For me it has to be a Bandit 600,
Got to be the GPZ 900R, first production superbike well ahead of it's time,
got to say that really though as i have a few of em :)
I have always had a passion for the Aprilia Mille.
The sound is awesome, and you just cant beat the look of one.

From today's offerings I would like to try a BMW K1200S for some fun.
for me the honda rc30 changed the design of race bikes in so many ways
Race wise got to be the NSR500, dominates for years, BIG BANG or SCREAMER you got to love em
Road wise Honda Fireblade in 92 changed the sportsbike scene
for me my bandit cos she's me first bike!!!! I love her!!!
my bandit 600 was my 1st bike...my ultimate bike I think would be the busa though
A man with true taste, lol, both good choices
Only had two bikes, Aprilia rs125 and now my first big bike
fazer 600
i like it, not saying its the greatest bike ever but throw some sticky tyres at it and it really does well.
still got alot more bikes to try tho
i have to agree with ladyridercymru, aprilia know what they are doing.
Personally, got to be a Kwack, always been ahead of the game. Firstly the Z1 in the 70's, the Z900 and my particular favourite (cos I've got 1) the GPz1100 unitrac. Later I would agree with the GPZ900R, had 1, loved it, but it was water cooled and I prefer air cooled bikes.
Well if I had a choice of bikes maybe this one

There is only one bike without an engine ;D

For me it's my current ride a Triumph Sprint ST 1050. Lovely looks, more chuckable than my limited ability can handle, an awesome engine and last but not least a glorious triple roar ;D
From the past I would have to say a Yam RD350LC and a Hesketh V1000
For me, just has to be the Gixer Thou K5/6 for it all round stupidity with a stomping engine in a package that was lighter than my SV..... and they made it look like a tube of toothpaste ;) Love it!
I am a tad baised though ::)
For me it is the Indian Chief or the Honda 550 Four (my first bike back when).
I my humble opion
Triumph Bonneville T140!
Only improved if put in a Norton Featherbed frame, clip-ons, Manx tank, rear-sets, megaphone exhaust, etc! 8-)
Must dash off now as I need a rub down with a damp edition of the Radio Times!!!! :-[
Y2k...road legal bike that goes quicker than an F14 jet...ooooooooh yes LOL
got to be two already mentioned, laverda jota coz my neighbour had one when i was growing up, awesome sound at 6 in the morning woke me up every time!! and the fact that we where up till 3 am one morning rebuildin the engine so it could be ridden all the way to the laverda factory in Italy!! and a Yam RD350 LC ypvs just such an iconic bike of that era sums up what it was all about back in the day. today tho i havn't got a fav not yet anyway, maybe after my DAS in june perhaps!
Ah everyone has a different opinion on this, which is how it should be...
Differetn people appreciate bikes for differetn reasons....which is just brilliant or we would all be riding the same type of machine really.
But for me i have 2 all time favorites
1. Suzuki RG500
500cc road going stroker.....hmmm the smell alone would do, but with manic performance and at the time all the big manufacturers were trying to outdo one another in the now dead 2 troke market....but for me suzuki just pipped the rest with the RG
2. Yamaha FZR750 OW01
Years ahead of its time, and a race proven record like nothing else of the era!!!!
and a sneak in for a 3rd i guess.......
NSR500 but i think it was the rider rather than the bike....MICK DOOHAN on the NSR...
What a call with the RG500 Gav! QUALITY BIKE! 8-)
Secretly admits, :o "I wanted one!" :o
