It’s time, how many bikes you owned ?

[scottyuk]

Only had four and been riding since 2008 .... and still got three of them. The only one to go was the CBR600F6. A trusty first bike, commuter, tourer and gave me an introduction to trackdays. Top all rounder!

'72 Yamaha R5 350 (still have - still not running)
'73 & '75 RD250s
'74 & '75 RD350s (still have the 1975 - running fine & looking damn fine if I may say so - who wants to buy it?)
'77 & '79 RD400s (still have the '79 Daytona - still not running)

76 'BMW R75/6 w/sidecar (still have - needs carbs sorted)

'97 Honda XR400R (still have - running)
'76? XL250 (sold many moons ago)
'05 CRF250R
'02 CRF450R (still have - running)
'86 TLR200 (still have - running but needs some sorting)
'83 XL600R (parked years ago and was running then - possibly sold soon)
Two '78 CB750Ks (still have both - one running, one complete bought for parts - considering for the next sidecar rig now)
'89 GB500 (still have - running)
'98 Valkyrie (still have - running)

'77 Harley XLCR 1000 (still have - running but needs loads of work)

'15 Suzuki V Strom 650XT (still have - running)

I had two or three incomplete CB750s and a couple extra lumps of various years - all single overhead cam models - gave them to a friend who builds rat bikes. Also part of an RD400 that was given to me that I've since given to someone in search of a project. I think the most I had at one time was 19.

No many compared to some! Wow. I only started riding about 8 years ago (I think)

Hornet - First bike!
Street Triple - First trackday on this
1050 Tiger - First big commuter, two up riding started with a trip to Wales
Daytona - Think I traded the Street Triple for this? Hated the riding position. Loved the front end feel. Did more track days. Lots of back pain.
KTM 1190 - Swapped the 1050 Tiger for this. Commuting work.
Tuono V4 - Track day bike. Crashed it.
BMW S1000XR - Traded the 1190 for this. Still have it. Commuter
MT07 - Short lived. Didn't like the rear shock.
Duke 690 - For the lolz
Duke 790 - Now a commuter with the S1000XR

Might have forgotten a couple.
