I think about the 17 bikes I have owned since 1972 and I think my most favorite bike would be the one i had the most fun on at the time.But if I was picking from all those, it would have to be my 1973 suzuki 500 cc 2 stroke twin,left side kickstart.it was my first bike over 350 cc's,seemed to have a lot of power, and it never broke down on me.probably most here would say their valkyrie is their most favorite bike.For now it is mine.What is/was your favorite bike?

If I had money i would own a ducati,moto guzzi,bmw,triumph,rune,wraith confederate,v max,hyabusa, v rod muscle,motus. several here own more than 1 bike.How do you ride them all?

While I love my Valk, I might have to pick my 1972 Honda SL350.  Basically a street legal dirt.  Owned it while stationed in Mayport Florida in the mid 70's.  Rode it year round everywhere, even on the beach.  Would wheelie at will.  Cruised it all the way down to St. Augustine once.  Cost me all of $400 to buy it.  What a blast to ride.

+1.  I had one with a 2 speed hub you shifted with the pedals, a slick back tire plus a springer front end.  Sweet.  Bought it for $25 from one of my buddies and his dad almost killed him for selling it so cheap.  (The friend who sold it to me is now in the District Attorney's office in Tarrant County, but I think it's been long enough now that he won't file legal actions to retrieve it).
