Julian West was a massive fan of Croz back in 1983; that’s why when he’d finished rebuilding his Kawasaki KH250 he painted it in Moriwaki colours. This snap was taken before Julian headed off to Silverstone for the 1983 British GP. The RG500 had many positive features but the front brakes really weren’t one of them. Zoran Cuk spent much of the late 80s pondering the problem of how to improve the anchors on his Suzuki RG500. Riding a Honda CBX1000 can be a tiring task, maybe that’s why Adam Clarke had to take a break and chill out on his CBX (right)? And check out another of Adam Clarke and his CBX: and we are loving the chromed tank. Luke Mcgreevy found this photo from a three month road trip that he and his friend Ben Jamie Connop went on. The Kocinski Shoei was bang on trend for 1993 and so were their ZXR400S. In 2007 John Mclean bought a Suzuki RF600. He loved that bike so much that when he needed to buy a bike to get to work last month he went out and purchased its bigger brother, the RF900. The only way is Essex. Under that Johnny K Shoei rep lurks Tony Greenslade the owner of Gibson Exhausts UK. The candy blue LC was purchased from our own Scott Redmond back in the early 1990s. Joining Tony for the photo is Richard Veroft, his LC was a 250. Nazim Ahmet and his mate were all revved up with nowhere to go in 1980. Their Suzuki mopeds were the TS50ER and the rarer X1-50. This photo was taken in Forest Hill, SE23. The Suzuki Bandit 1200 was a mass seller in the 90s, but where are they all now? This is Ian ‘Shroom’ Burgess on his one back in 2010. The bike was a true all-rounder and not only was it used for the daily ride but it also went to Santa Pod several times and even did a few track days.
