Best allrounder I've ever owned 👍

Had my Bevel Darmah 15 yrs, awesome bike, did 80 th ks on it. Sure lots to learn with owning one but always reliable and perfect ride. I priced up last year, buy another and re build, out of my financial range. Crazy prices. DP, i found out of my 4 GT750, i liked the L the most. Just rode so nice. Others, K M &A were good but loved that blue L. With chambers on it did sound awesome.

Grog, The GT750L was a peach, the first of the very, very good ones - a mate had one, consequently I got to ride it regularly back in the `70`s. I couldn`t believe how it would pick the front end up `at will` in 1st, (no clutch). His was the sorta `burnt orange/black pinstripe` colour. Luvved it to ride. I owned a standard red `76 `A`, slightly different engine spec to the `L` (as you`ll know). The only reason why my favourite is the `M` is due to the tank shape, which I think suits the bike far better than the tank does on the later `A&B` models.
Cheers, Dave :onya:

My first legal road bike was around 15 or 16 yrs old. Mates called it an old clunker. It was a bloody good old clunker. So now, my 14 is nearly 15, mates call it an old clunker. Funny how life doesnt change that much. BTW, its a bloody good old clunker.  :)

I've had enough of old bikes.

For something very different on the day l could be tempted with a LC350  :drool:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Great bikes, but too small for my liking. Felt even smaller actually riding one!
But now i'm thinking RG500......oh, yes please! :drool: The ultimate stroker.

They all end up with oil dripping out of the pipes because all the old farts that think they are young again can't ride them quick enough.

Haha, you might have a point there Irish.

Grog you can have my 76 RD400C for $5000, bargain considering they want about that in GBP over here.
