What is the best bike you have ever owned apart from the GTR of course. For me there are two. Honda CX 500 and I hate to say this BMW R 100/7 a blue 1978 one.

1200 GS........close
But for smiles on the miles GTR - best by far! :)

I've owned a GL-500 SilverWing, Kawasaki Voyager XII, C10 and C14.  The C14 (GTR) is clearly the best.

Excluding the GTR would be  1978(T) Honda 750/4. Have also had a really nice 400/4 as well.

My previous to the GTR was a 1000cc Vstrom. Great all round bike, I commuted/toured/scratched on it. I did just short of 100,000 miles on it, and four years after selling it, it is still going strong.
Scotoiler sorted the chain drive out, the only downside [ and I guess mu lack of cleaning did not help] was the quality of the finish.

I wouldn't say its my best bike, but one I have the most memories of.  Sure felt bigger than it looks ! 

How things have changed.

Kawasaki Z1000 J2, very early 80s


Few years back I got another  :wacko:

My best bike had to be the GTR closely followed by the K16.

I also had a CB750F2 but it bored me to tears.
Chopped it in after 2 months for a Z1300/6.
Was my first Kawasaki and wish I still had it.
Will get another one someday.

Best bike I ever owned was Sanji, my first GTR1000.
Still have the engine from her in Otto (my current GTR1000).
