Easy.

Yamaha DT125 (1 Year) Forget what year
01 Honda Hornet 600 (Bought new traded for below)
02 Honda VTR1000 (Bought new still got it)

Next bike? Hopefully won't have to worry about that for a few years yet. Love the 'Storm, only downside is poor range. Just started a new job and will have to fill up every day when commuting!

Whats the tank range, it should get 100 miles on motorways journeys , I know when I had the last one it was pretty bad round town.

Haven't owned a lot myself, if i hadn't spent so much on the storm i would have probably bought a blade too

Suzuki RM250 2000 model

Honda CRF450 2004 model

Honda Firestorm 2000 model

Honda Superdream 1978 (standby bike while mine was off the road, made 261 quid on it when i sold it on ebay selling it for 461 not bad for a total rotter)

Honda RR3 CBR954 Blade - Borrowed for some time and still used as back up bike

GAS GAS EC 300 2004 model

Suzuki GSXR 1000 k6

SS50—I should have taken note… chocolate covers and bolts made from cheese
Fantic Caballero—still have this one (in bits)—the original FS1E and AP annihilator—supreme classic, up there and perhaps beyond the Tiger Cross
Z650—one of the prettiest bikes made…just love the lines
Z750—unremarkable
KMX125—the best fun on two wheels, surprisingly…would buy a 200 version in a heartbeat, if one should come my way.
900 Sprint—fun but too big, loved the UJ… made me proud
1200 Trophy—just too big… lots to like and most capable but dull
955i Tiger—hmm great bike but ugly… love the triple howl but not built for filtering
Storm—work horse and very capable but greedy…perhaps to be pensioned off soon but retained.

Thats it, 14 years of my biking history-reads as a logical sort of step up each time doesnt it? with the XS after the FZR because it was getting silly and I needed to slow down!
my favorite, is the one I had most fun on.. The VFR400.. Infact alot of the traits I liked about that are also in the 'storm-fast, predictable, comfy, and sounds great.

he,s right about the cabballero, id forgotten about them. my mate had one in 1975 and it was easily the quickest "50" at the time. i think his little brother got it off him and he went on to be the 1980 british grasstrack champion! dont know if the little frantic helped him!

2001 (51 plate) Honda VTR1000r in Teal blue. Totally standard (apart from braided brake hoses) with LOADS of history and only 23k on the clock. It's really rather nice! but now I've tried it I think I need to try an SP1 or SP2! So if you know anyone that's looking for a VTR1000

'88 Kawasaki GPX250R-ii

'99 Honda VTR1000F (Registered as 2000 but Orange)

This lot since 2006

Not a very long list for me..
After a few Puch Maxi's and a Gilera Citta illegally and an Aprilia RS50 I went for my driving license.
First bike a `89 Suzuki GS 500e (still owned)
The second now my `97 Storm.

You don't need a prize as your "special" enough :-)
