Anyone got a bike they still miss for good or bad reasons?

She was called Christine, she was blonde, slim and had massive boobs. I gave her the boot because she was high maintenance. She ended marrying a traffic cop and had 2 kids.
I always hoped she had got fat and her knockers were hanging by her knees, which isn't the case after seeing a couple of years back.
Should have asked for a go for old times sake.

Two, both Triumphs.
1994 Daytona Super III; freight-train solid in a straight line, all day comfy and a real head-turner at meets. Stupidly sold when I got a cracking deal on a pre-reg Bandit 12 after Motorcycle City went tits-up and I couldn't afford to keep both.
1993 Trident 750; British Racing Green, immaculate, low-mileage, loads of fun. Sold after an accident messed my head up and I gave up biking forever (well, for 4 months anyway).
All the rest have just been fillers...

2008 mk1 Versys. No particular reason and certainly not the best spec bike and by far the prettiest. It was the bike that got me riding after a massive off and it just did everything well without being great at anything. Had it 18 months and then spent money on much more exotic bikes. Tried going back to a mk2 but it didnt have the same buzz. It was right bike, right time. Toured, scratched and bimbled and cost very little. Ideal.
My black/black/black 2007 R1, bought still crated and brand new in 2011. That was going to be my last ever sportsbike and I was going to keep it forever - some of it was paid for with money my grandmother left me, so there's some sentimental value there.
Stolen last year, and although I got a very good payout on it the bike was irreplaceable as effectively it was much newer than an actual 2007 bike and I didn't want a used one (they're also hard to find in an unmolested state).
Replaced with a new MV F4 which although undoubtedly a better bike, it's not my R1.
