and as of a month ago, another CB350F*. As you can see, I am a fan of the CBs. Most I paid for a bike is $800 -- 1978 CB750F. Got one CB350F for free, a CB200 for $50, but the best was a CB160 for $100 about 7 years ago. It's in my photo. Might be leaving a couple out -- I'd buy cheap, get em running, and sell 'em in AZ.
* still got 'em.

100+ street motorcycles since I started riding in 1987. Oldest was a 1915 Henderson, newest was a 2005 Kawasaki VN800 Classic. Oldest Harley to date was a 1920 Sport Twin (fore and aft Boxer engine), newest Harley a 1993 Wide Glide (horrible bike). Oldest Indian was a pair of 1928 Scout factory hillclimbers, newest a 1938 Chief.
Currently have a pair of Suzuki Savages for me, a 1998 and a 2003. Wife has a 96 Intruder 800, and her 1971 CL100 is going to be turned into a rigid framed tracker for her grandniece, or a chainsaw/sawmill power plant...

Not enough time or memory .....................
Since riding legally with licence [ 16 ] in 1960 - EVERY popular brit bike except Vincent, many Specials - Tribsas [ mainly ] Tritons, Trifield, Tricati, sidecar outfits. Constellation in Triumph [ don't ask ! ], Manx and Inter Nortons. Maybe a dozen or so pre-war bikes as get to work hacks. Brief flirtations with Italian small capacity bikes - Ducati, Parilla [ beautiful machines ]
Into the 80's Laverda Jota, Ducati Desmo, Guzzi LeMans, Benelli 4 [ 308cc ? ], Moto Morini - odd Japanese squitter - maybe a dozen or so, mostly Honda.
90's - Guzzi Centauro and Sport 1100 Inj., various Airhead BMWs, BMW Kays
2000s - Back to my roots with specials - Honda CB900, CB550, Suzuki 450 Tracker, Kays
Currently - Yamaha TR1s, Kawasaki KZ750T, more BMW Kays ............................. and a top secret project I'm working on with my pal AC.
And I'm not finished there !! 8)

Coast to Coast
In order:
5hp Chopper mini-bike
Late 60's early 70's Ossa 250cc, wickedly fast dirt bike- when it ran.
1974 Yamaha TX500
1980 Kawasaki KZ440B (standard)
1982 Suzuki GS550M Katana (only new bike I ever bought)
1976 Yamaha XS650C rescued out of a shed, my Cafe'. I've had her 14+ years now.
1980 XS850SG very low mile 2 owner bike, still my daily ride for 6+ years.
I tend to keep them for a while and had a 12 year gap between the Katana and my 650.

~~~If it ain't raining, I'm riding~~{iii}?~~prost~
Never owned one till 2005, but rode some motorcycles in the 70's that belonged to other peeps.
2005 - 2006 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail, I ride this one when it's not raining and cold.
2010 - bought my 1974 CB350F from my brother, this one still has the tins off and primed for paint.
2011 - bought my 1975 CB750, I rebuilt this and ride when it's not raining and hot.
2012 - bought my 1972 CB100, In process of rebuild and strung out through the garage, storage shed.
Still own them all.

Rode all kinds of dirt bikes that were my friends until 2009.
Then took MSF and got the below:
1981 CM400T became CM450T Sold for a new fridge after I put 30K KM's on it
1979 GL1000 "Nudiewing" got this a year later - Will never sell this bike and it gets ridden hard, far and in all weather conditions.
1982 CX500 built for FIL to learn to ride and get his license, in my name until he does
This space reserved for future projects as they can be found. ;D

My history is kind'a lame.
Then
1978 YZ80 in 1983 - 84 (I was in middle school)
1980 CR125 in 85 - 86ish ( I think it was an 80)
Then, about 25 years of dark times with only cars and bicycles in my life...
Now
1975 CB360
1973 XL175
