No pictures, but my first ride was a 96 Honda magna. I sold that after 2 months for a 2001 triumph Daytona 955i. After crashing that, I bought an 08 675, then an 07 675 to be used as a track only bike!
I dont know what it was about my sv but it was my favorite bike. set up properly it womped in the corners that and i got it for dirt cheap. didnt baby that thing one bit!
Yeah, well I am pretty sure that Ima get some flak for these pics LOL but oh well, well al know I made the smart choice and went to the R. Anyways Here ya go. My old bike-2006 gsxr 1000, Originally had the shitty Rizla team fairings on it, so after a bit, I repainted the tank and got a new set of fairings. Threw on a hotbodies Gp exhaust and some vortex rearsets, PCIII and that was about it. My first bike where I got most of my maintenance experience. Did everything myself except the actual painting of the tank.
Have been on an '03 Daytona 955i for some time now. Pics soon..... Still waiting for my D675R to get here. It has 2 months now with the moving company :nomore:
Well I don't have any pics of my first bike, a 2005 Kawi EX500, but it wasn't much to look at anyway, ha ha. I bought it new in 2006 and sold it last year after getting my new 2009 FZ6R seen here:
My only other bike that I owned was a 2003 Kawasaki Z1000. Learned to ride on my dads 1980's-ish Honda CX500. I do miss it, but I couldn't keep two bikes. Sold her for the Daytona. I don't regret it at all, just wish I could have both. These 3 pics show the progression of how I bought it and what I turned it into before I laid it over and sold it.
started with a 03 katana 600 (great starter bike!)
went to an 06 kawi 636
then to a 675, by far the best handling, lightest, faster bike. 11k later still loving it!

2012 Daytona 675r
1984 Kawasaki 454LTD - Loved this bike. Fantastic fun to ride, learn on, wrench on. Sad to sell it, but worth it. Rode it for nearly two years, and sold it for 50 bucks less than what I paid. :thumbup:
My second (and currently one of two)...The Daytona!!
My third, and new to me as of a couple days ago! 1987 Suzuki SP200...I freaking love this thing. It's got a squeak in the rear suspension that is kind of annoying, and a leak from the carb vent that I don't know anything about, but this is a blast. Kick start only...Something about the bike roaring to life after a successful kick start is just pure fun. I got it for cheap, and it is in fantastic shape! :thumbup:
