Wow, @BSATREV! That truly is quite a list! Your vine with a few others on here for the most diverse and highest number of bikes owned. You and Jay Leno.

Well, the Speed Twin wasn’t listed in the first poll, but I still claim my bike is a Triumph Early bikes: 1982 Yamaha SR250, 1985 Honda Shadow 500 Here are my more recent non Triumphs with pics: 2003 Ducati ST4s ABS (sportbike with bags), 2007 Ducati GT1000 (the modern classic before the modern classic was cool), 2008 BMW K1200S (ludicrous speed, I looked down one day and was leisurely cruising along at over 130, not even in top gear!) 2014 BMW RNineT (great all around standard bike, but the Speed Twin stole my heart...)
Those are some thoughtfully chosen bikes, Bill. Nicely done. Bolosun might be my hero, though! That’s quite a list. For me: 1983 Suzuki 650 1983 Kawasaki GPz 305 1986 Honda 500 Interceptor (great bike) 1990 Honda CBR1000 2001 Yamaha R1 2001 BMW R1100S 2007 Aprilia Tuono 2001 Aprilia Mille R (sentimental favorite) 2008 Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport (despite the name more of a tourer—I did two 800 mile days and a 950 mile day on that bike) 2009 BMW K1300S 2013 Aprilia RSV4 2005 Aprilia Tuono Racing Only fairly recently have I come to Triumph. I have a modern Bonneville and a Speed Twin along with the 2005 Tuono right now.
550four ,,very underrated bike,,I traveled to London by bus to HGB motorcycles and rode one back to Glasgow,,happy days ,
My son's first bike was a Honda 500 Interceptor and I agree it was a great bike -loads of fun and just right riding position for it.
Couple of pictures of Norton when I had it and now........refound on an auction site by chance by remembering and typing in FJD 609......never forget the number plates (last picture). Before that a BSA Bantam (without seat) used for scrambling in the countryside of Suffolk and later a Honda C70 (yes I know) to commute from Selsdon to Borough Road in London.
I have never been without a bike since my FS1E in 1978. Over the years I have owned a number of Suzuki GS-fours - the 550, 850 and 1000, RD250 and RD400, a '98 Fireblade, a pre-V-Tec VFR800, Blackbird, 1150GS and R1200RT. The RT is the bike that I traded in for my Bonneville. I also have a GSF1250sa and my other half rides an MT07.
Did a thread on some of my bikes some time ago. https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/my-bike-history-in-pics.9963/
My bike experience: license bike: Suzuki GN250 1st own: Suzuki 1500 Intruder; Harley Davidson was to expensive ;-) test bike: Honda Bandit 600 (hot, but to small!) 2nd: Yamaha SCR950 (great sound) 3rd: Honda CB1100EX (full retro with great engine) 4th: Triumph Tiger 1200 Alpine Edition (What a bike!!!)
