How many bikes have you owned? No lying!!

[jstfkndi]

Started riding in 1999 and have had in the following order:

1. 1996 (I think that is the right year) Suzuki Bandit, Maroon, 600cc. *flew over handle bars and totalled*

2. 2001 Yamaha FZ1, Blue *sold stupid cheap to get a house *

3. 2001 Aprilia Flaco, Black *sold due to divorce and needing money *

4. 90's something KDX 200 *had at the same time as Falco and probably straw that broke the candles back for divorce. Sold to keep the peace*

5. 2004 Buell XB12R, Red, race kit <3 *lowsided one night in a turn...totalled *

6. 2006 Buell XB12R, Black, frankenbike rebuild *was rebuilding while I had the red one and became my primary bike briefly after accident and when I finished it. Did not hold a candle to the race kitted version, so sold it to pursue my current and favorite dream bike*

7. 2003 Aprilia Tuono, gunmetal grey *love this freaking bike!*

8. 1973 Honda Cb350F, black tank, green side and fork covers *going to be the death of me if I don't freaking ride it soon!. Been thinking "sell" more than once!*

This is an old thread I stumbled upon but thought it would be fun to bring back since we've got some new people and it's interesting to see where we've come from. My personal list

78 Honda XL250 - My first bike when I was 15, dad sold it out from under me because I was causing too much trouble.
2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R (Traded in on the 2005 ZX-6R)
2001 Aprilia Mille R (sold to Pay for the 2005 ZX-6R plus mods)
2005 ZX-6R (Stolen in February of 2007)
2004 Gas Gas FSE450SM (Awesome Supermoto, sold to pay for wedding)
2007 BMW F-650 (Good bike just not in love with it, sold it to buy Versys)
2008 Kawasaki Versys (Amazingly good bike, did everything well. Traded for Buell)
2009 Buell XB9SX (Keeping Forever)

I've ridden lots of stuff in between but these are the handful I've owned. Plan on buying a Ulysses within the next couple of years for traveling.

My wife has an 07 SV650, which is her first bike. I'm really considering selling my Buell to buy an SV for myself. She's reworked her forks already, and has a Penske shock coming soon, and a brake overhaul (SS lines, Vesrah pads and possibly GSXR calipers) is planned for this winter. I expect it will handle and brake on par with my firebolt after the work, and I really prefer the SV engine. If her chassis lives up to expectations, I'll be selling the Buell to buy an SV and some suspension parts next year. Erik did a fantastic job of pulling useable power out of the xb motors, but I still don't love it.
