Updated Comments: Shoutout to my readers! What's on your five favorite production bikes of all time list?

A few observations,   RC30's are more popular than I thought and I'm not alone in my love of old 2 strokes
Since I've started my five all time favorite production bikes series I figured I put out a request for what the readers like.  I'll keep this post pinned to the top and copy and paste your choices as they come in one by one. Here is what I'd like to do, Either respond to this post in the comments section or E-mail me directly at superduckz@gmail.com

Give your name (full or first name only if that's all you're comfortable with) and your five bikes listed
1. Make, Model, and Year (color optional)
2. Make, Model, and Year (color optional)
3. Make, Model, and Year (color optional)
4. Make, Model, and Year (color optional)
5.  Make, Model, and Year (color optional)

Anything goes.  Old, new, dirt, street, sprotbike or cruiser. It's your list.  I'll go through my e-mail every evening and update the posts as they go along.  I'm interested to see if there are any consistent themes etc..

I have no idea how many (or few) of you want to get in on this so it may take off or it may just go flat.  We'll see.
For the record so far my list has:
1. Ducati 916 Red
2.BMW R100 GSPD
3. 1969/70 Kawasaki H1
4. Vincent Black Shadow / Black Lightning
5. Moto Guzzi V7 Sport (the original one not the modern one)

1.  1969 - Kawasaki Mach III - white
2.  1968 - Kawasaki A7 Avenger - Red
3.  1984 - Yamaha RZ-350 - Yellow
4.  1969 - Honda 750 - Green
5.  1968 - Suzuki X-6 Blue
I have owned bikes 2 and 4 in the past and wished I still owned them.  The Kawasaki A-7 I pu a little over 70,000 miles on.  The Honda 750 I put over a 100,000 miles on.   I still own the RZ-350 Yamaha.  The Mach III and the X-6 were owned by friends of mine but I rode them extensively.  I currently own a 1978 BMW R100/7, the RZ-350 Yamaha, an SP-500 Suzuki, and a KZ-400 Kawasaki.  In case you did not notice my first love is TWO STROKES.
( Steve D: I'm with ya Gary.  You guys already have me rethinking my choices a little bit.  I have my first 3 which are locks but the last two are getting tough.)Tony240Z
