Your top five bikes you've owned

Surprised at the year variation going on here, you'd think you guys that have owned newer bikes wouldn't look back. Some of the older stuff must not have been complete trash

I think older bikes get a bit of a pass as you get further and further away from owning them.  Kind of like I get better as a young rider the older I get.     I guess I picked the older bikes because of what they meant to me at the time.  I'm sure my son's 05 125 would make that 85 look like a turd, but it was a "Works Replica" when I had it.  I was just like Jeff Ward!  At least until I fired it up and had to ride it.

Nostalgia factor, totally get that. I want a gs1100ez Suzuki just for that reason, I know it won't live up to the past though. That & I can't afford to drive like that again. Off-road is better anyway , no speed limits  Would be funny as hell to watch a fish cop try
