The 1992 Honda NR750 Oval Piston machine. This bike was and is a technical masterpiece. It has a 750cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled 4-stroke 32-valve V-4 (really V-2) that has two oval-shaped pistons and 4 connecting rods, and the best digital fuel injection system to date, when almost every bike was carbed. The fairings were carbon fiber, the triple clamps titanium, the wheels cast magnesium, and used 100% stainless steel and titanium nuts and bolts. No shortcuts, pure genuines. And it doesn't hurt that it is only a handful of Japanese bikes that have actually appreciated in value- it retailed for around $17,000 back in '92, and now you it's extremely hard to get one (because collectors hang onto them, only 200 or so were built) and you will pay at least $65,000 for a one in good condition. That's some serious appreciation for only 14 years!
I am also a big fan of the MV Augusta F41000R, designed by the same genious who penned the iconic Ducati 916. Has the latest generation radial valve 998cc DOHC, 4-stroke liquid-cooled in-line 4, makes gobs of torque and horsepower, has a strong midrange, single-sided swingarm, mag rims, sexy fairings, fully adjustable Italian-made suspension, only 1000 are going to be made, so much to love.
And the Ducati Desmosedici RR, which is coming out in 2007. Powered by a 987cc DOHC, liquid-cooled 4-stroke V-4 that pumps out over 210-bhp! Titanium/carbon fiber Termogoni exhaust, carbon fiber fairings, carbon fiber wheels, 0-60mph in an estimated 2.6 seconds and an estimated top speed of 206.7mph unrestricted, amazing. And only $70 grand!

Some people ride motorcycles – I ride a Harley. What makes a Harley so special? Well lots of things: the look, the sound, the feel, the quality, customization, the brotherhood. Nothing describes the feeling when you get on your scooter and ride. I guess what I am trying to say is “If I have to explain it, you wouldn’t understand.”

Don't have a favorite.
Out of the ones I don't have anymore, I'd like to have my 1979 Suzuki GS425L. Only year they made that particular model.
Became scarcer than hen's teeth around here because most got turned into hill climbers for the races. Lots of torque for a vertical twin.

My favorite motorcycle would have to be like my favorite car--a Japanese one so it's reliable and you'll have a more enjoyable time riding it. If you don't believe me that the Japanese ones are the best, go check out Consumer Reports-they're the only non-biased critics for anything because they don't sell advertising and therefore, don't need to kiss anybody's you-know-what.
