I also had a 1992 FJ1200, that thing could do a 130 all day and you could ride it all day.

YEP! we had a guy who rode one.. we called it the lead-sled.. it was fukking fast, low and long.. he would be cooking down the road and scraping pegs in the curves.. our 600s had a problem keeping up with him.. those were good. his was a matte silver

yeah they were only 600s but the way they rode could get you into trouble real quick compared to todays 600s.. you could go over the limits easy.. you were never quite sure where the limits were until it was too late.. ha ha
 
we stay focused mostly on buells here but there still a ton of stuff outside the buell world as you can see by everyone elses posts. ... everyone has a "past" everyone has their own stories .. its good to share them.


by the way "Blue Smoke rocket" is now the official name of all 2-strokes in my vocabulary.... "blue smoke rockets".. that's what they were

You being in a warm weather state you have the luxury of riding everyday, we can only wait till its spring, although I did have my cop bike today for lunch at my local watering hole, Its 40 degrees and sunny today in Pa.

ill ride with guys but only if they are old enough to trust... I saw a lot of bike on bike collisions back in my youth.. wheelie mistakes and guys on the inside not being able to make the turn and force the guy on the outside to leave the road .. side-swipes too, broken feet and all that.. I'm paraniod

Love that triple, you should bring that deathtrap down this summer John. Show all the spray tanned fist pumpers on their slammed, strapped, and stretched busas a real bike!!!!!

spray tanned fist pumpers. LOL. that is outstanding wally. doubt they'd even know what a 2-stroke is or what they're capable of.
 
44 years after their introduction tom they remain to this day the most terrifying, most violent, most unpredictable and most exhilarating production bike ever produced. probably why a nice one now sells for 1500% more than original MSRP.
 
I'm trying to find a photo of that bike, I think I'm sitting on it back when I was like 5 or 6.. it was maroon. over time it got tricked out with stingers and a solo tail, he eliminated the oil injection bc he said it didn't work anyway.. I think it just had clip ons and a headlight.. I don't think he had a faring on it.. damn that was along time ago .. like 76 or 77 last time I saw that thing.. naw must have been maybe 74-75.. about the time Hummel and Tennite got killed

Gloom glad I am responsible for updating your vocabulary "BLUE SMOKE ROCKET" lol.....that is exactly what they were!!!! And yes, they are all or nothing, two strokes have to be WOT or they are not happy. Absolutely great thread to btw gloom, really putting a smile on my face and taking me back 20 plus yrs when I had no cares in the world and zero fear, could hardly afford a yellow bulb for my gsxr, now I have a barn full of machines. Amazing I'm not dead the way I rode, God I know so much more now on how to ride. But damn was it FUN!!!!!!

looks like it WAS raced.. no tags, no blinkers.. it has a glass headlight though.. maybe that was done later?.. those wheels aren't 72 either

actually, looks like someone had a tag mounted on the back of the tail.. see the holes?

that's a disc rear too, someone was uprating that thing as he was going along.. someone loved that bike..
I wonder what the big front wheel did back in the day? stability?
its kinda weird looking back in time like that... the original owner is probably dead by now..or in his 70s

I know man.. you think I'm not temped? ha It would be cool as fukk to bring back some old guys blue smoke rocket.. whoever owned that was one of us, he was a brother... nickel plated his frame, painted and pinstriped his bodywork.. he was an OG.. bet he tore-assed around on that thing spreading that blue smoke like a champ!.. wish I could resurrect that smoke rocket

I have a Suzuki GT380 hiding in the back of the shop. Paint is done, but it needs everything else:(
A smoke burner on the back-burner. So sad.

The Mad Max fairing on that Yamaha is siiiick!
