What bikes have you bought twice?
GSXR 750. 86 and 07 loved them both!

Had an early '90s Honda Nighthawk 750 with 4-2 exhaust. I cut down the snooters and it sounded great. Got pushed off it at a light when an old lady decided she wanted to be in my lane and came right into me. Bike declared total loss. I came out of it with no injury, just a bruise on my left hip where I contacted the pavement. Found another one, different year that someone had put a Yoshi exhaust on it. Much too loud, rewrapped that thing four times before got it tamed enough so it was fun to ride, but sold it to buy something else.

Angry So not like unconscious drivers.

I had a standard stick shift, cellphone talkin', VW Jetta driver drift backward into my '84 Honda Nighthawk 750 front while on a traffic congested rising freeway ramp in Toronto. Very careless driver.

I like to change bikes and so buying two of the same has really only happened once. Many years ago I found a beautiful Honda Z50 from 1972 which was just like my very first bike. When I went in to the shop, they also had a second Z50 that was a more recent model. I ended up buying both, so I guess it sort of qualifies as buying the same bike twice...

Beautiful Wagonpeddler. Very nice specimen you had.

For some reason in my eyes it "looks heavier" than the CB1100. Maybe it is the illusion of "more lines" and colour boundaries - dunno. Nevertheless, it brings back memories of long ago.

Two Honda CRF250F's, two Suzuki DL650 V-strom's and two 2013 CB1100's.

In 1965, I bought my first new motorcycle - Yamaha's 250cc YDS3, in red...

Last year, I spotted the IDENTICAL 'bike - a  Yamaha YDS3, in blue and also a 1965 model!  I shipped it in from Colorado...

So, two 1965 Yamaha YDS3s,  in the space of 56 years!
