My 86 KX80. I was 15 and it was just such an amazing and powerful fun bike.. For motorcycle I'd have to say my previous 2013 Honda Fury that I customized myself.. 3x the looks at 1/3rd the price of a Harley I liked to say lol

A 2006 Honda 750 shadow,everyone thought it was a harley . Worst bike a harley 900 k model. Total junk never bought another harley again. Won't even ride one ever, they sound good but thats it.

My favorite of all time has to be my 1994 Honda V45 Magna! Sexy, comfortable and fast!

tknj99 · 02-19-2023, 10:48 AM

Oh yea! Had a Magna for 8 years and then another for a year at a later time.. awesome bike, but that carb clean - ugh :(

That Fury is awesome looking! Yeah, I did rebuild the Magna carbs once, that was a difficult experience for sure.

I send the wife in to get all five, of course!

Very nice Goldwing cruiser! My favorite street bike was my '99 BUBF Kaw 1500A.

Not because it's the best, or the worst. Just because it has meaning to you.

I love my VFR. I loved the 650 Nighthawk I had, the CL350, and a host of other classics before. The Goldwing just stands out that one step above. I couldn't tell you why.

Well, if you held a gun to my head, I suppose I would pick Frankenstein. Mostly because it's built, not bought. 94 Concours, 85 GPZ900R, 08 Concours 14, 99 ZRX1100, 02 Meanstreak, 05 Nomad, custom lights, custom exhaust, rear end by Ron Hornaday Jr.

My favorite bike is actually my current bike I own. The Kawasaki Vulcan S Cafe. I think this bike checks most of the boxes so far. Comfortable, handles the Twisties like a sports bike and more than enough power to keep me happy.

Hands Down it was my 1980 Yamaha XS 850 G Triple (Yes, Yamaha made a triple from 1976 -1981) , I could kick myself in the rear every time I think about it. A close second was my 1975 Suzuki GT 550 (triple cylinder 2 stroke) that I restored. I wound up selling that to a collector that had them in his Office building on display. I was pretty proud of the fact that I did a good enough job for someone like that to add it to a collection like that.

But my high school dream Street bike was a tri colour Honda CB400SF Hyper Vtec
