You can travel back in time 50 years with *one* bike . . .

I would take a Hayabusa back to 1958 . . . imagine the impact that would have, 16 valve head, 11,000 rpm, 210Kg, 190 mph . . . 32bit CPU in ECU . . could jump start the UK bike/electronics industry . . . :slight_smile:

Imagine blasting up the then brand new and empty M1 motorway . . . :w00t: :stuck_out_tongue:

2

That would have brought the speed limit in even sooner :w00t:Would be nice to pull up next to Chunky when he had hair :stuck_out_tongue:

3

It’s only 50 years we’re going back you know ;):stuck_out_tongue:

4

Obviously I’d like to take my Fugly. :wink:

But they should be bemused with this:

Oldguy.

Id bring the new Gilera GP800 scooter, so that those rockers wouldnt be able to take the **** out of a mod riding scooter boy because his scooter is a hair drier when my scooter has a 850cc twin under the skin.

but they would still laugh at a fat boy in wellies on a scooter :slight_smile:

9

i bet the then petrol will work lovely on them new bikes, lol

10

Remember 5 star petrol?:w00t:

11

I would take one of the new Triumph Twins, prolly a Boneville, to show the guvners at Meridan what they could do if they took their heads out of their ar$es and saw the new fangled rice burners as a real threat instead of resting on their laurels like they did and by doing so let the British Bike industry die.:crazy:

12

id take the Desmosedici and have some fun :smiley:

13

take a Harley show them the future the same as the past :smiley:

14

So you’d take a new twin to show em that they should have moved on? lol

take a z1300 with 6 cylinders then the brits might think oo 6 cylinders then the japs will look like twats when they come out with 4 cylinde.

What I meant was to show them what they could have developed from their original concept.We all know the trumpet engine was esentially unchanged from 1930-odd until the '70’s. They just needed to wake up a bit:)

16

Call me geek, but I wouldn’t take a bike, I’d take a box of the manuals of HOW they’re built… change my name to Toby Haynes, and patent the lot! Then I’d wait til I was 84 (that would be then plus another 50 years) get back to today, and buy myself a Desmo, that had already had a bonus 50 years of development tacked on by my time-travelling escapades!
