I would be interested to know what riders have owned over the years from mopeds scooters to full on Sports bikes.
I have been riding legally since 1978
Honda SS50 5 speed with a 90cc conversion (so not legal but quick for a moped)SHusss!
YB100
RD250
GT250
XS250
RD250LC
RD350lc
FT500
CB900 x2
VFR750
DR800
GPZ1100 most unreliable
GSX750F first trip camping with Son.
3X Triumph Tiger 955i's
DR650 (couldn't start the bloody thing)
XT1200 S10 new (nice bike no power though)
Another Tiger 955i (last model)
Fazer 1000 very quick ( new upgraded shock and amazing)
Xt660 Tenere (great bike punchy but seat like a plank should I go on)
Kawasaki Versys 1000 2012 (the ugly one, but I like it) best Bike I have ever owned a true all rounder.

I've not had that many since I tend to hang onto my bikes if I like them.Nothing flash either,I've always preferred practicality over style.
Honda XL125R (until I passed my test)
Yamaha XJ550 (the only bike I've written off)
Honda CBR600FJ (I loved that bike but had a big insurance claim on it then couldn't afford to insure it for a second year. :( )
Yamaha RD350LC (Quite pleased it was stolen.I got £350 more back on the insurance than I paid for it.Plus I seem to be the only person in the world who wasn't wooed by them.Just seemed gutless and slow after the CBR)
Suzuki GSX750ES(nice bike but knackered by the time I got it)
Suzuki GSXF650 (another underrated bike,but not much good for 2 up.)
Triumph Sprint ST 955 (kept for 9 years so must have liked it. :) )
Triumph Sprint 900 Executive (bought as a 2nd bike to my now commuter ST.Sprag clutch went but I had already realised I wasn't quite ready to slow down yet! )
Triumph Sprint RS (present bike,no intentions of changing it any time soon.)

C90 Cub
R80G/S (still have)
R100RT
C90 Cub
Beta Alp (for sale)
R1200GS (for sale)
R1150GS (still have)
R65 project
Also have custody of my dad's Dot TDHX.
Not a bad list I suppose.
