Nice Pics

I just loved the rivalry between the AP and the Fizzie (even today)

And of course the AP was best? Had 55mph out of mine, tail wind, feet on
rear indicators and spanny chamber, taken as read.

With the crappy old Yam…they designed the gearbox “the wrong way round?” Not to mention the minging "purple one? And didn't they put the kickstart on the wrong side?
or was that the Honda ss50. How things have changed tho...My AP was around 5 years old when I got it and the mudguards were already rusted to bits lol

I don't think that will ever disappear. the gear box wasn't the best and he's gear leaver was always coming loose lol the peddles never worked eva but he love it. I had mine rebored to a 65cc 70mph down hill then it blow the big end that's was a sad day then came the RD and what a bike. The kids today don't know what there missing

I am interested in your feelings of the Kawi Versys compared to the FZ-07 (hope that's not too off-topic).

My first street bike was a 1977 Yamaha RD 400. My second was a 1983 Honda CBX550F. The RD was a lot quicker.
