What colour bike have you owned most of?

Post by Le_Fromage_Grande »

Today I realised I've owned more blue bikes than any other colour by quite a bit.

My first road legal bike was a red Suzuki GS125ES, my current bike (one of) is a red Ducati Multistrada 1200 GT

Considering the amount of Kawasakis i have owned only 1 was green the rest were either Red/Black or Blue/Black in the GPZ, GPz, or ZX range

Apart from the RD, only one other Yamaha and it was red (ish)

Couple of Yellow although i hate the colour...RD250LC and BMW R1150GS

Only Honda was a blue 250 Superdream

A few Black BMW's back in the R65/80/100 era as the colour choice was limited at the time ..... lob on a gun metal grey Multi and i think thats it

2 red.
1 blue
1 orange

I'm not exactly a profligate buyer of bikes - I tend to buy them and keep them for 10 years before buying another.

Red. Solid red in fact, I've not had much other than solid coloured bikes.

The 'green' I listed wasn't solid :D

Because of the two black mirrors, from the front it looked like a toad emerging from a pond.

White, I was trying to work it out in my head, but it is easier if I write it down. I also tend to keep bikes for a long time, now. The DT I inherited in about 1992, the Tuono I got new in 2004, the LC I had for about 20 years and the latest Le Mans I've had 5 or 6 years.

Mobylet field bike Bronze
Puch 3 speed yellow
RD250E white

Neval Minsk 125 red
Suzuki TS250ER yellow
Le Mans white
Suzuki X7 red
DT175MX black
RD250LC white
Tuono black
Le Mans red
1 bronze, 2 yellow, 4 white, 3 red, 2 black

Lol. I had one of those. All I could afford. Went to school on it sometimes, but kids would start it and leave it running as it didn't need a key :(
