This HP2 was properly sorted with extras and I should’ve kept it....

Too many , but all of my RD350’s they were all just so much fun , VFR750F RC36!1996 model , such a great all rounder , do a track day on Saturday , 650km breakfast run on Sunday then leave on a 2 week your on the Monday and it did everything with aplomb and the sound on an an open pipe is symphonic , 650 Transalp just so comfortable and efficient , KDX200 , such a lekker bike , KX450F , scared the shut out of me , loved it , and every XR I have ever owned .
For quite a few years I was employed by dealers so had free use of plenty of bikes so there was a good few years that I didn’t need to own any of my my own bikes , but the last few years I have had a few .

All mine were equally good, but maybe my 1979 1000E Suzuki was the most equal amongst them

I would love my first ever bike back. Only for sentimental reasons. My ticket to freedom when I was 16.

Suzuki RG 50 gamma. 1984 I think.
I loved that bike.

When I saw the question the first one that popped in my head was the XT660 Z so I’ll stick to that

My Garelli Cross, my first (and for a veeeery long time to come only) new bike!
Like the pic, and after I put all the gofast goodies plus a discbrake on it got stolen and I never saw it again!
