The bike

These are the bikes I’ve owned throughout my life, in chronological order. I’m not entirely sure how long I had the first ones, and unfortunately I don’t have photos of all of them.

Mobylette AV-89

The first bike I ever had. My sister sold it to me when I turned 18.

As you can see, I was up for anything! A trip from Barcelona to Sant Andreu de Llavaneres!!!

I had it from 1983 to 1987.

Montesa King Scorpion 250cc

“Inherited” from my father. This bike, almost a limited edition with only around 500 units on the market, gave me nothing but trouble.

I had it during 1988.

Vespa Primavera 125cc

I was looking for a bike for just six months, as I was supposed to leave for military service. In the end I didn’t go, and this bike even held up doing delivery work.

From 1989 to 1991.

Yamaha SR Special 250cc

Now we’re talking! My first brand-new bike. A custom bike, simple but with charm.

I had it from 1991 to 1996, until I moved on to the next level…

BMW K75S

My first BMW! Even though I wasn’t entirely sure, I was beginning to enjoy the whole concept of motorcycling in all its aspects, including the sporty side.

It was with me from 1996 to 2005.

The features of this sport bike:

BMW R1200RT (2005)

At last, one of my dreams has come true! The “big” BMW boxer.

A two-wheeled car that lets you enjoy the pleasure of riding a motorcycle with many of the advantages of a car.

A companion from 2005 to 2016.

BMW R1200RT (2016)

This is my current bike.

Staying true to my preferences. I’m still riding BMW’s boxer model.

With me since 2016.
