For me it's the old 916 race bike. Bought in primer grey without headlight, transformed into a Bostrom rep stars and stripes paintwork. Then into a standard red 916. Finally ending it's life with me as a pure race bike.

I spent somewhere ITRO of £8000 on upgrades on the bike, blueprinted and gasflowed engine, lightweight wheels, STM slipper clutch, Ohlins rear and forks, lovely race exhaust, carbon here there and everywhere.

Was a stunning machine... made a mistake selling that one.
 
best bike husqvarna te 250 realy good enduro bike. best road bike gsxr 750 but i hope my tuono is gona be no1 wont know till the snow and ice go ive not rode it yet. bring on the sunshine!!
 
Probably my Yamaha YR5. Got it after my Triumph 3TA, and what a difference. This bike was nimble, quick and showed bigger bikes the way home. Did the TT in 76 with a few lads, 1 had a Triumph Trident, and on mad sunday was up his chuff from Ramsey until the creg where I took him on a tight line. Loved the bike.

Other than the Ape's I've owned ,all ace handlers and trouble free bikes me favourite has to be the






























Triumph TT600 I had, fookin sublime handling and brakes.
 
My '96 Harley 1200 Sportster. Technically crude and vibrated like a paint shaker, but I put over 30,000 miles on it and loved every one of them. Like my '07 Tuono, it was rude crude and socially unacceptable. The Tuono is third right now, below the 2000 Triumph Sprint ST.
 
i adored this one ....

Thought about this for a while.

I have had a few that have been really good, at the time.

But I think the Tuoldo is the only one I have ever had mixed feelings about even after the sale.

liked all me bikes or i wouldnt of bought em but the one i regret selling is my 2000 zx9r:bawling was a bit lardy but i like big bikes as it didnt make me bum look big :lol joking aside it was as smooth as only carbs can be and the noise from a full akro and the kawasaki growl from the airbox used to make me smile like a ****... sadly missed:drool
 
Only had the Tuono a week and done only 40 miles so too early to say. CBR600 a good bike but fav up to now was the Busa, bit big and lardy but oh boy when it started to go things just sort of reversed towards u.
