Love the pictures on this thread. Also this shows lots of experience amoung members on this list and its a compliment to the Kawi 250 that many owners have owned several big and small bikes yet appreciate the Ninjette.
My list is modest:
1962 Triumph Moutain Cub 250
1966 Triumph T100C 500
1968 Triumph T100C 500
1969 Triumph Bonneville 650
1970 Honda CBR 750
1980 Yamaha 650 Classic
1968 Triumph Daytona 500
1998 Moto Guzzi EV 1100 Favorite bike 120,000 miles Still Have
1999 Bandit 1200 moded and very mean
2008 Ninjette 250 Still have
2009 Yamaha FJR 1300 Still have.
The Ninjette is amoung my top 4 Favorites. (Guzzi, Bandit, FJR, Ninjette)

Started with a Yamaha RD 350 at around age 16. That one was a screamer.

Honda CB 550 Four.

around this time I put a lot of miles on a friend's Kawasaki KZ200.

Yamaha Seca 550 (another favorite; just good, all around bike)

Suzuki GS 550E (never warmed up to that one)

1982 Suzuki GS1100E (loved, loved, loved that bike).

****Stopped riding for about 12 years ****

1979 (?) BMW R80/7 (cool old airhead. Wish I still had it)

2004 BMW R1200GS (interesting, but just too tall)

2005 Yamaha FJR 1300 (didn't like; too heavy and engine heat was a killer)

2007 BMW F800S (still have this one; my favorite bike of them all)

2012 Kawasaki 250 Ninja (just bought it about a month ago)

I only have owned one bike thus far, which is obviously my first bike. It's my 2011 Ninja 250R SE. I've owned it since April 22nd, 2010.

Started on an '05 250 until I crashed it (just a short time after installing my Yosh exhaust, too):


Then purchased an '07 250 and made a few additions to it over the 2 years I owned it:


And then I got the '12 and have made a few additions in the few months I've owned it:

MOTM - Apr '13
What motorcycles have you owned/own/and want to own?

Whenever I get deep into a hobby, I find myself wanting to own everything there is in the hobby, or at least all the coolest stuff. When I got into guns, I had a list of guns, then all my money went into motorcycles, and now I have a list of motorcycles that I want to own So what's your motorcycle bucket list?

Owned
Age 20
- 2011 Black Ninja 250r, my one true love, died at 10 months, 13,537miles
- 2007 Red Ninja 250r, project bike, sold to my dad
Own
Age 21
- 2012 Ninja 650, 1,500 miles
Want
Age 21-22
- 2012-2013 Ninja 1000
Age 24-30
- Triumph Thruxton
- Black Ninja 250r
- Either a zx-6r or CBR600rr for racing
- Various project bikes to have fun with
- 2 Stroke Dirt Bike
Age 30+
- Honda Goldwing for touring, or possibly BMW, Alex's looks fun
- Replacement bike for my Ninja 1000 which will probably be beat to ****

Here's a template for you

Third summer of riding, have had three bikes to date. Started off with a 2007 CBR 125, put about 5000 kms on it, sold it for a couple hundred bucks more than I paid for it Second season had a 2009 red 250 ninja, put about 2000kms on it before I got hit from behind halfway through the summer and the bike was wrote off Picked up a 2009 Black 250 Ninja a couple of weeks after the accident, still have it and have put about 7000kms on it. What bike would I like to have in the future?.... no idea, still having way too much fun on my little bike to even think about another one

Geez… some of you guys go through motorcycles like Imelda Marcos goes through shoes.

1982 Suzuki GS650L
1989 Kawasaki EX500
2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R
2011 Suzuki GSX-R750

I've only ever had one bike, my baby ninja. Now I'm going to buy it's slightly elder sister the 300... My dad's had a lot of bikes in his time tho. He currently has a Royal Enfield Classic 500 and a Harley Davidson Fat Bob.

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.



OMFG, I am so jealous of you on that cbr250rr. that bike is the definition of a beautiful bike to me, a lot of the newer stuff looks nice with the angular themes but the 90s simplistic style just speaks to me, particularly the tail.
how big of a difference is the F4i from the F2 and F4? (this is in mind of it's ability as a track bike so carbs vs fi isn't a big issue due to no winter starts and I know the basics of carb work)


December 13th of 2012 at 19 years old I got an '01 Ninja 250 - I put about 8-9000 miles, the speedometer cable broke so I don't know for sure. bike went all over the place.
in may 2013 the engine blew due to an oil leak caused by an accident that I didn't catch (lesson to learn, if you crash a bike take the fairings off to make sure everything's good rather than assume it is because the bike didn't slam into anything other than the ground)
the next july I then got a 2013 ninja 300 and have been loving it since though I haven't been able to travel as much due to monthly payments and saving up for track days eating up my moto budget.
