Motorcycling

i had a yamaha 1100cc dragstar classic had to get rid but i loved being out on my bike

That's a nice bike, i had a 100 cc Yamaha i used for work till it got stolen. I have had a total of 72 bikes through my lifetime. Most were left in original concurs condition (that's the Asperger's and OCD in me) but some were in classic cafe racer style as that was my fun stuff, but all were in immaculate condition, its what i lived for.

always fancied a kawasaki VN1700 tourer or a triumph rocket 3

25 year old makes them Vintage, so i guess. 

I paid £950 for my ZX-9R 5 years ago...  She's a little tired round the edges, but then she is an old girl now (23 years).  That said, she still shifts and is as willing and eager as always

mmmm yes, i was looking to spend next year about 7 to 9k

£12000 for a VN1700 £13000 for a rocket if only lol

When i was young, bikes were at most £295.00, now their a little more than my pension can afford, although the Triumph Explorer is in budget, some like those you'r listed are too much, but excellent choices. keep riding.
