What bikes have you owned?
Motorcycles.....
Which ones have you owned? I'll start: First one - 1980 Honda CX 500 Custom. (INDESTRUCTIBLE machine!) Number two: 1980 Yamaha XS 1100 Special. (I rode it really fast.  )third: 1976 Honda GL 1000 - basket case and I had no $$ to fix it, but I still rode it!  Next...? I like the Yamaha V-Max, but I think my budget may mandate something a little more affordable. I fell in love with the FJ 1200 for some reason, and they can be acquired on the used market far cheaper than the V-Max, so....

Re: What bikes have you owned?
Just an SV650 (naked of course). Tons of mods but very much lacking in wind/weather protection. Considering 4 bikes to remedy the situation:
Triumph 955 Honda Interceptor/VFR Aprilia Futura SV 1000S Too hard to decide.... |

Re: What bikes have you owned?
Oooooh, this would be a long list. So I'll just give the hi-lites. Started with a Bultaco Matador, rode Spanish dirt bikes, Swedish dirt bike, Japanese DP, first street bike Suzuki Titan 500 (bought new), various Japanese street bikes, 2 Harley SuperGlides still have the '83 and currently use a Bandit 1200s for my main distance ride.

Re: What bikes have you owned?
Some of us get historic concerning their past rides and then some of us are mear babes in the saddle. I'd like to think I'm out of diapers but in the last 3 years my stable has grown considerably. With a family of 5 everyone wants to ride. It all started with:
2000 ttr125 (middle son) 1978 suzuki PE175 (the only one I got rid of) 2004 Yahama zuma (ha got my m1 on a 50cc scooter) 2000 Honda xr70 (youngest son 10) we hit the freestyle ramp and clear 20 in hight and 20 in distance he likes to buts freestyle moves at 10. 88cc kit in the works. 1980 Yahama yz50 (2 smoke with a 80 jug) 1978 Honda xr75 (daugther) 2003 CRF230 great for chasing the kids 2004 Kawasaki ex250 (lasted me 3mths and handed down to the wife) 2003 Suzuki SV1000s All of this within the period of 3yrs.  In the planing is a cbr600rr for the wife, and yx125 for the eldest son, and a track bike for ME Steven
