Blimey, that’s quite a list! Lots of very different styles, too. Looks like none of mine (certainly a much shorter list) are on yours.

Side tip: if you want to quote from a post, select the text and you’ll see an option to do so, as I did with yours.

Was that an XBR500 ?

Except it was my fathers and I was about 3 or 4 years old at the time

And about 64 years later I can match your No.32

Except it’s my latest purchase and only my No.7 bike

No.1 was a CBR600F about 30 yrs ago (& still on my No.1 pillion)

It was a CB250RS with a 500cc engine bolted into it. The 500 engine had the same crank cases.

The Yamaha SRX600 was a similar, great bike, as well. I liked mine so much I got another one some years later.

@ Tig… I only had one from your collection, the 600 diversion… it was a tatty “do it up” job… which was the fun part of ownership, because riding it, whilst not offensive in any particular way… was also “the blandest thing in the house”!

@DCS222 Yes without a doubt I found mine the same as I bought two as damage repairables to profit on. After owning them both and a small gap before of no riding I nearly gave up biking as it didn’t move me!
Then I stumbled on my yellow new to be Skorpion sport single cylinder virtually within a week or two as I had decided not to bother anymore with bikes, well that just blew fun out of proportion and relit my biking spark to the extent of an atom bomb!!
