So which one was your favourite? And do you still have any of them?

Ferkin 'ell... couldn't you settle down with one (or two?)... :laugh:

Completely different for me, in forty years have owned just eight bikes.

C50
CD 175
CB 550Fll
VF 500Fll
GPZ600R
ZZR 600E1 + DR350
R1150GS (current bike). just 52,000 miles.

All kept for a looong time, other than the first two, all done over 60,000 miles, the ZZR was sold with 97,000 miles on and still ran like a good'n. No dispatching, just commuting and holidays etc.

Two bikes stand out that I enjoyed one was the TDM850 and the Capo. Over here we don't have any letters in our reg numbers and the one I had on it was 749 which was its cc. The Capo with its Mille engine although detuned was brill. I had fitted a pair of Remus titaniums to it and it sounded the dogs :) The TDM850 I still see around from time to time the Capo was sold to a guy from Poland who came over and collected.

Had to move up as soon as I could and could never keep them long. It got worse when I moved to guernsey and bad since around 05 which was the Varadero. Anyone have one of those in 05 when we did the first get together up in Cumbria. Hell, it rained so much the water was running down the hills onHardknott Pass faster than we were going down them on the bikes.
