the first was a Honda CD175 my mum made me buy it so i so i could get to work , crashed it everyday for a month(it was snowing) the best has to be the Hailwood rep always something going wrong with it spent thousands on it had to sell it to pay for a business venture or i would still have it

Only a few compared to you, motojohn, but mainly Dukes :0) Lambretta SX200...does this count? at least it's Italian! Honda CB360...the less said the better. Honda 750K3...Yoshi tuned engine - awesome in its day! Suzuki GT550...my first and last dabble with 2 strokes. Laverda Jota...built & handled like a tank - sounded gorgeous though! Suzuki GSXR750...my first race bike. Suzuki GSXR1100...my second race bike, but relegated to road use in the end. Ducati 916Bip...the addiction starter. Ducati 916SPS...the 'Keeper'. Ducati Multistrada 1100...jury's still out in this one for me. Ducati 998Bip..the Mrs demanded a two seater to keep the SPS company! Ducati 999S...nice, flexible motor. Ducati 1098S Tricolore...wish I'd never written it off Ducati 1098S Tricolore...wish I'd never sold it Ducati Hypermotard 1100S..a real hoot. Bianchi Camaleonte Uno...didn't say they had to be motorbikes :biggrin: Bianchi Infinito...ditto above. That's all folks!!!
It seems i have had the least ! CX500 custom GSXF1100f KLR650 GSXR750h Ducati 750ss I love the Duke, but they all had their charm at one point, but i do miss the GSXR as you just didn't see any others about ever!
Um, 4 (not bad though for 4 years riding!): - Honda CBR600 F2 - Kawasaki Ninja 600 J1 - Ducati Monster 620sie - Ducati 748 (current and my favourite!!)
I've only had 12 in 30 years of biking - Honda CD175 - didn't fall off that - Honda 400N Superdream - Ducati 500 Pantah - turned it into a 600 Pantah and fell off loads - Kawaski KR250 (while I was in Oz for a few months. I wanted to own a stroker once in my life. A hoot) - Ducati 906 Paso - Ducati 851 Never fell off that either - Ducati 907ie for touring once I'd sold the Pantah (before it killed me) - Ducati 916 - stolen before I could fall off - Ducati 916 - to replace the stolen one - Ducati 749 - wrote it off in a year (but not my fault for once) - Ducati 999s (the first version) - Ducati 999 (a black one - 2005 version) Still have. Haven't fallen off it yet. Two questions for Motojohn: (1) Are you 103 years old? Must work out at a bike every six months or so. (2) Why did you sell the Bimota DB2 (aka DB Worm)?
Can't find my list at the moment, but under 50, over 30.....but borrowed / ridden who knows how many more on top. AL
im 52 with the mentality of a 10 year old i love bikes started riding at 18 but didn't pass my car driving test till i was 30 so bikes were my main transport always had two on the road , as you used to be able to get a rider policy so you were cover for any bike you owend ,the DB2 was a big mistake bought it for 3k with a lot of work needed as it had been stood for 10 years sold it for 4.5k it was a total beast the motor out did the chassi sold it to a ex policeman who begged me to selli to him and he promissed not to sell it as he always wanted one 2 weeks later it was sold on ebay for 6.5k , live and learn

Out of all of them it's the humble MZ that gives me the fondest memories. I've not been without a bike since 1978.

Lucky you! I have had 7 only. The first, a Yamaha YDS3 being sold to finance 2nd year at Uni. God, that was back in 1969! No more bikes then until 50, family of small children, job commitments all excuses for running cars only for decades. Pestered wife so much that in the end, with kids past teens and at 50 she relented so from then; Suzuki SV650 to get started Honda CBR600 Rossi Rep, Nastro Azzuro BMW K1200R KTM Superduke Triumph Street Triple R Ducati MTS1200S - Current love affair, and takes care of my aching old joints, fast, comfy and handles, Heaven! ps for long lists like yours Excel spreadsheet is the answer then you can sort list order any way you like!
