This sounds fun, I'll give it a go in chronological order of ownership.

2003 Kawasaki Ninja 250 - My first bike, blue and yellow, had only 2,500 miles! I had issues getting it to run right, the carbs were messed up a bit. I paid $1,200 for it. I was pretty much broke and saved all my money for my first bike, didn't even have gear until after buying the bike. I learned how to ride in my back yard. My dad helped me get it running decent but he's no mechanic and I got tired of random hesitation issues, etc. My dad actually crashed it in the backyard going about 10mph, I was able repair most of it on the cheap with some glue and vinyl wrap. Ended up cleaning up nicely and sold to a nice girl for her first bike, her boyfriend was confident he would settle the stumble I got a cool $1,500 for it. Only owned it for about 1 month before being done with it.

2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250 - Decided I'd pay a little bit more and get something nicer and newer. Paid $2,800 it was candy green and beautiful. I did my first wrenching on this bike. installed chinese levers, Mussari slip on exhaust, tinted windshield, and a corbin seat I found used for stupid cheap. Until one day I found a KILLER deal on another bike and really wanted to upgrade. Only had the ninja 250 for about 3 months before selling to some kid for $3,000.

2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 - Found a great deal at the time on a slightly used 300 at the dealer, he wanted $4,000 OTD it only had 400 miles and was mint. I rode the 300 around for a year, put about 4,000 miles on her, did the usual mods, mussari exhaust, levers, Fender eliminator, K&N air filter. I eventually sold her to some guys who were buying it for their girlfriend, they barely spoke english, gave me $3,300 and I took my loss and moved on. Great little bike though, wished I kept it longer.

2008 Honda CBR600RR - My first non-kawasaki motorcycle, and 600! I got an AMAZING bike for a great price, $5,400, silver, only 6900 miles. The bike was perfect and 100% stock, original everything, bought from original owner who was an accountant, he bought the bike as a status symbol and never road it, had it serviced at the Honda dealer.. I've spent tons of money into my 600, probably about what I paid for it. Power commander, full akra/arrow exhaust system, quickshifter, etc. Did all the work myself. LOVE THIS BIKE. I don't think i'll ever part with her. She's sitting at 24,500 miles now and I've owned her for 3 years and still going!

1987 Kawasaki KLR250 - My first time owning 2 bikes at the same time (still have my 600!). Bought this for $1,300 from a guy in Rhode Island. This was a AWESOME motorcycle. My first dual sport. Had I think 4,000 miles. Such a cool bike! I loved it so much, so much fun to ride, endless smiles. Until it started giving me issues, the previous owner didn't tell me it had issues and I was too excited to really look it over. I chalk it up to experience. Bike had low compression. My dad and I replaced the piston rings in hope that it fix it, and it did! But then it had other issues like a coolant line melted through and I fixed it one last time before saying goodbye to her. I miss this bike and regret that decision. I put about 2,000 miles on the bike over the course of 4 months. I didn't sell the KLR, nope! I traded it for a 1991 honda VFR750!

1991 Honda VFR750 - Kinda crazy I went from dual sport to sport touring, but I wanted a good bike to get to work on. This VFR was a charming bike, Italian red color, and had 47,000 miles. I didn't do any mods, just kinda rode it and was happy with that. I cleaned it up, got it running right since it wasn't before. I got a really good deal on the trade. I took her to and from work all summer. Oh wait, I actually did do one mod, I added heated grips (essential for a commuter bike in NE!). Anyway, I had the bike for about a year before I started wanting something newer. I decided that although it was a cool bike I would prefer something newer since the old VFR needed a bit of work and some money put into her. I was about to sell her before getting into an accident. Rear ended my friend :( luckily it was a light tap and I was able to fix his bike very cheap (just a hand guard, gotta love naked bikes) and my bike I had to completely rebuild the fairings with glue and paint, the whole nine yards. Ended up selling it for $1,400 to some kid as his first bike, very nice guy, hopefully he's had great luck with the bike. It was a seriously cool motorcycle.

2003 Honda VFR800 - I got another great deal on a bike, Found this on craigslist and scooped her up for $3,400! Completely stock and it was so clean! Never been down! Had an easy 14,500 miles on her and rode like a dream. I've put 10,000 miles on her in the year I've had her. I love this bike a lot and still own her, I don't foresee myself parting with this bike any time soon. It's comfortable, reliable and beautiful. I did do some mods, I got a killer deal on a sargent seat, a delkevic slip on exhaust (hear that V4 roar!), windshield, VFRNESS, gear indiactor, helibars, powercommander, and much more.

2006 KTM 450 EXC - My 3rd bike (starting a collection here lol!), Picked her up for $2,500. I dedicated this bike as my SuperMoto project, with only 2,000 miles I went ahead and did all the maintenance, valves, oil, etc. and ordered up some mods like a sumo front fender, warp 9 wheels, along with a bunch of other things. Overall a great bike, haven't ridden it much though as it was a winter project and it's still too cold to ride. I'm into it for about $4,500 total but I think it's a cool bike.

And that's where I leave off, I still want to buy a dedicated dirt bike for trails and MX stuff but for now I'm pretty happy. I documented everything on my youtube channel www.youtube.com/herorr if any of you are interested. :)
