What's been your favorite bike?

[Chris S]

I've owned over 20 bikes. My favorite street and dirt bikes are the ones I own now, an '07 KTM Super Duke and an '07 KTM 300 XC-W.

[Ducati Diva]

I've only had one bike, my 06 ducati monster 900. I truly love this bike and have no plans to upgrade anytime soon.

Well, I've never sold a motorcycle, so that should tell you something.

Of the three, though, I probably like my 2004 636 the best. It's just a great-feeling bike. I do love the grunt of the GSXR1100 and the comfort of the ZZR, though.

What year is the 1100?

[Ol' Man Rider]

Busa for speed and overall cruising, 636 for track and twisties.

I have considered getting a zx10 as a twisty bike next...somewhat of an in between of my two favorites.

[Ninjakel]

I've had a few different bikes, but my current one is my fave. 2003 Gsxr 750.

[ceo012384]

My current is my first, so that's the answer.

Although it's gone from street bike, to street/trackday bike, to trackday bike, to race-only bike

[Papa_Complex]

BMW K75RT. Anti-lock, well thought-out hard luggage system, low maintenance shaft drive, big range on a tank, and a Blaupunkt

Favorites:

Now my current CRF150r is a real cool bike that I ride the crap out of. From Motard, ice riding, dirt, to mini road racing on Kart tracks its a do all bike.

My 1997 CBR600F3, it was not anything special, was even pretty ugly and had a once totaled title. But I just felt real super comfortable on it even when it was sliding and bucking and ready to toss me in the air at the next corner. I mean I had a head shake all the way down the front straight at Grattan huge enough that the flag guy gave me a thumbs up the next lap. Even then I was still OK with it and did not even slow down. (adjusted the suspension for the next session) but was still comfy the whole time. Wheelies 1st through 6th, stoppies for a block. Total trust in the front suspension. 10.97 in a 1/4 mile. I think I just got lucky with that bike, they can't all be like that, can they?

I used to get on the gas out of turn one after the 3rd time the stock shock bottomed(replaced with a Fox later). But I was comfortable enough to count them leaned over knee on the ground. All this on BT50, BT52 and BT56ss.

I remember with the BT-50s I could dumb the clutch at 7,000 and smoke the tire through 1st and 2nd for about 100yards and never gain traction till high in 2nd gear. Looked real cool but was real dumb. Also used to pull out of gas stations and spin up the rear tire for the last 1/3 of the turn with it kicked out like a foot then pull it up into a wheelie. I would not even try that on anything but the tards and the F3.

I should have been spit off this bike a million times. Yet the only time I fell I had a flat front tire.

Hey do you still live in Mi? Your list of bikes reminds me of someone I used to ride street and track with....
