Trev's motorbikes from 1987-1993
This is a photographic reminder of the bikes that Trev use to own and ride.
Yamaha RZ250
Due to the increased pressure from crap public transport in the brisbane area (yes, even 20+ years ago we had crap public transport in Brisbane) and the increased pressure from Trev's cousins around the Hervey Bay areas having street racing bikes, Trev purchased his first bike in 1987. Yes, don't laugh, lots of people had long hair like that in those days... 
Yamaha TZR250
With slightly increased horsepower, but a noticable wider power band and even lighter weight the Yamaha TZR250 was a reasonable upgrade and a fun bike to ride.
Suzuki 250K (I think it was a K)
This bike was to start my absolute love affair with Suzuki RGV's. No wonder they labeled the back of the bike "Slingshot". This was an incredibly fast bike for the price and size. Faster than any street car (porsche, ferrari etc... from 0 to 100km/hr in well under 4 seconds. This was my third bike in 3 years. (Approx. 1989).
Suzuki 250L (I think it was a L)
This was not a huge change over the previous bike. However, due to a friend rolling it several times over the side of the road and into a creek bed, it needed replacing (note to brain... be more careful when loaning things to other people).
Suzuki 250M (Kevin Schwantz Replica)
This was my pride and joy. This bike was best explained for ride experience as "using a scalpal". With massive brakes, an incredibly wide power band (almost felt like a 4 stroke for low revs acceleration) and the first of the banana swingarm and upside down front forks. Mind you this bike also gave me the chance for touring the prison cells for an afternoon and a couple of meetings with a magistrate with my barrister. (200km/hr in a 40 zone wasn't cool... if only the cops had flicked their lights instead of baiting me it wouldn't have gone that far... but that is another story!)
This bike used not one large front rotor for breaking, but two. It also had not one, but two sets of brake calipers on each disc! No wonder it braked as well as it did. It was also the first RGV model to bring out the double exhausts on the same side of the bike.
You can also see an example of this bike in action towards the end of this video below. This is not me by the way. I think it is in America. This bike is not ridden in this example anywhere as hard as it can be, though his stopping and turning will give you some idea of how quickly it slows with those huge brakes. It also shows you some of the top end speed and some of the redline magic that blew away other cars and much larger bikes. Especially around winding bendy roads such as Mt Glorious here in Brisbane.

Suzuki 250N (My last RGV)
I did end up with a loss of license for 6 months and needed to sell my Gamma Kevin model... a very sad day. However, I did manage to grab one last RGV model, the "N" for another 6 months before I sold this bike in March 1993. I needed a car and that was that.
Do I ever have the urge to jump on another bike... absolutely. I think as you get older, you realize how much safer a car is then a bike. I did have a few spills (never my fault) and the only car in traffic to almost run me over was an Ambulance believe it or not. Well like a driving instructor once said to me over 20 years ago... "A dint on a car bumper bar, is a broken leg on a bike". Now with a family to look after, I guess you also feel the need to keep yourself safe and provide for your family, but boy do I miss the fun of red lining every one of those 6 gears on an RGV!!!
