What's been your favorite bike?

If I didn't love my current bike(s) I wouldn't own them. It's that simple.

damn I knew you liked the TLR but figured it was more getting back to the V-Twin from the Honda... nice to see you're back on a bike you truly enjoy.

for me... well I've only owned my ZZR... loved that bike... but there were definite times I'd have rather had something else... mainly when I forgot to reset the pet cock

My 92 was a great bike. Really solid, strong engine and well sorted suspension. The old school GSXR's were great bikes.

Love the buell...

08 GSXR1000 was nice too, but only on that one for about 20 min.

Owned three bikes.

'04 R6- put 19.5k miles on it, zero track days.
'06 R6- put a little over 12k on it, including 7 track days.
'09 R6- got a bit over 2400 and waiting to take it to the track.

I gotta say that the '09 is the truth. It's better handling than my '06 and there's more grunt down low now. The powerband feels like it pulls more, too. Can't wait to track it next year.

I've owned over 20 bikes. My favorite street and dirt bikes are the ones I own now, an '07 KTM Super Duke and an '07 KTM 300 XC-W.

I've only had one bike, my 06 ducati monster 900. I truly love this bike and have no plans to upgrade anytime soon.

Well, I've never sold a motorcycle, so that should tell you something.

Of the three, though, I probably like my 2004 636 the best. It's just a great-feeling bike. I do love the grunt of the GSXR1100 and the comfort of the ZZR, though.
