A really good thread, funny though.You made me ponder the difference between ..Favourite bikeBest bike Most memorable bikeMost desirable bike.Favourite..Current ‘07 Norge Has more of my life encapsulated within than the others.Best bike Triumph Sprint ST 1060 Absolute reliability and confidence inspiring to live with.Most memorable Honda SL70. Excitement and happiness beyond description..(14 years old..)Most desirable MV Agusta F4. A show off’s weapon to make others envious..(hardly a good reason to own one..)If the shed was on fire and I only had time to push one out..? Norge, slam dunk. Good post Huzo. And I currently have a 2012 Norge with 73,000 miles on it. It's been a great bike. An excellent mix of touring and sport riding. But I've listed it for sale because I want something lighter. I'm 68 years old and I'm not getting any stronger as I'm getting older. Been looking for an 08-09 Triumph Sprint ST 1050 because they are 100 lbs lighter than the Norge. And the 08-09 went to a steel gas tank vs the plastic tank. Agree with the F4 as most desirable. Would love to ride one, but not own one. I have a friend with one. Money pit. I also have an 02 Cali Special Sport that I love riding. But I'm not sure it would be a good long distance tourer like the Norge. It might. I'll have to try to see.

I see some people have snuck in more than three bikes by using the "honorably mention" loophole.So my honorable mention is the 1985 Yamaha FJ100, which earned the nickname "Velvet Sledgehammer". At the time, it was about the fastest thing on the road and was one of the first sport-touring motorcycles with the emphasis on sport. That thing would never stop pulling... I sold it to save my life because I was addicted to speed. That's when I found out it was more fun to ride a slow bike fast and got my first BMW, and R100CS.As a potential criteria for the lists... I still occasionally look for FJs on Craigslist and am tempted when I see a clean, low-mile example, but I don't look at airhead BMWs anymore.
I wonder , is it more about the memories made on a motorbike that makes it the greatest than how competent it really was ?
