What's been your favorite bike?

I've only owned 2 street bikes. A 1986 V65 Magna was my first ride in Aug of 98, and in Jan of 02 I got my VTX, I liked both bikes a lot, different rides though. I've done all the suspension upgrades and raising parts I can on the X and it's not fast enough in the turns for me anymore. My next bike will be an 08 FZ1 which I'm sure will become my favorite!

95' Ducati 900SP and my 92' FZR600 a close second. Neither did anything as well as the bike I have now, but they both had a lot of soul.
It seems that I usually gauge how much I loved a bike (or car) by how soon after it is gone before I wished I hadn't gotten rid of it.
FZR= 30 minutes, Ducati=2.5 minutes, 69' Plymouth GTX = 5 seconds.

my SV. It's light, flickable, and fun as hell. It isn't the fastest thing on the road but it does the job quite well.

Only owned four streetbikes... It's tough to say at this point... I LOVED my Buell, but the TLR is fucking cash money... For now, it's probably the Buell. Let me do some of the things I want to do to the TLR and it could realistically take that honor.
