1980 Yamaha SR185 ( if I had known how rare it was, I'd took better care of it)
1981 Honda CM400t (2 of them, at different times)
1981 Honda CM400a Hondamatic ( a real dog )
1984 Honda Magna V30. (dropped dead at 40,000 miles)
1981 Honda CB750k ( full Vetters)
2007 VMAX ( finally! )
2007 Honda VTX 1300c ( for my GF, after they gave me a deal I couldn't refuse.
 
First of all this thread is almost pointless after the first dude had 37 bikes. That is nuts!!
89 Suzuki ES500
86 Kawasaki Ninja 1000R
01Suzuki TLR1000
04 Yamaha R6
03 Yamaha Vmax

Honestly the Vmax is the most fun to ride. I've put more miles on it then any other bike. Its comfortable and power full. I like the super light feeling of the R6 but the Vmax is definitely my favorite.
 
The Norton I had was a PITA and I ended up selling it for more than I paid for it. I never even got around to investing in whitworth tools before I unloaded it. However, I never regretted owning it one bit.
I Wouldn't mind getting another EArly Suzuki GS again someday.
I could go on and on about feelings/experiences associated with each bike :)
 
75 Honda XR75
81 Honda CR450R
82 Yamaha Enduro 125
84 Suzuki GS550
99 Vmax

My CR450R was by far the most fun bike I've owned. A dirt bike with what felt like Vmax power.:biglaugh:

In the following order:-

Yamaha FS1-M (Too many teenage memories to criticise)
Suzuki AP 50 (Heap of Shite)
KTM 125 LC MX (Ex Factory Bike)
3 x Yamaha RD 125 LC (Maaaad !!!)
Kawasaki ZXR 750 H1 (First proper bike after passing test)
2 x Honda CB 600 Hornet (Very fast and alround practical)
Suzuki DRZ 400 (Not practical at all and bought on a whim)
Kawasaki KLR 650 Tengai (Now a Cafe Racer)
Honda CB 1300 SF (Jap Grey Import, not crappy Euro model. Why did I sell it ???)
BMW R 1100 GS (Probably the best alround bike, ever)
Fantic 241 Progress 2 Trials Bike (Ran like Shite)
GasGas JT 25 Trials Bike (Very nimble and reliable)
Suzuki LS 650 Savage (Nicely customised but fuelling was a pig)
Yamaha V-Max :eusa_dance:(Uhmm, yeah baby)

So I make that 16 bikes in 26 years. I'm definately keeping the Max, though out of all of them my favourite is between the R1100GS and the Max. Out of all of them, I wish I hadn't sold the R1100GS or the CB1300SF.
