Well, I have been riding for a relative short time compared to some of you. Purchased my first bike for my 40th birthday gift to myself.
1st- 1997 yamaha fzr600
2nd- 2001 suzuki LC 1500
3rd- 2006 suzuki boulevard M109r
4th- 2002 suzuki katana 600
5th- 2007 suzuki boulevard M109r

8th- 2006 kawasaki zx14
9th- 2003 kawasaki zzr1200
10th- 2003 kawasaki zzr1200
11th- 2014 can am spyder RT
12th- 2008 suzuki boulevard M109r
13th- 2012 can am spyder RSS
That is the list so far, but who knows what is to come.
2021 RTL , brake pedal from "Web Boards" chalk white
In all my years of riding I have only owned four bikes:
First - '76 Kawasaki KZ900 Surprisingly I survived to buy another bike.
Second - '89 Kawasaki 750 Vulcan
Third - '99/'00 Thunder Mountain Softail Evo
Fourth - '14 Spyder RTL
In the last 5 years I have had a 2006 ST1300 police bike and a 88 Goldwing. I bought a 750 Nighthawk just to take one trip. Iron Butt run from Key West Florida to Deadhorse Alaska. Got home and sold it. I still ride a Honda Fury and my wife has a VTX1300. The spyder is the sweetest ride ever.
1965 Cushman Eagle (A real dog, really bare bones)
1967 Honda Cub 50 (You meet the nicest people on a Honda)
1970 Honda CB 175 (See above)
1967 BSA 650 Lightning (GREAT Bike! Except at night)
1976 Honda CB 750 Super Sport (Fast, and the only one I ever laid down-OUCH! Road Rash!)
All of the above put together cost less to buy and maintain over the years that I had them than my current ryde:
2013 Spyder RTL (You meet the nicest people on a Spyder) DISCLAIMER: these are all stock pictures in no uncertain order, but the same colors I had
Seriously, while I loved - in their own ways - all of my previous bikes, I have to say that with even all of the trials and tribulations my Spyder has put me through the last three years (it's due back to me from the dealer on Saturday-it's been there since October 3rd) it is still hands down the bike that the Missus & I love riding. I would not, and nowadays could not go back to two wheels. I have been bitten and continue down that road that comes to 8 forks. I'll pick one when I get there.
