Similar to the rank the bikes you ride thread, I'd like to start one where everyone can list the bikes they have owned, with a short synopsis about the bike, for people like me who are always looking for the Holy Grail of bikes this would be very helpful, although I'm happy for now, lol

1973 Kawasaki ke100 enduro: first bike, 2 stroke, I was hooked, was 15
2002 Suzuki Drz 400s: bought it to get back into riding when I was 42!
Ended up being more fun on the street than the trails, fun, light, loved the dirt bike riding position, sold it for America
2004 Triumph America: first real pure street bike, green and silver, all that chrome, beautiful! Did the freak and re-jetted myself, miss it, sold it for Warrior
2006 Yamaha Warrior: 1700cc power cruiser! Wow, all that torque, first vtwin, sublime, sold it for M109
2008 Suzuki M109: great power, looked great in Orange! Did not handle as well as the Warrior, officially in my power cruiser phase......., sold it for Raider
2008 Yamaha Raider: 113 ci v-twin! handled very well, great cruiser, tons of power, looks are too funky for me......
Sold it to buy a house
2008 Harley Fatbob: absolutely love it! Handles amazing, more soul and character than all the other bikes put together except for the America of course! Still own it
2008 Kawasaki Versy: my first sport bike, amazing twin, love the power band, may get another 1 someday!
2008 Buell XBSTT: awesome 1200cc engine, best handling bike period, way too much heat output from motor in the summer, there are supposed to be fixes for this however. May get another 1 someday!
2007 Triumph Speedmaster: brilliant bike, put alot of miles on it, best bike ever along with the Fatbob, but lighter! Never should have sold it!!
2010 Honda Fury: chopper! Great engine, sublime, great sound with cobra swept exhaust, handles amazing for a chopper, plastic fenders, sold it for Speedmaster, may get another someday
2011 Triumph Speedmaster: fuel injected, love the red color, love the wheels, dropped to a 16 tooth front sprocket, so happy to have a Triumph again, I vow not to sell this one, lol

Currently own: the 2011 Speedy and the 2008 Fatbob, keepers

Future: scrambler, do y'all think it's too much like the speedy tho?
I want it for the riding position
Possibly another Buell Lightning or a Honda Fury or a Kawasaki Versys or the new 2012 Suzuki Vstrom 650 or Harley sportster 48



My best friend when I was growing up had a 70s KE125 with the carb on the side instead of behind the cyl. That was a fast bike. I had a DT100 at the time and couldn't come close to keeping up. Then we both had DT360s.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
