I rather liked reading about other peoples previous bikes, so I would like to start that topic again...
I have been riding since I was twelve. A friend and I assembled a Bultaco dirt-bike from salvage parts. I bought my first street bike when I was sixteen. It was a 1971(?) Honda CB125. I bought it at a yard sale! Very slow, but a fun bike none the less.
I can't remember all of them and only have pictures of a few, but:
1974 Honda CB360T
1975 Honda CB750
1979 Kawasaki KZ900
1980 Yamaha XS-1100 Special
1981 Kawasaki GPz550 (my first sportbike - whohoo! )
1983 Kawasaki GPz1100 (morphed into dragbike)
1985 Kawasaki ZX900 Ninja (2 - totalled one at track)
1986 Yamaha V-Max (fun for puttering - gave to brother)
1986 Yamaha FZ-600 (wife-trainer, track bike)
1988 Yamaha FZR-1000 (traded for 90)
1990 Yamaha FZR-1000 (spun a bearing, moved parts to 92)
1992 Yamaha FZR-1000 (great bike - modded extensively)
1992 Kawasaki ZX-250 Ninja (starter bike for kids - still have)
1992 Honda GL1500 (boring)
1996 Kawasaki ZX-11 Ninja (didn't like handling)
1999 Honda CBR1100XX (racked up the miles, traded for 01)
2001 Honda CBR1100XX (great bike - shoulda kept it)
2001 Suzuki GSX1300R (still have - short and med range blast)
2002 BMW K1200RS (still have - med to long rides)
2002 Yamaha YZF-R6 (still have - twisties, track days)
My crappy little website has some pictures of some of the bikes:
