As many as I can remember

82 suzuki gsx 250

84 Kawa z400j1

yamaha xj900 shaft drive

82 rd350

XJ650 seca

rg500

1980's gsx1100 sz katana

Gpz900r A4

suzuki gsx400x impulse (this was my shitty courier bike)

1991 CBR 1000 FM

1991 Gsxr1100m

1986 Gsxr1100

1992 cbr900 RRN

1996 Cbr 900 RRP

1999 Cbr1100 blackbird

2005 cbr1100xx blackbird

2005 suzuki GSF1200 bandit

2001 VTR1000 F

2002 ZX9R F1

And now my 2004 vtec vfr800

30+ years of riding right there

And maybe a couple more that i can't remember

And the Honda's always seem to be better finished and last better when exposed to the elements

Most of these bikes were ridden everyday rain / hail / shine 365 days a year as I see cars as toys for hot rodding and bikes as transport and the true budget speed machines

I will not live where I cannot ride everyday of the year not going to happen ever , Bikes are for riding not polishing and looking at for months at a time

My old 1996 rrp fireblade still runs well and now has over 400,000km's on the clock and only uses 5-600mls of oil every 5000km's

The guy who bought it has put 3 stators and 2 reg/recs on it since he bought it from me at 186,000km's

After typing this I now know why I am always broke

Here's my list. Started riding street in July '08, yes I have gone through a bit in the first 7 years. Definitely took me going back and forth before absolutely knowing I love STs. The only thing I would change is for the last 3 years I have only lived 5 miles from work, not a long enough commute.

'08 Suzuki S40-had it about 6 months

'03 Yamaha Vulcan- had about 2-3 months
'06 Suzuki Weestrom- 2yrs, 12k mi
'08 BMW F800ST- 2 yrs, 6k mi
'08 FJR- 5 months, 2500 mi
'13 Tiger 800- 18 months, 4600 mi
'06 VFR- 4months, 3k and going (hopefully until the day I stop riding)

​Only one at a time for me...

A VFR will grow on you. There have been multiple cases of seller's remorse reported by former owners. An '06, either black or white, is a keeper!
