One of my other bikes is a 1985 FJ1100. It's much faster than I need. The yamaha guys
have a neat website called FJOWNERS. But not as neat as NGW, not by a long shot.

I ride a 1982 Yamaha 750 Maxim. This thing has 84HP and a top speed of 124MPH. Its like riding a thoroughbred after riding the old Goldwing plowhorse. I still prefer the Goldwing on trips, however.

My 08 Triumph Scrambler, It doesn't get rode near as much since buying the GW.

A few of the other bikes I had but sold last year. Too many bikes meant I was spending too much time in the garage and not enough time out riding.

The b-king, has to be scary fast street fighter. I think they made it for a couple of years.
A statement of excess. Very cool. I like.
And that buell is definatly naked.

The B-King was only brought to the states in 2008, guesses are less than 3000 came over. Continued producing them till 2011 overseas. Definitely scary fast power but very refined also. The Buell is all hand made custom by the po.

I guess it's my turn, so I'll show my other rides from oldest to youngest...

My '74 CB750 Four:
(Unrestored/almost bone stock except for the extra front disk and caliper and retro backrest)

Image

My '77 GL1000:
(Original paint, mostly unrestored)

Image

My '82 CB900F:
(Unrestored/almost bone stock)
Image

My '83 CB1100F:

Image

My '83 VF750F:
(Unrestored/totally stock)
Image

My '84 VF1000F:
(Original paint, but many powder coated/rebuilt components)
Image

And finally, my 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic - the only bike I've ever purchased new and also my only non--Honda

Image

I love them all. I ride them all. They're my "babies."
