What bikes have you bought twice?

The original post in this thread said:

MTC's purchase of his second CB1100 piqued my curiosity. Have you owned the same model motorcycle on two different occasions?

I have, five times:

2 K75's
2 SV650's
2 F800ST's
2 V7 Classic's
2 CB750's (both SOHC but 8 model years apart)

Anyone else?

Seems to me, on that basis the Ferret has it right. The 2010-2017 CB1100 is the same model. However, it does give rise to the question of when a model has so evolved that it becomes different. A bigger tank and an extra gear and new suspension doesn't cut it (at least, in my opinion) when the engine and the chassis are the same. But is the RS model sufficiently different?

Okay fellas, fair enough, I'll yield to The People. In my list, only the two F800ST's were the "same bike." The K75's were different model years and had slightly different features, as were the two SV650's, V7's, and CB750's.

So, if you owned two bikes with the same model number and nominal displacement, regardless of model year or configuration, it counts. Ferret and Sea, you're in. Someone with a '59 Sportster and an '89 Sportster is in. Even a '78 SOHC CB750F and an '81 DOHC CB750F (dramatically different bikes) is in, or an original '69 CB750KO and a '92 CB750 Nighthawk. But I'd suggest an ST1100 isn't the same as an ST1300. Peace and love.
