First bike when I was 19 was a 2004 Suzuki SV650S(sold)
Next was a 2005 Yamaha Zuma Sport Scooter(still have)
Next was a 2005 Honda 1000RR(sold)
Next was a 2002 GSXR600(sold)
Next was a 2009 Kaw Ninja 250R (still have, wife's first bike)
Next was a 2009 Buell XB12Scg(my wedding gift to myself)
Next was a 2011 HD Super Glide Custom(wanted something the wife and I could ride on together in comfort)

The Buell is my favorite, but I have loved every bike for what it was. The Honda 1000RR was so fast and they have electronic steering dampers on them that come on after a certain mph, can't remember exactly, but they work sooooo good over 80mph.
 
Started riding at 14 yo, so since 1971.

1971 Hodaka 100B+ enduro,
1972 Suzuki 185 Street/trail,
1974 Honda CB360 street,
1968 Triumph 500 Daytona street, looked like a baby bonnie, best looking bike I owned.
1973 Harley Davidson Sportster, big POS!
1975 Honda CB400F street, early sport bike, my favorite
1977 Honda CB750K street,
1981 Yamaha XT250 Enduro, owned for 26 years before selling
1979 Yamaha XS650 Street, another fun bike
1972 Hodaka 100B+ enduro, restored in 2006
2007 Harley Davidson Sportster, underpowered disappointment
1994 Honda XT600R converted to street, a bike I will never sell, fun on the back roads.
and a 2007 Buell XB12S Lightning
