I Brought another 1997 Honda VFR750F the other day for the bargin sum of £850, twice now l have returned to a model of bike that l have owned in the past (ZZR600,VFR750F) sometimes the last one was many years ago such as the ZZR600 and i think as long as they are useable l will keep on buying ZZR600,s and VFR,s as they always appeal to me.

Anyone else like this with particular models.

SV650 Embarassed.
Also, RS250.
A few others, but those are the two where I've owned working bikes at different points as opposed to owning the same model concurrently (DR600, C90 and also SV650.)

I've had 5 different Goldwings, altough they were all different engine sizes, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1500 & 1800. I've also had 3 FJ1200's and if another came up that was immaculate with luggage I'd have it like a shot!

I bought myself another NTV - I wanted a project bike, and a known entity was an easier option than something of that vintage that was new to me.

I would DEFINITELY have another Honda XL125 with a kickstart.
And I would DEFINITELY have another Super Tenere Wub

And I *think* I might have bought another GPZ500 last summer ... only I was blazin' quite a lot these last few months, and I can't remember ... cos I bought it off the same bird I bought the last one off, and now I don't want to look like a plonker asking her "Did I just buy another GPZ off you or did I imagine it?" Laughing

No really ... I don't need "help".
I simply need putting into a straitjacket.

Owned a few CBR125's, I guess because I got comfortable with the maintenance. Wouldn't mind another one, know them inside out.

Also if I could have kept it, my last CLR125, miss having wide bars and a comfy seat, although "60 on a good day" was less than achievable Laughing

I keep on buying KH250s when I'm flush and selling them when I'm skint. Had 3 so far...

Had a couple of GS550e's...

I'd love another Bimota SB6R if I could afford, but prices seem to be on the up. If I ever did I'd spend some cash getting the suspension tailored for me rather than the Italian gibbon midget they leave the factory sorted for. I'd also find a longer sidestand (ouch!!!)...

2x NC30s (plus an RVF if that counts).

2x Superfours (3x CB400s if you include a 400/4).

Do numerous 125s count? (Similar air cooled engines, just different lengths of suspension travel/sticker on the tank).

Surprisingly, every day doesn't always feel like Groundhog Day, although my choice in bike does seem to go around in circles every now and again. I might buy another early Blade next year just for kicks.

Buying one can really be addicting. Once it starts, it's hard to let go. Smile

I've had three different CX500s.

The first was a brand new CX500 Eurosport.
That got written off by a prat driving through a junction in the car he's just stolen and was replaced with a new Silverwing (GL500 but basically a CX with a fairing and luggage - poor man's Gold Wing).

A few years later I bought a CX500B
