My 92 was a great bike. Really solid, strong engine and well sorted suspension. The old school GSXR's were great bikes.

Love the buell...

08 GSXR1000 was nice too, but only on that one for about 20 min.

By far, I love my Aprilia Tuono. Superbike handling & power, big dirtbike ergos. It's kinda like an overgrown hypermotard, but more power & less Ducati

I see myself keeping this bike for a LONG time to come... and if I can find a job where I actually make some damned money, I've got some pretty serious plans for her...

54mm throttle bodies, full 2-2 akra system, 1060cc kit, marchesini's or OZ's, ohlins front & rear, carbon everywhere, etc etc etc.

My RC51 was the most exciting bike I ever rode. There was something about it I just loved.

My cbr1000rr was lightning fast, but had no soul.

but no bike puts a smile on my face like my softail does.

Best all-round bike: Fast, Fun, Reliable, Economical...possible to do 1000 mile days and then go out and blast the twisties....

1982 Yamaha Turbo

Bike most likely to garner a suspended license: Torque up the wazoo, solid yet nimble....90 feels like 50.....

955i Daytona

Best Impression of a Mistress: Exciting, easy on the eyes, and fun to ride......and makes you worry when others are looking at her....

2000 Bimota DB4


Best Raw Sportbike: Period .... R1

That description of the DB4 is pretty damn accurate!

I really like my Mille. Handles great, has about as good a suspension as you can get, has the high torque of a twin, and plenty enough HP for me.

I've only owned 2 bikes as well, EX 250 and my current bike a ZX6RR. I sold the 250 in May, but even still I like my 600 better. Especially since August, when I paid it off. I've ridden other bikes - mostly Kawasaki's and I like them, just not as well as mine. The only other one I rode just a mile to the gas station was a friend's BMW. It was nice. I'm to ride it again as he lost a bet, this time will be a longer ride. But I don't see myself ever wanting his bike.

My first new off the showroom floor bike was a 76 KH400 and for a lot of sentimental reasons it is a favorite. While one of my least ridden my favorite SPORT bike remains my 05 999 Ridden. Ridden far more often and perhaps by definitions used here, not a pure Sport bike My busa with the turbo certainly brightens my daily commute
