I've been riding about 5 years and had 5 bikes so far.
Every bike I've had that I've gotten rid of I really missed. I started on a Honda Shadow - that bike was the perfect beginner bike for me. Enough power that I didn't get bored - but simple enough that I did all my own work on it.
Then I got my Warrior - that is my all time favorite Cruiser. Tons of torque, I loved the look and power. I REALLY miss that thing...it redlined at 5k and you better be holding on when you hit the gas 'cause it would toss you right off the back.
Then I got my Z1000 - wow. That thing was mischief plan and simple. I looked and looked for another one after I wrecked my Z, but no luck. Never understood why these weren't more popular over here....
Then i picked up my VFR - best highway bike I've ever had, you can do 500 miles like it's nothing. And the sound is perfection IMO. Sounds like a NASCAR. Timeless looks also - can't beat a red VFR in my book.
Then my CB - honestly I'm just now really starting to LOVE this bike. I go thru a phase when I first get a bike where I regret picking it up and want to sell it. I almost sold my Z, my VFR and my CB believe it or not! Then I'll take that ONE ride. That ride where I'll connect with the bike and really fall in love. I did that today on my CB. The handling on this bike is excellent - and I hit some twisties today and fell in love. Between the torque, the quick turn-in, the sound and the riding position I'm hooked. I was hanging off the side of this thing with a grin from ear-to-ear!!!
My dream bikes - V-Max, CBX (if they redo this classic I will sell everything I own and buy one the day it comes out lol), the new Naked BMW can't recall the name, Harley Road Glide, and another Warrior lol.
