I've got a small collection of motorbikes that keep me busy, servicing/repairing/restoring/etc, and when time allows, riding.

They've been borrowed by the motorcycle press for road tests and articles, including Practical Sportsbikes and Motorcycle News.

Here's a pic that was taken by a press photographer a few years ago.

It was a small collection at the time, before I added even more to this group!

I have thinned it down a bit from the excess of a year or so ago though, but it's still a fair amount to care for.

Not a bad effort to start!
I'm not sure of the total value to be honest, I don't see them as investments, although I guess they are to a degree.
They're all the bikes that I wanted in my younger years, but couldn't afford at the time.

I don't have enough garage space either, and now I've got the coupe, I'm extending my garage by 50% to fit it all in....

Yes it is, a 3MA5, last of the model line.

Japan had a frantic 250cc Production Racing Class, and all the manufacturers built bikes to compete.

Many teams were sponsored by big brands, and this one is in its original painted scheme, in homage to the Nescafe branded team.

I nearly bough a TZR 250 reverse cylinder back in 2002 but the carbs can be trouble and that put me off. It was only £1200 must be near 3k now . Bought a D reg Suzuki RG500 for £1500 back in 2006 and rode it around for 6 months and sold it for £2500 . You wont even buy an engine for that money now
