Royal Enfield bullet, these were doing intercontinental trips when the Honda C range was still an idea, BMW were just about riding across Europe, and the other Japanese manufacturers were just awakening.

I ride a fat boy and as a complete contrast I have an XB12r firebolt buell
The buell is simply - more smiles per mile - outrageous but a great safe machine makes an average rider look good  |

For me it has to be a Buell XB12r
It’s a marmite bike - I love it
Its design handling raw tourque and breaking is still astonishing today
Clever design to make a Harley Ferguson engine go like hell  |

"Honda cbr1100xx super Blackbird
Yep, had mine 14 years and it still out classes everything else on the road. "
People just don't realise how good they are !
Better than the suzuki that took the title away for fastest bike by 1mph although the Blackbird topped out first, handles better more comfortable etc (personal opinion dont come for me) |

"Like most folk probably the greatest machine ever has to be the first one I got to own & ride,
Nothing compares to that first love
Suzuki GP100"
I have to agree that first bike is the one that sticks and yep it was an old gp100.
Was away from bikes for many years but had numerous trial bikes as a kid then
ZXR 400 - could not fit it but wow it was crazy
RF600 - Very 80s styling heavy but munched the miles
10 year break
SV650s original carb version great fun and did almost everything.
10 year break
Son got his 125 I picked up an old Fazer 600 - I was not that into it at the time my mistake it's awesome fun and genuine all rounder and cheap as chips |

FS1E, (fizzy) my first bike, it gave freedom beyond getting the bus everywhere.. wish I still had it for nostalgia rather than riding it.
Many bikes followed but the fizzy was something special to a spotty faced teen back then. |
