I was quite late to the party with bikes, didn’t get my first bike until 2015 at the age of 40. Got a Honda CBF to get me through my CBT and license, the inspiration was to cut my over an hour commute down to 20 mins or so.
After using that for a bit (absolutely great little bike for commuting though traffic to be fair).
I got this BMW GS F650
Then changed that for my current bike a Suzuki 600 Bandit
I got that in 2017, but a change of job meant that I didn’t do much commuting on it and now it mostly stands in the garage not doing too much.
Oh, and here’s Lego models of the GS and the Bandit, they are coincidence not on purpose.
