Took my old mans Aprilia SVX550 our today, holy crap that thing is fun, scary fun!! Made a small pop.

 

Now that is a total hooligan machine.

 

It was my ultimate late teens dream to have an SX450 converted into the (now horribly failed) GP450 cup kit like below

I think a better request is of all the bikes in your old mans garage!

Its shrunk over the years. We lost a good friend and the focus turned to cycling.

 

At peak it looked like:

 

Yamaha R1

Yamaha R6

Yamaha RZ500

Yamaha Virgo 1100 Special

Yamaha Virgo 750

Yamaha Virago 535

BMW GS1150

BMW GS 650

Aprilia RS250

Suzuki RGT125

Honda CR250

Suzuki DRZ400

Suzuki LTZ400 Quad

Honda CBR600F4 race bike

Yamaha PW80 (my first bike I got in 1989)

2 x Yamaha PW50 (pink one and a blue one)

Suzuki LT50 Quad

 

Many have come and gone since then, but over all its some what smaller now. Ill ask for pic and post.

 I don't know him, but I like your old man, just for having this gem in his collection.

HAD, it’s gone now. He kicks himself for selling it. It was probably the cleanest one I have ever seen. Think he sold it about 2 years ago for R80k, seen similar ones now going for more than R200k

Saw one advertised over the weekend in the UK for 24999GBP, and it wasn't even 100%. Missing a grab rail, radiator mesh, etc.

CRAZY MONEY nowadays!!!!!!

I know of one in the Cape that went for R168k last week and it sold in 15mins as it was a bargain.

I can put anybody looking onto one going for R250k BTW.......
