Curious what bikes other people have? Personally I have a Honda CB400N from 1983. Been riding it around for 4 years or so ever since I got my license. It’s a wonderful bike, but a bit cramped for all the touring I do with it (I’m quite tall). Picture

    A Honda CB500X, 2018. First bike and I love that little thing, but I am looking forward to upgrading to something a bit bigger and more off road capable in a few years.

    2004 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, blue and silver. Bought it new, it was my first bike, and 19 years later it’s still as fast and reliable as it ever was. My wife and I love to go for rides together on it. Nothing else gives us quite the same sense of freedom.

      I think the first bike will always have a special place in you heart. It’s a cruiser bike right?

        Correct. Low HP, high torque, relaxed seating position. It’s a bit heavy, but the center of gravity is low enough that it’s manageable. I’ve nearly dropped it twice, but I’ve managed to keep it off the ground.

      I saw a video once of a guy riding Sydney-London on one of those. Pretty impressive trip.

    I have a 2013 Sym Wolf Classic. It’s not pretty, and it’s not fast, but I love it so much for zipping around the city

    Blackbird (2007 Honda CBR 1100 XX). Had it from a year old and can’t find anything as good to replace it! Waiting for Mr Honda to come out with a proper replacement, not that VFR 12 letdown.

    Heavily customized and plated 98 XR600R. Easy to throw around, plenty of power, tons of torque. It is probably my 20th motorcycle. I’ve had every single kind of motorcycle that they make, but I prefer dual sports.
