Cheers!
Thank you so much Wolfy. Yes, quite astonishing indeed, now when I read my own write-up again.

This is such a tastefully curated and purposeful garage. Look forward to regular updates on life with these three very unique machines.

Only speed read it for now but looking forward to a lazy weekend read over a cup of coffee.
Haha. Yes, indeed. I concur. I should share my experiences with each of these as all of them had been a joy in their own respect. And something beyond just calling them, triggers it for us. So till we enjoy, never say later.

And that picture with CBR 250 R!- That was emotional. In my mind, the CBR was out of the picture and after all these times keeping it was definitely emotional.
Wishing you safe rides and I'm pretty sure that you would buy another bike or replace one with an exotic one and come with a post "Living an evolved Impossible dream" (I can see you smiling :P).
At last thank the almighty for all these blessings, as these are more like dreams within dreams. Ultra few get to enjoy them.
Thank you for the kind words. For me too at that time in my life, I thought Z800 is it all. But again, we never cease to be amazed. But true that, CBR is still a lot more than just a commuter. Amazing companion for over a decade now.

Absolutely. Let's plan. Always happy to have company. And BTW, the Street Triple still makes my heart skip a beat, especially the Yellow RS. Ah! These triples are sweet!

Do log your ownership reviews for each, that'd make for an even more superb article. Good luck, ride safe and ride long.

Cheers!

Thanks a ton VJ. And yes, I will be putting up something on each of them. They are all equally celebrated and sought after. Will do something soon.

Aprilia really needs to buck up as Ducatis are slowly catching up in terms of sports bike and even ADVs.
You are bang on point. Aprilias make beautiful and soulful machines. Each one of them endears a unique character. I just hope and pray that they wake up and take this as an opportunity to flourish and grow.

Would love to join, on your next big ride
Haha. Yes, it's not complete, hopefully. Cherishing it each turn. Let's see what the future holds. But its a very distinct satisfaction to be a multidimensional rider and attempt to explore everything out there as much as one can. I can assure you, they all are equally enjoyable. That's why we have so much diversity.

A envious and purposeful garage with CBR/RSV/ GSA. Wishing you tons of miles of safe riding.

Look forward to reading more of your journeys!

P.S: I'm also of the same age group ( 80 to be precise). Started my riding journey with KB4S, then RD 350s, Gen1 P180, then a 10 year hiatus followed by Gen 1 Duke 390, again 7-8 year break and now a Tiger 800 XRx.

P.P.S: Two wheels move the soul! I cannot say it enough. You are a case in point!
Yes, we are from the same Golden Age. And it was really a long journey to accomplish. Thank you for the wishes and I hope to continue my journey as is and certainly love to catch up sometime on the road. Will never cancel that possibility.

Thank you for this beautiful write up and sharing your motorcycle journey with us. I could relate to so many parts of it.

As somebody, who has also been given up on by friends and family on being sensible, I now strive to somehow manage my image of being stupid, illogical, over the top but in the end fun.

Wishing you many happy years with the lovely ladies!!
The RSV4 remains a princess un-attainable for many of us mere mortals!!

CHEERS!!
