    yamaha: fzr250, rz250rr (my favourite, but not practical - faster than fzr - faster than most 600's off the mark actually - excepting the pure sports bikes), xs250, trx850, fj1200
    honda: vtr250, spada, cb250, vfr750, vfr800, deauville
    suzuki: across, bandit 1200s, rf900r, gsx750f
    kawasaki: gpx750r, gpx250
    ktm offroad something... (forget what - rental bike one weekend)
    harley: sportster 800

    I am sure there are more... Exept for the yamaha's (these have or are owned by myself, father in law, or housemate) the rest were single test-rides of about 30 minutes - 1 hour so I hope you consider that actually riding (I am looking for a mid-bore sports tourer).

    Nice

    Hey guys,

    Nice bikes dudes, hahahah cool that you stuffed a cbr600, they are meant to be one of Hondas strongest bikes. They say that you can thrash them 24 hours a day and shouldnt have a problem. Are you my new best friend. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->:D:D:D:D:D:D

    The cbr 600 was a fairly nice bike to ride too... it's a shame the phone pole stepped out in front of me.. but it was getting old and worn out by then.. the only thing that was straight after i had finish with it was the back wheel.. funny that it was smooth when i got the bike and it was smooth again when i had finished

    Bikes Ridden/Still Own

    My first bike was a 1990 Kawasaki Zephyr 550 (inline 4 based off of the GPZ series). My second bike was a 1985 Ascot FT500 (lots of fun and ended up with lots of engine/suspension mods) - sold for money for school. This bike I rode all year round - no car. I then purchase a 1996 Ducati M900, tons of torque and plenty fast, I had my license suspended for 6 months for gross speeding (125mph in a 55). Sold the bike and really never looked back.

    Currently I own 4 motorcycles and my wife has one, but we are looking to get her a track bike (she had tons of fun at the last open track day).

    1991 NT650 - Street trim, basic suspension upgrades and exhaust - 90K on the odometer

    1988 NT650 - Track bike, full carbon gas tank and tailsection, F3 front end, 700cc engine kit, and hotter cams - 70hp bike

    1991 FZR250 - Soon to be a track bike if I can get parts for the broken carburetors.

    1988 NT650/RZ350 Hybrid - This has been my project for the past 1.5 years. Honda Frame and RZ350 engine, The motor is in the frame and the exhaust is almost done. I have to make a new gas tank and sub-frame/tailsection for the bike and it will be done. The bike should way in sub 300lbs with a 60hp motor. It will be a kick in the pants to ride. Target completion date is March 2005.
