I've been 'bikeless' for many years now but back in the day (!)
Honda
CB125J
CB250 Dream
CB550F
CBX550F2
CBX750
CB1100RC
VF1000R
VFR750F (x2)
and finally...purchased new in 1988 for £9200 was a RC30 (this isn't mine but you get the idea)
I also had a number of offroaders (XR350 and so on) and a unreliable Ducati MHR.

I thought Ducatti and unreliable were two words that went hand in hand.
Couple of friends had them, one had a very expensive thing that wouldn't start if it was cloudy so had a ZXR750RR as a spare, and another friend
bought a brand new Ducatti that needed an engine rebuild after 3000 miles (approx 6 months old).
Only useful for hanging on the wall cos I do like to look at them

When it ran it was a thing of wonder....just didn't happen very often. It was a Mike Hailwood Replica though 
Basically a 900SS with a body kit. Sounded wonderful. Sold it on as I was really a Honda person and was used to reliable bikes (!).

When i was a bike mechanic i got to ride most of what Yamaha ,Suzuki ,Triumph,Honda and Kawasaki had to offer but i think i've had more fun on
the bike i own now than anything else ,especially around the twisties . It's no good on the open road though with only 105 mph top end but it
wheelies for ever :-)
KTM 690 SMC-R

I had this CBR125R for my first bike which was a superb learner bike and for the inner city but too slow for 70mph roads
Got my full licence, sold the CBR for almost what I paid for it new and bought this Virago xv535 which is such a nice bike to ride, now very loud with
a stainless exhaust, perfect amount of power for me and tonnes of torque so once going rarely need to change gear at all even overtaking up hills
I'd give it 10/10
have to say though flak monkey's chopper is my dream kind off bike and looks just fantastic

Great to see another trials rider on here, they do indeed rule!
You must be pretty good if you've been riding that long

Skov, I was fairly good at one time but age (and weight) has caught up to me. 62 year old bodies don't move so well. I think there are several
trials riders on this forum, they just haven't seen this thread yet. Russ

The list of bikes I have previously owned is very long, the one I have hung on to is a 1979 Benelli 500 4 LS, I can't see me riding it again. I
hope the grandkids will appreciate it.
