I have lost count. Probably 250 or so.

First was an XL175, most recent was an ‘01 TM125EN.

Biggest (and most road oriented) was the 650 V-strom. It has been replaced with a KLR650, that I haven’t even tried to get running yet. ?

Current fleet is:

2019 Beta 200RR,

2013 Beta 300RR,

2002 GasGas 300EC,

2001 TM125,

1998 KDX200,

1996 WR200/YZ125 hybrid,

1992 KX125,

1991 KLR650C,

1990 KX200 (KDX200/KX125 hybrid),

1986 KX200.

Plus the kids’ bikes and El Wifeo’s bikes, and a second 1986 KX200 project bike.

Crazy bastard!

    I ride this 1979 XS750 triple , great bike and the 1995 XJ900 now , got a 1981 XS1100 that needs restoring.

    First bike Honda MTX125, when I lived in London early 90’s.

    Sold that for a Kawasaki AR125.

    Got my full license and bought a Suzuki DR350, stolen 8 months later.

    Then got my first proper road bike, I can still get into the jacket, not the pants!, LOL!!

    Kawasaki GPZ550 , this was a fun bike.

    I really wish I still had this beauty, 92 Kawasaki GPZ900R, bloody awesome bike!

    More recently and back in AUS,

    2018 Kawasaki KLR 650, THUMPER.

    and 2015 Suzuki DL650XT V-Strom.

    I still have the V Strom, much more comfortable at my age now. Oh the pain! Ha Ha.

      I see the GPZ 550 in silver!

      I reckon we only got red ones here, it looks ace!

      I rode one once , guy in bike shop said take it out while a tyre was going on my bike.

      Good fun!

          I'm pretty envious of some of your lists here.

          I've currently got what I like to refer to as 'the camry of mototcycles', specifically, a 2014 Honda CBR500RA.

          It'll serve me well as a restricted bike before I move on to something more interesting/fun once I have some more riding experience on the road.

          Brought this in from Chicago many tears ago as a 50th bday present to myself. Took it apart and restored it 9,200 miles from new , David silver oil line kit straight from pump to heads instead of via gearbox feed.

          The R got gear driven cams. Love the sound of the V 4.

          To old for the knees up style now , sold it to buy the XC60 T6 R Design (polestar tuned) , knees are waiting for both to be total knee replacement now , public systems a mess to self fund was over $45,000 and private refused to pay for it.

          You can see the 2 oil feed lines to the heads below the air vent in the fairing.

          My 1098S. Gorgeous thing to look at... a shit of a thing to ride for more than 30 minutes!!!

          The new exhaust looks superb and you feel it... sounds unreal too.

            Yep Ducatis , great bike to own , had 1981 MHR with the Nissan electrics that would drop out suddenly, bot top heavy.

            The new Dukes look amazing.

            Wouldn't say no to the tri coloured 851 if I was in my 30's ?

              The black and silver bike is the 900R, my GPZ550 was red like most were, although there were a lot of black ones in the UK at the time.

                  The Geelong Suzuki dealer also sold Ducati , had a MHR in the main window and a 750F1 Tri- Colour in the other window!

                      That would have been Pratt & Osborne back in the day, before Peter Stevens took over just about everything. Lol.

                          Donny Osborne raced TZ Yamaha at the time.

                          The Honda shop up the road from P&O shop the lad there raced too , he always played up going past the P&O shop , Honda VFR , once on back wheel up the hill through the lights , moccasins on , giving us the fingers in the shop window , EXCELLENT!!

                            76 dt100 yammy, 15 tc250 husky, 12 hyo gt650r, 20 ktm duke 390

                                They're loud.... super loud. The termis may sound slightly better but the look of these are superb.

                                  Triumph Thruxton Ace

                                  Harley Lowrider (FXLR)

                                  currently only own the Thruxton.

                                  should have 60,000km’s on it soon, bought in new in 2014

                                  once I finish my ute (ages away) I’ll be building another Harley, but a cheaper one this time that I can drop. Probably a dyna of some description, I like the more svelte frame although the M8 motor shits all over the twin cam from a massive height
