1. 65 Honda CB50 (the non-step thru so it looked like a real motorcycle)
2. 69 Suzuki X6 250 Hustler (a stupid name for a real fast bike)
3. mid 60s Ducati 250 (still have it... in boxes)
4. 72 Honda CR125 Elsinore (a great first real dirt bike)
5. 74 Honda CB550 (Bought in Japan while in the Navy. Great first street bike. It's probably the reason I met and married my wife.)
6. 74 Honda CB750 (bought during second stint in Japan for a three week motorcycle tour of the country. If you wanna see my slide show... :lol )
7. 77 Yamaha RD400 (first brand new bike. Wish I still had it.)
8. 78 RD400 (a replacement for the first one that was stolen)
9. 76 Honda CB550 (too good a deal to pass up)
10. 83 Suzuki GS750es (former race bike. A great street bike. Not a competitive race bike.)
11. 95 VFR750 (my first bike of the modern era)
12. 00 VFR800 (still got it)
13. 00 Suzuki GSXR750 (former FP championship race bike. Shouldn't have sold it...)
14. 97 BMW F650 (former Helge Petersen- Fairbanks, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and back adventure bike. Bought with a blown crank. Still has a blown crank. It'll be my commuter/around the world bike someday...)
15. 03 Kawasaki ZX6rr (current track/canyon bike)
16. 04 FJR1300 (currently in transit from Florida)

Currently the VFR800 is my favorite bike. There probably isn't a bike that can do all of the things the VFR is capable of as well as it can. The first 550 could've been but I rode one a coupla years ago and wonder how I did some of the stuff I did on mine. Bikes have sure progressed over the last 30 years! I wonder if we're gonna be sayin' the same thing in 2033?

93 Yamaha Seca II
01 Ducati Monster 750 (current)
03 Honda F4i (current)

The Duc never fails to put a smile on my face.
 
96 GSXR 1100 (bought just to sell)

95 FZR 600 (have it now)
 
82 Yamaha IT465 - long gone.
02 Suzuki Bandit 1200 - still have, until the spring
04 Yamaha FJR1300 - keeper
 
?? Elite 80cc scooter
01 CBR F4i
91 FZR 600
99 VFR 800
02 RC51

Out of all the bikes I love the VFR the most although I wouldn't have minded keeping the CBR as my only bike nowadays. The cycle of being a motorcycle owner is kinda shitty. You start small because you're scared, you get progressively bigger and bigger bikes (because you can) and in the end you realize that the smallest bike was probably the fastest one despite popular misconceptions.

My next bike will be an all-out sport touring machine for righteous commuting. :teeth
