1965 - K10 Suzuki (80cc, P.O.S.)
1958 - Heinkel Tourist ( spent 8 months riding this all over Europe in 1972!)
1972 - Honda CL 350 (bought in '73...great machine)
1977 - Honda CB 550 (1st NEW bike, also great machine)

1988 -  Honda GT 650 Hawk ( bought in '89 to replace the Sabre, nothin like a V-4)
2000 - Kawasaki C10 Concours  (solid tourer, bullet proof, surprisingly fast, but heavy)
2008 - Suzuki GSX 650 F (wonderful bike, GSX blue/white attracted police eyeballs, sportbike "ish", but relaxed ergos)

1970:  Honda Trail 70, I guess this started my love for motorcycles, thanks Dad
1974:  Kawasaki G4 100, lots of fun as a teenager, lots of places to ride off road back then
1975:  Triumph T160 Trident,  first street bike
1976: Yamaha 750 Special,  not sure about the year
1974:  Norton 850 Commando,  great fun, but wacky electrics, etc
1977:  BMW R77/7 750,  had a bad accident in mid-80s, quit riding for quite a while
1997:  Kawasaki Vulcan 1500,  back on two wheels after an extended hiatus, I put many miles on this one
200_:  Kawasaki Vulcan 900,  downsized a bit, put lots of miles on this one too. Can't remember what year model it was.
2009: Harley Heritage Softail, 96ci,  first Harley
2010:  Harley Ultra Classic,  I really hated this one.  Heavy, uncomfortable, did not fit me.
2015:  Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel, loved this one, fast, first rbw bike, comfy, gorgeous (red), but didn't work well with ethanol gas
2014:  Triumph Explorer 1200,  nothing wrong with it, but never fell in love, plus it was white
2014:  Harley Fat Boy,  good model, fit me good
2015:  Kawasaki KLR 650,  spur of the moment purchase, was fun, but didn't keep more than a year.  Too tall
2018:  Harley Heritage softail, Milwaukee 8 motor, was fine, but overkill for solo commuting.  Display was wet/had moisture/water inside, made hard or impossible to read.
2017:  Harley Dyna Fat Bob, my favorite Harley that I've owned
2014:  Harley Dyna Switchback, never fell in love
2017:  Harley Sportster 1200 Custom, my 2nd favorite Harley I've owned
2012: Harley Softail Deluxe
2020:  Kawasaki Z900RS, only ridden 10 miles, opinion pending

That's what I remember.  Lots of bikes, lots of money spent, lots of fun.

The Z which made way for the 900RS and my current Triples.







Which means I now own two RSes
