A Honda CB500X, 2018. First bike and I love that little thing, but I am looking forward to upgrading to something a bit bigger and more off road capable in a few years.

2004 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, blue and silver. Bought it new, it was my first bike, and 19 years later it's still as fast and reliable as it ever was. My wife and I love to go for rides together on it. Nothing else gives us quite the same sense of freedom.
Your first bike was a busa and you survived?
Yes, took the rider course and the experienced rider course, and respected the machine. Having more power can actually make for a smoother and safer ride. No need for 9k RPMs to get moving. It's responsive in any gear, at any speed. It's a lot less twitchy, more predictable than smaller bikes.
2022 Triumph Tiger sport 660 and a 2014 KTM super duke 1290
I have a 2013 Sym Wolf Classic. It’s not pretty, and it’s not fast, but I love it so much for zipping around the city
2021 Z650 💚
Honda CT110. The King of bikes. Bow before the mighty postie bike!
Himalayan. Goes everywhere I want it to, comfortably. It’s a fun bike.
We have six here currently.
79 Harley Sportster, 09 Harley Electra Glide, 18 Road Glide, 2 78 Honda Gl1000 , And most of the pieces of a 73 Honda CB750 Chopper
I might have a slight problem

It's my first bike and I love it
I think the first bike will always have a special place in you heart. It’s a cruiser bike right?
Correct. Low HP, high torque, relaxed seating position. It's a bit heavy, but the center of gravity is low enough that it's manageable. I've nearly dropped it twice, but I've managed to keep it off the ground.
Blackbird (2007 Honda CBR 1100 XX). Had it from a year old and can't find anything as good to replace it! Waiting for Mr Honda to come out with a proper replacement, not that VFR 12 letdown.
Heavily customized and plated 98 XR600R. Easy to throw around, plenty of power, tons of torque. It is probably my 20th motorcycle. I've had every single kind of motorcycle that they make, but I prefer dual sports.
'10 1250 bandit naked and '16 s1000r. I need to sell the BMW and replace it with something for track, maybe a GSXR750
