    I think one of the favourite bike I have had was my Firebird Scrambler. I took the engine down to srm engineering in Penarth Docks to have it extensively rebuilt after that boy could it roar. Now they don't even answer emails.

    I just remember seeing the pictures of the black and gold Guzzi in Superbike magazine, well I eventually saw the bike after looking at the lack of clothing on the person posing on or neat the bike.

    The Ducati advert with the original Mike Hailwood replica was also memorable

    Fell in love with a custom Dyna Glide Chopper, but far to impractical for city riding. Have to be Neno my beloved Speedmaster 1200

    My Guzzi Breva 1100- just a tad too top heavy for my short aged legs:

    I think it has to be my Exploder. It does just about everything I want it to and a whole lot more. Great fun in the twisties, all day comfy and will give most sports bikes a run for their money. A bit too heavy though.
    A close second would be my 1974 CB125S. Commuted and even toured on it. Kept it as a second bike and used it as a first bike.

    My 2010 Scrambler is the one I've owned longest, doing everything I want of her - & never let me down. However if I had to pick just one it would have to be my old Suzuki DR350. As an all-rounder (solo) it was perfect for me.

    My current two bikes are the best I’ve ever owned, my 2013 ST just suits me perfectly, you never have to plan a ride with a Street Triple, just jump on and away you go. It’s like a 250 with a super bike engine!

    My 1993 Fireblade was acquired very recently and for me it fulfils a personal ambition to own one of the best original unrestored examples of an early twin headlamp blade, it took me a year to buy it (another story) and I still can’t believe it’s in my garage.
