I'm an old phart, so my first loves were a '68 Triumph Bonneville and a Harley Sportster.
Then I was in lust for a Guzzi Le Mans, the original one.

Had an RD 350 for a few years, my first street bike.
Got my very first ticket on it.  laughingdp

I do miss having it, but I don't miss the *frequent* points adjustments.
I'd like another 2-stroke, but something more advanced......



My grandfather bought a BMW R60/5, brand new.
My dad and I adopted it.
Quintessential boxer twin, painfully slow as a 600 with the bulk of 900.
Such a clunky transmission.
Just too much tractor DNA in it.



Ah, my XV920R.
A really wonderful motor, best transmission I've ever had.
Starter gear-drive was diabolically tragic, really a shame.
Overall a very pleasant motor trapped in a flexy-flyer frame with pencil thin forks and skinny tires.



Hooked me on twins, and kept me from buying an M900 when I was shopping, so I got this:



Didn't come exactly like that....

A little different than the 916 posted earlier, but these have always held a soft-spot for me:

The first new bike I ever bought was an S-2...350.

Clubman bars flipped over...

Denco pipes...

and a motor mod that Kevin Cameron, long before he was a famous journalist, and I came up with.
