Pics for bike lovers - RX 100 - Fury 175 GPX - XL1200 N Nightster - CBR 1000R

gthang · 29th January 2010, 23:53

Seeing how you guys love to see pics, I feel I should contribute and post some pictures of my bikes as a token of appreciation for t-bhp. My bikes: 1. 1989 RX 100. Restored as a scrambler. Not very pleased with outcome. Sparingly used, and will get transformed to a full fledged dirt bike soon. 2. 1990 Enfield Fury 175 GPX. Again recently restored after a sitting in garage for over 15 years. Runs OK, but a bit of ringing at higher revs, but fun nonetheless. 3. 2009 Harley Davidson XL1200 N Nightster. Imported last year brand new and running great. Have installed Screaming Eagle Performance air filter and boy, does she scream. Waiting for Harley dealers to get to full swing before I can get crazy and put some shortys and stuff. One of the best Harleys for Indian conditions, IMHO. 4. 2010 Honda CB1000R. First of only four white CB1KR's in India, so I am told by Honda. Have managed to put only 400 clicks on her yet. Great fun around town. Just love shooting into holes in traffic. I am not at home with my babies now, have to work to pay for the toys

Hope you enjoy the pics while I wait till my next ride. Keep riding.

P.S. Some pics of the Harley and Fury were posted earlier on some other threads. Sorry if repetitive.

WOW!! The Fury looks Awesome. And so does the CB and the Harley.

This belongs to the bike pics thread which is a sticky in this section.

Still, nice pics bud.

Nice line up you've got there! The Fury used to be a big favorite of mine back in the 90s. The Harley & the Honda look splendid!

Thanks. But I would hardly say that "I have everything". I aspire to have more and that desire is what keeps me going. T-bhp has been an inspiration to reignite the enthusiast within me, and I wanted to share my pride and joy with fellow enthusiasts.

fantastic bikes there mate! the RX and the Fury look extremely well maintained.

love the orange-black theme on the harley.

thats one hell of a garage man

Thanks. My first white vehicle. I was apprehensive at first, but i think white looks really good on the CB. For the Harley, anything but the trademark Harley Orange and Black was out of the question. They discontinued the Orange/Black, and the Nightsters going to come to India are Scarlet Red/Black, so I guess mine will remain unique

I will post some videos when I get back in a month or so. I must say though, the CB sounds unimpressive, like a Honda sedan. Probably why most guys with CB have switched to aftermarket exhausts. I like the titanium short exhaust for its looks, though.

I do consider myself a bike guy and I LOVE your garage. But I'm more interested in that red Mercedes behind!

He he. Knew it would just be a question of time before some MB guy would spot her. I could go on and on about it at the risk of running seriously off topic. In short, its a single owner Germany spec W123 series 1986 LHD 200D, and a testament to German engineering and reliability. Owned, driven and maintained by my Dad.

I guess its OK to be a bike guy and love cars too, or vice versa

I was a latent bike guy till recently too.

Thanks for the effort and your motorcycles do look lovely, even i started my riding with a Yamaha RX-100,as new ones had ceased production, smell of burnt 2T is nostalgia

This is what takes the cake

Even with my humble earnings have sampled few Indian motorcycles(RX100=P-180dts=HH Karizma=Yamaha R15/Fazer) and i am simply earning as i want to have my fill of a high revving inline 4, else i am pretty satisfied with my life,
^^did you sample the 1000RR?
few pics of you with riding gear going for rides would be really nice

Was never interested in the RR, not being a fan of the crouched riding position. I didnt get to test either of the bikes before buying. Just went with online journo and owner reviews, and wasnt disappointed.

Few pics with riding gear attached. I had a bike accident about 8 years ago, broke a couple of toe bones. The accident due to my error, and the injury due to lack of protection. Since then swore to never ride without proper protection, with the idea of being to able to walk away from any type of fall. I do get strange looks, sneers, and even cops stopping me when I ride like this in my neck of the woods, but as t-bhp already knows, SAFETY FIRST.

Sheel · 1st February 2010, 16:24

actually i prefer the crouching part

Shoei, Dainesi way to go

which riding boots are you sporting, with the CB? with Harley i presume they are regular shoes with ankle length protection
and which jacket are you wearing on the Harley?(its with back protection)

balenopower · 1st February 2010, 17:24

Boots look like A-stars, while the Jacket on the Harely is an IICON i think!
