First bike was a Honda 50.

I've had a Triumph 650, a Matchless 650, 2 BMWs, a DOHC Honda 450 and a SOHC 750, as well as a full-race Yoshimura equipped Suzuki 750 that beat everything I ever raced against.

But my favorite bike which I had far more fun on than anything else was a . . . . .

Honda 400 automatic.

I currently own my "dream bike", a 1955 BMW 50/2. No front end dive when braking, no rear end dip when accelerating, both exhaust valves are into the wind, perfect mechanical balance, art deco styling, magneto powered ignition means the battery can be flat dead and it will still start and run well.

Now, if the helmet law would go away I could ride again.

First; 1970 CT70 Honda Mini Trail. Green 4 spd model.

First full size; 1972 SL125 Honda.

Worst; Man... I guess a 1974 YZ360 Yamaha, the model was great, the one I had was more worn out than I had bargained for. No fault of the bike, I just made a bad decision.

Best; In my heart: 1976 YZ250 Yamaha. Lots of good memories with that one. In reality: 1999 KTM300 EXC. Those 50mm WP forks were some of the best I've ever used! Great bike.

Most interesting; 2002 & 2003 Cannondale E440R & X440R. These bikes have kept me on my toes and made me learn more things about fuel injection, fuel managment and mapping than I ever dreamed of. Once dialed in these puppies are sweet, getting there requires the patience of Jobe.

First bike was an MZ ETZ125. Had the best time on that, even though it got knicked after only 2,000 miles. Incidentally, it was probably the worst bike. On second thoughts, they have all been great but for different reasons. Best bike I ever had a was a Honda Fireblade. Man, I regret getting rid of that. Worst bike for changing gear was a Yamaha Fazer 600 - sometimes made a real bad sound when changing from 1st - 2nd, when it went in!

My first bike was a 71 Yamaha 60. My brother and I modified it to race flat track.

The worst bike I ever had was a 81 Yamaha 360. I worked on it all the time.

Since that bike, I've only bought Honda. Hondas are the most dependable motorcycles there are. Good Question.

My first and favorite was a Yamaha RZ350 Kenny Roberts Special. That 2-stroke motor would just pull forever and it was always fun to leave a Fathead on a Fatboy coughing in my oil-injected dust. The worst bike was a either a knock-off custom Harley or a Yamaha Turbo.

First bike was a honda c50 cub moped!! S41T really but great when you are 8 yrs old! First road legal was a Honda CG125 which is still on the road with my mates son!!!! Worst bike was a Suzi GT380 which enjoyed making me shat me self at every opportunity! 2 strokes are a bugger when you get the carbs set up wrong. 18 yrs old and and no sense of set up!! Sold it for an XS650......... Oh the silliness of youth!
Best bike? My bootiful Yoshimura CB500/4 (genuine) Phil Read Replica. As someone else posted earlier, 4 wheeled git took us out. I was OK but a piece of biking history was just a bit of written off paperwork on a insurance brokers workload.
Never forgive, always get even.

Edit: Just re-read and saw somebody had a GP100! Cool!! Mine was blue. Did you cut down your baffles!!!!! C'mon, we all did!!

My first was also a FS1E, classic yellow Yam, got 55 mph out of her!
Ridden and owned 22 bikes since.......
Everything except an Italian, although road tested a couple of Ducatis.
The modern Triumphs are good all rounders.
Probably most useful bike so far is a Triumph Tiger 900.
That bike does everything you need from a bike and that little bit more!
Stay upright, ride safe.........

First bike was a K plate Yamaha Diversion 600N. A I've only had two bikes in ten years it was also my worst. Now got a very reliable 600 Bandit (hence the username).
