    4 I think:

    1/. Kawaski KH250 (3 pot 2 stroke). Good fun.
    2/. Yamaha TDR250. Great fun. It was mint and would have been worth a lot by now had I kept it.
    3/. Aprilia Pegaso 650. Better than you'd think.
    4/. Suzuki SFV650. Not great looking but quite capable.

    9 in total for me since I started in 1996:

    1996 Suzuki AP50

    2000 Yamaha Majesty 125cc (terribly unreliable, got rid within a year)

    1992 Honda CBR 250RR
    Bought a helmet and went into the shop and bought the bike. Wouldn’t let me drive it home seeing as I had never ridden a bike before.
    Looked back at that after a few months and thanked him.
    Delivered to my house and spent a few weeks pottering around outside my house on it before going on the road.

    1988 Suzuki Gsxr 750 Slingshot
    Beautiful bike always regret getting rid of that.

    1992 Suzuki Gsxr 750
    Water cooled engine and a heap of junk compared to its predecessor.
    2 engines and a cracked frame later, got rid.

    1994 Honda VFR 400
    Cracker of a bike and a head Turner and sounded amazing, engine was tuned by some dude I never heard of before, but you could tell it was special.

    1998 Yamaha R1
    Loved that, great bike and the one I enjoyed the most.

    2004 Suzuki Gsxr 750
    Got this after about 8 years off bikes.
    Never really got the feeling I had back when I had my R1.
    Didn’t ride it enough and thought better of it.
    Not a bike you want to be weekend riding once a month.

    Have the itch again to get another.
    Hopefully this year or next.
