Hmmm....a head-scratcher, this is.
My brother-in-law's 1963 Honda Cub step-through ~2000 miles (yes, they WERE painful)
My first bike, a new 1965 Honda Benly 150 ~ 6000 miles (a great little bike)
My second bike, a new 1967 Honda Dream 305 ~10,000 miles (and what an evil handling brute it was, after riding the Benly)
My third bike, a new 1970 Honda CB750K0 ~30,000 miles (I've never lusted after anything like I did for that Honda, before or since....even including the women in my life
)
Various dirt bikes (all Suzukis) that I rode from 1974 until I got back into street biking in 1988 ~5000 miles (Yeah, I know, I really shouldn't count the miles on dirt bikes.....rather maybe 5000 HOURS.....
)
My fourth bike, a "brand new" 1976 Suzuki GT550 (bought in 1988) which currently has ~6000 miles on it (when I got it, it had 660....yes 660....miles on it)
My fifth bike, an all original 1982 Suzuki GS750E which I bought in 1998 and which was a very faithful steed ~ 30,000 miles. I'm still sorry I sold it, but I just didn't have the room for it AND the new Bandit.
My sixth bike, a totally rebuilt 1973 Kawi H2A, ~ 8, 000 miles since putting it back on the road in 2002 (yes, these were painful miles too)
My seventh bike, my new '06 B12S which currently has about 5000 miles on it since the middle of May, 2006.
Hey...the Bandit is lucky number 7 in my pantheon of street bikes.....if you include my brother-in-law's Cub (which I rode wayyyy more than he ever did anyway). There must be some kind of cosmic significance happening here, especially since my frame number ends in 7.......
