The silliest 'bike' was a sand trike if that counts, built from a 1983 Suzuki GSX1100.
1500cc conversion, via increased bore and stroke. High compression, sporty cams, bigger carbs., better ignition, etc., etc.
150 bhp and huge paddle tyres for Glamis, California and it's amazing 'Competition Hill', a monstrous 1 in 2 hill climb.

Been riding 10 years and only owned 3 bikes.
A 2003 600 Fazer I had for the first 2 years and was a great bike. Commuted for the 2 years.
A 2008 Speed triple I bought from new. Had that just under 4 years.
a 2011 Fireblade. Had from New.
Next Year will be another bike. Unsure yet but a 1299, R1, BMW1000RR are on the list
The only reason it's not another Fireblade as that they have not give it a Big change since 2008 apart from minor tweeks and that's not enough to keep me from wanting to try other bikes.
