Yeah, I've been looking at some old classic 80's and 90's Jap bikes, prices are not too bad.

I wish they did trackday groups which specialised in =<500cc I'd be there on a VFR400 too
I'd imagine in the next few years they are going to start increasing in value. If you want a really good deal and super clean bike, importing one from Japan is a good option. I spend a fair bit of time out there for work and there is a tuning shop/dealer literally next to my company offices. Only deals with 80s and 90s bikes. It's an Aladdin's cave and i have no idea how i haven't bought something from there yet haha.

That would be amazing Alex. I actually think it would be extremely popular. There is also this company that organises classic TDs https://www.classicbiketrackdays.com/events/
If you're into 400s, this site used to be fab for information

Used to have a FZR400 and there was a lot of helpful advice on hand.

Had the ZZR since 2014, great bike and does a fair bit of everything. RSV4rf bought to fill the gap until the new s1k is sorted better.

I've got a 1980 DT175MX, 91 KDX250SR, 88 FJ1200 and a 98 R1, no more room in the garage. Haven't used the R1 for years, but the others get some use, either pillion for the Mrs, bit of green lane / winter hack or runs with the VMCC.
the RR gets most use - done 7000 miles this year so far

As well as the 2016 gen 3, I've got a tlr 250 ( mid 80s I think, had it since I was 14, needs a fair bit of restoration work, but totally original and complete), a 2000 vtr1000 sp1 & my dad's 1980 Moto guzzi T3.
In addition to the 2 wheelers there is also a vr6 corrado and a R32 skyline gtr in the shed.

I know a couple of lads on the island that's won multiple completions. One of my friends has won a rally prepped mk2 escort, an Audi A3, a tool chest full of tools and a DeWalt tool bundle, all in separate completions!
Must be better odds than the lottery!

Got a Honda NC700SA for second bike. Good for a hack and shopping with the storage compartment where the fuel tank would normally be.
