Several bikes built/rebuilt from scrappies - so no manuf. makes in 50's & 60's.
Then got better-off and went legal with usual assortment of sub 250's - the limit in those days - even had a couple of scooters until the mods (not the Kev type!) gave 'em a bad name.
Best bike before XTR - Kawasaki KE175 - saw me through the bad snows in the late 70's and was an endless source of fun.
Divvy 900 - South of France several times almost as fast as flying.
Retired to Fazer 1000 - smooth fast QUIET a natural stealth.
XTR - no verdict yet but have high hopes of river-bed ranging and getting to places in the Spanish mountains I can only see in the binocs at present.
Every bike I have ever had was the best bike in the world at the time 'cos it was mine and nobody could stop me.
