damn I knew you liked the TLR but figured it was more getting back to the V-Twin from the Honda... nice to see you're back on a bike you truly enjoy.

for me... well I've only owned my ZZR... loved that bike... but there were definite times I'd have rather had something else... mainly when I forgot to reset the pet cock

Well I've only owned 2, but the one I have now has been a longtime object of lust. I just think the '04 to '06 R1's are among the most beautiful bikes ever to come out of Japan.

But I've also got a 'thing' for Nekkid bikes, and both the Speed Triple and the Street Triple make my heart go pitter patter (haven't owned either.... YET).

I'd have to say my Gpz-900r that I rocked before the ZX-11.

Might be because it was the only bike that I didn't have fix.
Could be that it was such a leap forward from 83 NightHawk I had before it.

I've only owned two, a 1992 GSXR 750 and my 2005 Buell XB12R. I've ridden many, GSXR 600's, 750's, TL1000, OTB's Bimota, etc...

By far my favorite is my XB. I love that bike...it's so much fun...and it looks awesome.

I've only had two bikes....the Ninja and the Hornet. There are things I love about both of them, but the Hornet was definitely a far superior bike and more to my taste.

The Ninja is a fantastic little bike, but I prefer a naked 4(or triple

) over that buzzy little thing.

Tie. I like my 1979 GS1000. It was my first four-stroke, my first superbike, and the first bike I bought new. I still enjoy riding it, so I must like it.

I also like my 1990 CBR1000. My first water-cooled bike, my first fully-faired bike, my first "Oh my God, this thing is fast" bike, and my second superbike. I must like it, since I decided to repair the cylinder head myself. Even though the bulk of the bike is in the garage, I never believed that so many other parts could take up one workbench, one stack of shelves, and part of a floor.

Between the 250 Rebel and the VFR I'll go with the VFR!

Owned three bikes.

'04 R6- put 19.5k miles on it, zero track days.
'06 R6- put a little over 12k on it, including 7 track days.
'09 R6- got a bit over 2400 and waiting to take it to the track.

I gotta say that the '09 is the truth. It's better handling than my '06 and there's more grunt down low now. The powerband feels like it pulls more, too. Can't wait to track it next year.
