Done track days a few years ago when I had a Daytona 600, but not had the funds to get back on track recently. I would love to get a track bike though. I would say I am a ...

Re: It was 20 years ago today..........

Nowt wrong with the motor in those 955i/T595's, my first trackday was on my old 595, so much rain they closed Cadders. Second time round was at Snetterton and I found a lad on a 996 that was about the same ability as me, had a great time but nearly fell off when the suspension threw its hand in and ...

Re: It was 20 years ago today..........

They're ugly looking bikes but pretty decent all rounders. I used to do track days on mine. The beloved Yellow Whale.

Re: It was 20 years ago today..........

I was offered a crap price for my 955i (the much maligned '02 model) when I bought the first 675 I had... so I changed dealers and saved $1800. When I bought the '02 on run out I almost bought the older model but it was the same price... how I wish my heart gad ruled my head. I had a sprint RS and i...

Re: It was 20 years ago today..........

Iconic and still desirable indeed. Dunno if I could afford the upkeep.

I keep looking at the t595 Daytona or first 955i which are now about 5k Aussie or less in winter... I'm sure I could afford another set of stands, spare some extra garage space and justify the cost of club rego and insurance....

Got offered bugs-on-a-stick a few years back on holiday, one of those delicacies that are best left to desperate, vacuous celebs I discovered. (doh)

Still utterly beautiful, and yes I still would. (inlove)

Even though I would need a fire extinguisher in my rucksack, and my very own Osteopath for an afternoon afterwards.

Re: It was 20 years ago today..........

At the time it was heart stoppingly beautiful.
It still looks DDG 20 years on IMHO.

However (sorry Duke) I now prefer the looks of my 675.
The true test, I guess, will be if my bike still retains the same impact in 20 years time.
