Your Last Bike Before the CB?

[dsinned_imp]

Of the 30 or so bikes I've owned over the last 50+ years (age 16 to 67), mostly Japanese and the majority Hondas at that, there has been many I have enjoyed A LOT. But, perhaps the most memorable was my '67 Honda CB77 "305" Super Hawk. I bought it brand new around age 18.

One of the "last" bikes I thoroughly enjoyed, while I was still young enough to endure a sport bike, was an all black '04 Triumph Daytona 955i SE. That thing made the most awesome sound under hard acceleration. So much it gave me goose bumps. Only 147HP, but a true thoroughbred!

A close second to that sounded like a Ferrari was my '79 Honda CBX.

All the bikes I've owned in their own ways were quite special, some just more than others.
