I've had all of those. Nothing with >4 cylinders or a stereo though. Those are broadly getting into pretty niche territory.

Or a Ducati, or anything with a slipper clutch or quickshifter, Or traction control now I think about it. Broadly because I'm old / tight. And because I could learn all of yous on my auld twin shocker. :thumbup:

IL4 - although I rode a mates 400/4 with a sticking throttle to the sw custom & classic show many moons ago (bit like having cruise control & great fun)
Parallel twin
Triple
Ducati - although very tempted
Kawasaki
Anything British or American - think the only Brit bike I've ridden is a Brough 😁
