Just curious, how many of us are also motorcyclists, and what do you ride? I've been riding 42 years, and current rides are a Suzuki Cavalcade and a Goldwing.

I've been riding for about 35 years now. At the moment I have ten bikes: 2001 Kawasaki W650, 1982 Suzuki Katana 1000, 1979 Suzuki GS1000S, 1975 Suzuki GT750, two 1974 Suzuki RL250's, two 1971 Suzuki MT50R's, 1968 Kawasaki W2SS, and a 1967 Suzuki S32-2.
Legally been riding a Vespa GTS 250 for 2 years. Had a smaller Vespa before that for a couple years and 20 years before that, Yamaha 650 and a Kawasaki Kz 650.
I am starting my second season on a Yamaha XS650, my first bike. Just had it on its first long ride of the year, and it performed beautifully.
The Buell Ulysses is an awesome bike, I'd love to have one.
Buell Blast that is converted to a cafe racer, gotta love a thumper :grin:
Then also a '63 Harley/Aermacchi race bike basket case I need to get back together.
1977 XL125 (with Chinese 200cc Lifan engine, 12v & starter, geared up) 1980 XL80 (with XL75 tank & bars, tail light from SL125, geared up)
I appreciate a small maneuverable bike. 125 gets about 60mpg in heavy neighborhood driving, the 80 get about 95mpg. Almost all on-road, no freeway.
Just started riding again.. its been 13 years. just picked up an 87 Kawasaki Ex500.
drove my car for the 1st time in a week today.
seems slow now.
Riding 25 years (18 on the street) Currently have 03 CBR600RR 98 XR400R (baja kit for street legal) 01 DRZ 400S (for sale) 82 KZ750LTD
Others are in my name but belong to my father.
Riding dirt since I was 13, street since 16, now 34. Bikes I've had in the past include: 73 Honda 350 scrambler, 87 Honda CB750F supersport, 92 Honda Shadow, 04 Yamaha R6, 86 Goldwing. The only two-wheeler I have right now is my 94 Yamaha WR250 dirt bike so currently no street riding for me, except the rare few times my buddy lets me play with his 07 Yamaha R1.
Currently I'm streetbikeless :(, but I have a 2006 Kawisaki KX250F MXer that sees track duty.
I've been through a '76 Kawi KZ650 (really miss that one), an '86 Ninja 600, a '94 CBR600 (really miss that one, too), a '94 CBR900RR, an '04 Honda Shadow 750, an '84 Honda Hawk GT, an '05 Suzuki Burgman 400 and a '99 BMW R1100RT.
I'll have another streetbike someday, but I'm not in a hurry.

I'm going into my second year of riding. Current bikes are 87 Honda VFR700F (love the V4 sound), and a 73 Suzuki GT250 that I need to get around to rebuilding.

Interestingly, my brother just bought a 1981 GS450 yesterday for his son to ride. It's in really nice shape, only about 8,000 miles on it.
Used to do the crotchrocket thing; had to give it up. Still keep my licence, though.. never know when something might pop up.
I've been riding since I was 10 but I haven't ridden much in the past few years. I still have a Honda CB 550F Supersport under a dusty cover and just for kicks, I picked up a CT70 Minitrail last fall.
Been riding just under 20 years. Currently I have a 99 BMW R1100S
"The Baroness"
I just picked up this 02 R6 as a deadicated track bike "Momacita Caliente"
I also have a disassembled 74 BMW R/60, a 1980 Honda 80 and a big foot go-ped
The GS is a good bike. Check out GSResource for all your bike fixin' needs. It's been simple to work on so far - mine has all of 5k miles on it!
