So you've had a little think about the bike you most regret selling. This
means you've gone though the list of bikes you've owned.
How many does it come to? Over how many years.
|
11 over 11 years:
SZR660, GSF1200, TRX850, CD200, R30, R1150GS, R65LS, CBR929RR-1,
RGV250, ZX-7R, Tiger 955i
it was only prior to the CD200 that I had only one bike at a time,
though. As mentioned in the other thread, I quite fancy having the SZR
back again.
|
At some point I will replace that head gasket, put it back together and
flog it, so will let you know. It's just that having 2 working bikes in
the garage has made it a very low priority.

FS1E-DX
AR125
RGV250L
RVF400RR
Ducati 748
Ducati 600SS
Ducati 620SS
So 7 over 18 years, although I've started to keep
them since the 748 rather than sell them! I fancy
a Hypermotard for next year, but will have to get
rid of something. Possibly.

I keep a note of them written on the flysheet(s) of 'Tuning for Speed',
but I needed to write smaller this evening to squeeze the latest two in
and still have a bit of room.
28 in 43 years.
A statistical bias towards Italian after a youthful diet of AMC and
Triumph. Gilera and Morini equal first for 'mode'.
|
|
Uhh... three in eight years. What do I lose?
|
|
Paging the regulars
Shall I post my list of bikes?
|
|
No binaries
|
Ok, I've had 129 bikes[1] in 29 1/2 years.
[1] I can list them, but I think I've left some out that I forgot.
|
|
|
5 in 11 years.
And three of those were Suzukis.
|
|
10 in 20 years
A100, MBX80 (new),CB400F,FZR600,CBR600Fv, '00-R1, '02-R1, CBR1100xx, '06-R1,
|
Ah, missed the XL125

|
CBR1000F
|
|
A measly five in 37 years:-
Three bikes from 1970 to 1990
Seventeen years on the same Suzuki GSX550EF (1990-2007)
Two weeks ago: Suzuki GSX750F
And before anyone asks, I passed my test when I was two!
|
12 in 35 years (of which 17 years bikeless due to illness or marital
reasons).
In order, C70, Jawa 634, pause, C50, C90, GT250A, V50II, RD350LCYPVS,
XT350, pause, XT350, GSX750F, pause, XT660R, GSF1200S. A
preponderance of Mr Yamaha's products, it seems.
|
|
I've totted up 42 bikes in 41 years. (I haven't counted the field cub I had
aged 15)
|
Lets see...
Peugeot 104, Bantam D7, CB250N, XS400SE, RD250LC, CB100N, R80ST, K100RS,
R80RT, R65RS, GT250, Melody Mini, RGV250K, F650, K75C/ST2 combo,
Sportster, Z750
So 17 in 28 years, of which I still have 4
|
|
Hum. A mere 17 in 28 years, which includes two 'crossers and an RS100
I bought to patch up and sell.
.
|
I counted bikes that were road registered plus one Yam crosser I used for MX
and enduro for a year (false plate for the enduros). I haven't counted
Janet's bikes (6) even though I rode them they weren't mine.
|
Beat this!
So far this year, two ZZR1100's One KTM 520SX, one Suzuki Hayabusa, one
Yamaha MT-03, one Fireblade, one BMW G650 Dakar, one BMW 1200GS & I'm
now looking for a Ducati 916-999
I may have a slight problem......
|
How come so many in a year?
|
I get bored easy & i always reckon that you can't have any opinion on
anything until you have tried it.
I'll be keeping the ZZR though, i do luv 'em.
