Your favorite bike 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
This seems to be a day of asking opinions, so here's one for you guys. Except for the Roadie (my current love), what do you consider to be your favorite bike up to now? Mine would be the Yamaha '82 XV920. That sucker was black and all business. I still miss it. Had to sell it when I lost my job years ago and had to make a house payment.

Re:Your favorite bike 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Toss up, My 1979 Suzuki GSL 650 low rider was a great bike. I would be willing to bet someone up in Wisconsin is still riding it around. 6 speed tranny with gear indicator, 4 cylinder 4 stroke. It was a bike ahead of its time. 2000 Honda Shadow Sabre... it was an 1100. Great bike... Great Bike! Just needed a little more bottom end and I would still have it. I like the Road star also. It a fun bike to ride.

Re:Your favorite bike 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
My 1999 Suzuki LC 1500. I bought it new, sold it 2 years later when I got laid off from my job, I loved that bike. At the time one of my buddies was riding a 2000 Road Star and I always loved his bike, so when I had the chance to buy another bike I grab me a Roadie. He still has his Roadie, it has about 30K miles on it.

Way to much fun, and only too fast when you want it to be.

Re:Your favorite bike 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Man this liking picking the best, oh, can't say that!
I love the Roadie and I had a 78 Yamaha XS750 that was superb but my hat goes off to my 1974 Honda 450. I commuted on it, toured much of the Western US over about 6 years and all I did was tuneups and oil changes. Like always I wanted something bigger and faster. Wish I had it back for around town. Amazing bike for the time and VERY amazing when they first got here in the mid-sixties, DOHC vertical twins were unheard of.

Re:Your favorite bike 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Maybe my favorite all time bike was the first one. A !966 CL77 305 Honda scrambler. Rode it to work, rode it in the dirt (actually thought the thing was a dirt bike) and took the lights off and raced it on dirt tracks on the week end. The bike seemed to fix its self overnight when minor things happened. At the time couldn't imagine wanting a faster or bigger bike, wow, how things change.
