I had a black/silver 2007 Lifan TMS 200 "Honda cloned" sport bike. It taught me a lot about safety/handling but otherwise it was an absolute mechanical nightmare . There was hardly a day that went by that something didn't go wrong with the bike.

my list isn't quite as exotic or long as i'd like, but here you go:

my first bike was a 2002 (or was it an '03?) yamaha yzf600r. great 600 to learn on (if there is such a thing). it was fast, but controllable. loved that bike and took it on a few great trips. I commuted to work on this bike everyday for 3 years with no problems. everyday that i rode to work and didn't get hit by a car i felt like i got that much closer to getting laid out. eventually i sold it and decided i'd be a track only rider.


after riding the yzf for about a year, i decided i wanted to live my lifelong dream to race and bought a 1989 yamaha ysr50 to race. i don't think a better bike exists to learn how to roadrace than a ysr.


eventualy i decided to fulfill another life long dream and i picked up a dirtbike. after lots of research and watching craigslist, i picked up a 2003 KDX220r for trail riding. i still have this bike today and its lots of fun. i'd like to race it, but i have a hard time getting enough practice on it. i tried one enduro last year and thought i was going to die. my goal was to finish the race, but i didn't make it. the heat got to me.


after a couple of seasons of racign the ysr, i upgraded it to a "yxr100" by putting honda xr100 dirtbike motor in it. it was a blast to ride. note the undertail exhaust i decided i better sell this bike before it became totally obsolete and used the money to buy the dr350 below.


when the gas prices got up to around $4 a gallon last summer, i started doing the math and came up with a good excuse to buy/build a commuter bike. initially i picked up a suzuki DR350 that was in creates for $300. it was suppose to be a complete bike, but once i started putting it together i realised there was way to many broken and missing pieces than i wanted to deal with. so i found another cheap 1990 DR that was a runner for $1000. out of the two bikes i pieced together what i was looking for and got it plated. if you've never experienced riding a dirtbike around on the streets you're missing out. it doesn't have the top speed thrills that the 600 had, but its way more fun. whats this? traffic? pssh... i'll just jump this median, wheelie through that ditch and cut through that parkinglot over there.


since i sold the yxr, we needed another track bike. i raced on other peoples teams for about a year doing endurance races before we decided we wanted to pick up a new generation 250 for track use. my brother had a ninja650 that he was riding on the track, and my dad had just bought a versys. we decided we liked them enough to all pitch in and build up a 250 for the 2009 season. the body work is at the painters right now, and the bike is at the tuners, so all i have is this before pict:

Living in Charlottesville, VA . About 90 miles south of Wash DC and about 60 miles west of Richmond. Great place to live other than taxes. I'm 20 miles from the mountains along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah Nat Park which is a great place to ride and 2.5 hrs to the beach. Lots to do and not too far from anything. I came here from western Kansas which was actually nice place to live, but just so far from everything.

wow, One thing about this forum would seem that almost everyone here who has a Ninja 250R has come from other bigger "badder" bikes!

Like Jon (Broom), my list isn't big or crazy either.

1991 CBR600F2
2000 CBR600F4
2008 Ninja 250R
1992 CBR250RR
2001 CBR600F4i

and in that order.

Sailariel - bet you wish you still had the that square four, eh? Be worth a fortune right now....

Some awesome bikes in these lists! Is it just me, or did bike designs really kind of stagnate over the late 70's through early 90's...

My list, I started riding 6 years ago:

1.) 1996 Kawasaki Eliminator ZL-600B2
2.) 1984 Honda Interceptor VF1000F
3.) 1982 Honda Ascot FT500

Currently own:
4.) 1984 Honda Ascot VT500FT
5.) 1979 Yamaha XS650
6.) 1976 Honda CB360T
7.) 2008 Kawasaki 250R

Why does it seem I'm forgetting one?

What other bikes do you own?

I'll start:

This is my 2002 Honda XR200r. I have it set up for adventuring, so I can take it out on camping trips. I also made it street legal using a Baja Designs enduro kit.

1996 Suzuki Bandit 600-(1997-99)
1996 Honda Rebel(1997-99)-my least favorite bike
1999 Suzuki DR650(1999-2003)I rode it off road about 2 times-just used it for a street bike
1999 Suzuki SV650(2000-03)-1st water cooled bike, and one of my favorites
2004 Kawi ZRX1200R(2004-06)-very fast, but heavy and boring in the twisties
2006 Kawi KLR650(2006-08)-why did I buy another dual sport? see DR650 comments

Motorcycles:
1999 ninja 250. First motorcycle, even though I was dying for a 600, my parents talked me down to either a 500 or 250, and the price was right. I'm 100000000% in love it. Keeping it till it dies

Bicycles:
2006 Raleigh Mojave 5.0. solid bike, but I cracked/bent the frame and wheels taking a jump off of a stair case (at about 20mph) that I thought was only 5-6 stairs and turned out to be like 20, couldn't stop in time, but I managed to stay on the pedals and got some sick air...

2008 Dawes Lightning 1000 - basic aluminum road bike. Perfect for me

have an order on a 2011 Giant Yukon FX, should be here and assembled by this weekend, then I can get back into trail riding. Vulture's Knob here I come!

Since my last post on here back in August last year I have added a '90 Honda PC800 and a 2000 Yamaha TW200.
This bike thing is a real sickness, but we all are sick and loving it.
