Other than mower mini-bikes, my first ride on a 50R with the fat little tires and no clutch 3 gears had me hooked. After a couple Czech made shitty mopeds, Bought 2 70cc Passport (nee: Cub) , then an '81 XR200r (still riding her too! Just doin sprocket and chain from the ORIGINAL...yet my '03 954rr snapped its stock chain @ only 9000km ?) Bought a 86 750 Interceptor and the cams MELTED 10 days later!!! But, that old 200R made me keep my faith, and I bought an 89? 600 Hurricane (i called it the F-ZERO) Then 91 600 F2, and now loving my Titanium 03 954rr. I've only seen the # 292kmh during the 'quick peep' glances, but the #3 has yet to appear! Will the speedo show 300km and if so, whats the actual corrected speed?

Started on a Honda Z50R Minibike...then a 250R 2-stroke quad. Had (2) 1984 V65 Sabre 1100cc's, then my current 03 600RR.
My father has owned an Acura/Honda shop for 15+ years, and i've been around them my whole life. Nothin better in my eyes.

Well I'm still young. Only one. The F1 is the only one. I am a fan of the BAR Honda team. Does that count?

Honda's... swore i'd never have one!!!!!!! Happily eat'n those words repeatedly !!!!!!!! honda, suzuki, ducati, ktm, yamaha, bsa, rickman, bultaco, montesa, dalesman, penton, maico, husky, hodaka, from 50cc to 1300 six. The problem w/ strick brand loyalty... is you miss out on the opportunity to enjoy alot of different cycle'n experiances.
I still need a zx11 c or d model, for the intake howl, a bultaco 360 astro, to scare myself proper and blow up , a big old bog wheeler matchless trials bike, for the chuff, a vincent black shadow, to make the brakes work!!!!! a butt kick'n streetfighter, maybe my 88 1100 gixxer(if I toss it!!!!) A 145ci merch v-twin motored, engli framed gt. I want to build a zook 400cc 2 sroke(widow maker) cafe/canyon straifer.I just traded off my yam 650 hard tail... but have two xs650 projects, one a manx style gt and a kenny robert dirt tracker, to finish. My duc makes me giggle like a small girl... Restoring a dt 175 yam, frame off, for a friends kid. I want to learn how to pound alum tanks...
I love bikes, lots of bikes, all bikes. I also cheer for both sides at church vollyball games, and have twice as much fun as anyone else !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been look'n for a frame to house a rx-7 engine... Clean and free, Ripp'n (jay leno wannabe!!!!!)

Hmm...spent an extra $1400 to get my bike shipped (from Hawaii) to where I live...Guam...there are NO Honda cycle dealers here...But I HAD to get me a Honda! And since there are no dealers here...my bike REALLY stands out from all the rest (suzukis,kawasakis,yamaha)...I 'heart' MY HONDA!

One Honda bike, which is my current '04 F4i, and one Honda car, old skool '89 Accord LX-i which I've had for the last 6 years and still love to death. If I had more $$ to spend right now but on a tight budget so I have to limit myself to what I've got, otherwise I'd have more! I love Hondas though, both the car and bike have been the most reliable machines ever made. Planning on getting an Acura TL for my next cage

Every bike I've owned has been a Honda, starting back when I was 15 and got a used CB 125 for Christmas. Over the years I've had several Hondas, and ridden other bikes, but never owned anything but a Honda.
Got out of bikes for a while so I could raise my family. Started riding again about 5 years ago. I was looking for a cruiser type bike. Test rode every brand around that I could get my hands on - even a Harley. I fell instantly and madly in love with the Honda Valkyrie. Beautiful bike, smooth and powerful for a cruiser. Nothing else could compare. Put a little over 20,000 miles on that bike. Now don't laugh, but I bought a Goldwing after that and had them both for a while. Still have the Wing (and it's not you grandfather's Wing anymore -- see the videos of Yellow Wolf at Deals Gap if you doubt that).
Right before Christmas, bought an 06 F4i -- my first modern sport bike. I rode that thing all winter when the weather permitted. This spring I got the 06 1000RR.
I still ride the Wing some, especially when the wife comes along. But mainly riding the 1KRR and loving every minute of it. Some people are fairly surprised when they see me pull up and pull off my helmet and realize I'm far from a 20 something kid. ha ha ha. It makes for some interesting conversations sometimes. :)

yea most people think we are all young...but I have met quite a few guys that are into there late 40's and early 50's that still enjoy the sport bikes. Hell my dad is 45 and he rides and he has a Harley Ultra classic, he rode my bike for a little while and he liked it....but I know my mom wouldnt like sitting on the back lol.

1st bike I every rode was a Honda, but have only owned 3, which is average because I've owned 3 or more of every other Japanese bike (including Bridgestone). 2 BMW's and a Guzzi. Although the current bike is the only one that I had that I've kept for more than two years.
