Following on from Richie's other thread about your 1st bike, thought I would start this one. Let's see which bikes you've had in your past.

Here's a few of mine.

1 of 2 XJR400's I owned. The other was a Kenny Roberts rep. That was stolen before I could get a picture :(

My 1st SV. Loved it, had a nasty crash & wrote it off. Nearly 5 months off work, but got back on a bike as soon as I could.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/199957_1012278626687_6749_n.jpg?oh=d6356ab8a6b24eb 9a9aaf98401d694f4&oe=56B14D07

Still on crutches when I bought my 2nd SV. This evolved over 3 years into one of the best rebuilds I ever did.

My 1st Track bike. I bought this from a Motorcycle training school as a bog standard CB500 & converted it myself.

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/59856_1586420144892_2646572_n.jpg?oh=7ca1dcc57895e f1df6a71548d87efdd9&oe=56FABA06

My favourite track bike. I regretted the day I sold this & hold the Isle of Man responsible after telling me I had a job there & not sending me the work permit.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10455868_10203886147578568_4761317679329081051_n.j pg?oh=efbe72d7524c93ad159fab0d5425eea9&oe=56B5B291

CBR600 That never saw the track. This bike was possessed. Fully rebuilt & everything went wrong with it, so got parted out & still caused problems when it was apart.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10398867_1140793079468_219022_n.jpg?oh=5da51a0ee10 88bd466de26c4254ea83b&oe=56F9E3C3

Peugeot Speedfight. Fully race prepped 70cc, new rollers, 100cc carb etc etc etc. Cost a fortune, did over 70mph, but I looked a complete kn0b riding it, so sold it to a spotty oik for a pittance.

SV1000.

Another CBR600. Had a play with this, then sold it on.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/318092_4055628308527_1689489661_n.jpg?oh=a23d124e8 3b910eeb44b5a64b6699e83&oe=56F18792

Triumph Daytona 955. This ended up being knicknamed Blue Poo. It gave me so many headaches when I bought it, but once they were solved, it ended up being a brilliant bike.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/58329_1637985548969_1602640_n.jpg?oh=8e11f70dafb62 fbe43264c8b9d5f7809&oe=56B39862

That's about it, other than a CX650 Eurosport that I haven't any pictures of. I did own quite a few 70s 2 strokes, but they never saw the road, so haven't added them.
These are the bikes I own now.

Triumph Sprint 955. My love hate relationship has carried on with this bike for 3 1/2 years.

Honda CBX550 F1. My long term restoration.

My ZXR750. total rebuild from a £300 wreck. I love this bike. Not on the road just yet, but will be very soon.

My Gladius. Wish I'd never bought it now. It's 6 months old & only has 1800 miles on the clock :(

Rebuilt this for the missus to do her CBT on Suzuki GN125

I've only had three and the photos are on here in the profile albums.

Nice collection you've had.

Which one do you miss and which one did you hate owning (if any)?

The one I really miss, strangely enough is the Mille GT. I've wantewd another Guzzi ever since, but haven't been able to afford one.
I didn't really dislike any of them. The Neval was a proper Eastern European pile of cack, but I only paid about £15 for it, so I couldn't complain.
