65 Alstate Puch 50cc
1981 Honda CB400T Hawk*
1982 Honda VF750C Magna*
1983 Honda VF1100C Magna*
1984 Kawasaki KZ750
1987 Yamaha FZ750*
1999 Suzuki GSX750F Katana*
1999 Honda VFR800Fi#
1984 Honda VF1000F#
1985 Honda VF1000R#

 

I'll bring back an old thread...

1. 2004 Honda CRF50
2. 1972 Yamaha DT125
3. 1970 Suzuki TS250 Savage
4. 1999 Suzuki GS500
5. 2001 Suzuki GS500
6. 1978 Suzuki GS500
7. 1997 Suzuki GSX600 Katana
8. 1989 Ninja 600
9. 2005 Kawasaki Z750S
10. 1982 Suzuki GS1100EZ (still own)
11. 2007 Honda VFR800 RWB (still own)

The Ninja I sold without ever getting it to run, the Katana I parted out, the DT125 and TS250, I never had on the road. The GS1100EZ I am still working on but is very close to being roadworthy. KLR650 or similar may be in the near future.

 

My Bikes

In 1984 First bike 1982 Honda CB450 Hawk
In 1989 Second 1984 Honda Asscot 500 (nice little Vtwin, water cooled shaft drive)
Then I took about 15 years off
In 2004 Kawasaki 2000 ZR7 (very nice naked sport)
In 2008 My present bike 2003 VFR800

 

Let's see. Been riding for 33 years so the memory is not that sharp anymore!

Honda 125 - old, don't know the year, red flared fenders, chrome and rubber on the sides of the tank for gripping - 16 years old, 500 bucks - all was good in my world!

Suzuki 380 two stroke
1977 Honda 400four - bought new - amazing bike!
Suzuki GS1100E - bought new - another amazing bike!
Suzuki GS 750
Yamaha Venture Royale
Yamaha RD350
1989 Honda Pacific Coast - bought new - had this one for a while - ahead of it's time!
1999 Yamaha XT350
1998 Honda VFR800FI - written off due to a car rear ending me at a stop light
1999 Honda VFR800FI - my bike now (and lovin' it)!

By far (other than the 2 VFR's) the bikes that I bought new were the best and kept the longest.

 

These would cover about 45 years of riding, but I've not bought a new bike since I got the VFR in 2000, and only three bikes since 1986.

1. Honda S65
2. Honda S90
3. '71 Honda CB 350
4. '71 Triumph Bonneville
5. '73 Triumph Bonneville
6. '72 Kawasaki Z1
7. Yamaha 920 Virago
8. '76 Triumph Bonneville
9. '76 Yamaha XS 750
10. '69 Bultaco Matador
11. 3 Yamaha DT 175's
12. Suzuki TS 185
13. Yamaha RD350
14. Yamaha RD400
15. '80 Suzuki GS1000G
16. '84 Honda VF700R
17. '86 Yamaha FJ1200
18. '82 Honda Gold Wing
19. '99 Honda VFR

It seems like there's a few missing but can't recall which ones. My favorite would be the VFR natch, and my least favorite would have to be the Yamaha XS750, a real POS.

 

1. 2000ish BMW F650gs Dakar
2. 2002 Honda VFR 800fi
3. 1996 Honda CBR 600f3
4. 1985 Honda Nighthawk 700sc

Well, here's my list in ownership order:

May 84, used 83 Honda VT600T Ascot, traded in Mar 85
Mar 85, new 85 Honda VF700f Interceptor (blue and white), destroyed in May 88 by newspaper reading cager at red light.
April 86, new 86 Kawasaki GPZ550, traded in Mar 87
Mar 87, new 87 Kawasaki ZX750f Ninja (Pearl Cosmic black), traded in Feb 92
Feb 92, new 90 Honda CBR1000f, (Silver and grey), sold on Dec 30 1996 at 1735 for the most evil reason possible, to replace a car

Then, after 8 years, 1 month, 5 days, 21 hours and 30 minutes condemned to life in cages

Feb 05 2005, a beautiful new 05 Honda VFR (Silver Frost Metallic), paid for 100% cash (SCREW YOU, bad credit score!)

Now, I'm waiting for the VFR1000 to come out. It's gonna have 8 cylinders, a self recharging hydrogen fuel cell, A KITT class AI instead of ECM and nanotech maintenance/repair system! Really and truely!

 

So you stil have the Velocette and the Metralla.........sweeeeeeet.
