Interesting thread, prompted me to try and remember the bikes I've had. I've been riding since the late 80's and been lucky enough to be able to hold on to a few of them....
RD125 LC, first bike which I took my test on.
CBR600 my first and only brand new bike, bought the day I passed my test.........
FZR1000 EXUP
Suzuki GT200 X5, still got it.
RGV250 which I really really wish I still had!
FZR750R (Grey import, not the OWO1 unfortunately!)
Kawasaki 250XL
KTM250 enduro bike
Yamaha TDR250, still got it.
Honda CB600 Hornet, still got it.
Yamaha XJ600 Diversion.
Matchless G3, still got it.
Honda Fireblade, destroyed at the Nurburgring. The one and only time I've binned my road bike.
Honda XR650R, still got it.
Kawasaki ZX7R, which later became a 7/9. Brilliant bike, should never have sold it...
GSXR1000 K5, still got it.....
SV650 K5, still got it.
Suzuki DRZ400 SM, still got it.
Gas Gas 300EXC.
Aprilia SXV550, still got it.
Honda VFR800 VTEC, still got it.
I've also got another 600 Hornet and VFR800 that I've mothballed for succession purposes...
So of the 23 bikes I've bought I've still got 12 of them which means I'm either a hopeless romantic who can't let go, or I bought well!
