In fourth will be the two FZ-1s. I think the Honda ST 1300 has come up on the list to place ahead of the GS850G Suzuki, followed by the GS1100E Suzuki. Number 8 would be the GT 750 Suzuki, I think my BSA Rocket 3 will make # 9 on my list, just because it was the fastest british bike available when it came out, it had an awesome sound, and it's 3 cylinder engine was unique at the time, as were it's exhaust. I think final placing on my personal top 10 would be... Uhhh...can't make up my mind between my 750 Nighthawk, my 305 Honda Scrambler, my 73 TX 650 Yamaha or my 2003 Triumph Bonneville. Will have to ponder that awhile. I did buy (3) 650 Yamahas over the years. The only bike I have bought 3 of, but the Bonnie was a much much better motorcycle.The 750 Nighthawk was a reliable as an anvil workhorse but needed more hp and better brakes (just like the Bonneville). The 305 Scrambler was my first big bike and opened up the world to me. I guess if one were to ask of those 4 bikes, which one would I like to walk out and see in my garage right now, it would be the 305 Scrambler, so the venerable Honda CL 77 takes the last spot in my personal top 10 favorite motorcycles that I have owned.
That new ride must be something special Ferret. Have to admit that the more I look at the '14 DLX the more I like it. I may have to get one but I'll keep the '13. It's a sweetheart.
