Hi fellow lovers of not too heavy, singles and twins. I have owned, ridden and worked on the following bikes in the last 2 years and sold them after basic restoration to happy customers: Honda Cd 250U 1991, Honda Cb 200 1973, Yamaha XS 250 1980, Yamaha SR 250 1991, Honda CB 750f 1980. I am currently doing up a Kawasaki Z200 1980. In the past I have owned: 3 x Honda CB 550 f Supersport 1975-6, Yamaha SR 500 1978, Honda Cb1100f Super Bol Dor 1981, Honda Cbr 600RR 2003. I am 72kg not very tall therefore like the singles and twins. Easy to work on and retro cool. I'm in Kings Cross/ Darlo, Sydney. Nice quiet place with plenty of parking. I'm no mechanic but pretty handy with most things.
I too like the simplicity of singles. At present have Hondas; FT500, NX650, SL125 (x4), XL100, C50. Kawasaki; KE175, F2tr. Yamaha; YB100, AG100, YZ250 (drag bike) Maico; 250 Enduro. Twins, Yamaha; XV250 Virago, YDS-5 250. A single is all you need to get around (twins are handy if one pot goes sour and can still get home on the other one).
