It's a 20 footer. Shows her age but runs great. It's hard to start when it's even a little cold. Takes forever to warm up. But this thing is the smoothest riding machine I've ever been on. It'd hafta be a rim breaker to feel a bump. And those fenders act like a sail when ya pass a semi. But they look so cool.
1985 Honda V65 Magna. Been riding since 1966.
2012 Yamaha R1. 
My parents bought me a Honda 90 in 1968. I quickly joined the biker gang of like minded riders that were 15-17 years old.
Sold it after many road rash incidents when old enough to get a car. We had fun in our "gang" LOL..
Got back into street bikes, buying a 450 Honda. Don't even remember the year, then getting a Yamaha RD- 250 that was a rocket ship. Went overseas, in the army for several years and came back to buy a 76 Gold Wing, second year production.
Put 66K miles on it, and had to lay it down twice in one year. Sold it, got off the street and went to ATV racing in 82. Ran the local circuit until 85 250R water pumper came out, then went national.
Finished up at the National Championships in Boyd Tx in 86 at 10th place. Still have the trophy.
Still ride a Honda ATC 250 SX three wheeler that I restored to factory new condition.

Not me, but I would if I could afford one. You can laugh if you want but i want a honda ruckus to start out.
Honda VTX 1300 R with a few add ons... Need to get the bags painted to match but planning a trip to Arkansas in a couple of weeks so needed em on for the time being. Any good but cheap painters out there lol.
I started late, didn't get my motorcycle license until I wad in my late 20's and it took me a couple years to finally get a motorcycle once I had it. Started out with a pos 81 Yamaha XJ650 that I had for about a year and only kept it running long enough to put about 100 miles on. Sold that off and got a 99 Honda Nighthawk 750. Ride that for a couple years until some dude pulled out in front of me while I was turning and I went down. Took the insurance money from that and my summer bonus and bought my current bike, a 2003 Honda 919. I really enjoy this bike, although I don't ride nearly as much as I should.
100K+ miles on the street, many on the back tire only, and a lot of dirt miles in my life. Still own:
#40 1978 Husqvarna 250 CR Motocrosser ( Should sell it, getting too old for that stuff )
#41 1976 Husqvarna 250 WR ( Good plunking bike )
#42 1972 Kawasaki 750 three cylinder original crotch rocket. 11.27 quarter mile, front wheel up at 100 any time I wanted in 1972, it is all still there. Just have to remember all the way down is neutral. ( My Adrenalin rush anytime I need it )
#43 1998 1500 Gold Wing ( less miles on it than I would like to talk about ) Have not had the opportunity to ride much the last 3 yrs. Had it out yesterday, really nice.
Wish I still had #1 1949 Gas and go Cushman Hilander or #3 1953 Cushman Eagle or #6 1964 Triumph Bonneville or Hell, all of them, --- well except for the #2 Vespa and the #14 ratass Suzuki water buffalo turd that a jackass made me such a good deal on I could not pass it up. Rode it about 40 miles and turned it for a $200 profit. Really good deal, to get rid of it.
What would I like to have -- BossHoss 350. Just to burn out, then go park it to recover.
One thing nice about getting old is that you do not have to push quite as far to get all you can stand.

Finally got around to rebuilding my 1974 MT 125 Honda. Got my motorcycle lic at 14. Wished I had a 250 like it as the 125 just don't have the power I remembered. That and I probably gained a few pounds since then.
