OK here is my list (in order of ownership):

78 CB 400 Hawk (15,000 miles in 8 months)
78 Suzuki GS 750 (spit shim)
84 Honda Ascot VT500 (25,000 awesome miles)
82 GS 1100E Suzuki (street racer)
84 Honda XL 250R (rode from Missoula to Portland in 13 hours once)
71 Yamaha DT 250 (best $250 I ever spent)
82 Yamaha IT 175 (for work use mostly)
02 KLR 650 (15,000 dirt miles of fun)
71 Honda Trail 90
99 Kawasaki KX 250 (trail machine-I fear no 4 stroke)

Plus a Mach III Triple that never ran right, a Yamaha YZ 250 of dubious legality and a few others...

69 Kaw 90cc
62 Triumph 650 Bonnie TT (dirt bike, lucky to live through that at 14, but boy what stories, I was the King!)
74 Kaw 175 (a good bike but a bit understated after blowing up the Bonnie)
76(?) Kaw 400 Triple (modded, quick for it's day and what it was)
79 Kaw 650 IL4 (very heavy mods, killer for it's day and another I was lucky to live through)
60's Honda 350 twin drag bike (a rail, it was past it's prime but a fun toy)
70's 80cc Yamaha (still in parts, lol)
95 Kaw 650 KLR
96 Harley XL1200S
98 Suzy DR350
99 Buell S3T
04 Buell XB12R
06 Buell XB12X
08 Buell 1125R
All of the Buells have been the best. Time will tell if the 1125 beats out the 12R as my all time favorite.
