To keep it simple, I'll omit the 50cc bikes I had in the past. Now for all of them: Kawasaki ZX6R

Now that's the only proper bike I've ever owned...

2) Fastest bike that you've ever owned? Hayabusa

3) Slowest bike that you've ever owned? Honda MTX50 back in 1984, it struggled to do 30 and wasnt much better with a “racing” exhaust, reed valves and a home porting job. TS50ER’s flew by me in comparison!

6) Bike that you would have again in the blink of an eye? I had a new ZX9 E2 in 2003, fantastic road bike, which is where most of us ride..

7) Bike that you'd rip your eyes out over if you had to own again? CB100N…flat as a fart with a weeping oil leak from the head that I never cured..

8) Oldest bike you've ever owned? Late 1970’s TS185

9) Bike that you most regret getting rid of? My RG500 and most of my 2 strokes

10) Bike that caused you the most grief, but you loved anyway? I don’t love any bike that gives me grief!
