Only got my licence a few years ago so I've only had one bike (bought it before I passed!). It was a 2001 Suzuki SV650S, cracking bike with a very torquey V-twin and a great sound off it. Not the most powerful bike out there but it could still do 0-100 in 8 seconds or so 8-).

Sold it because I planned on buying a 2003 GSX-R 1000, guy selling was 200 miles from me and was totally unaccomodating in terms of arranging times for me to come down, eventually I got p1ssed off with him and pulled the plug on the purchase. So currently bike-less, probably get something next spring.

SV650 is a great first big bike. Comfy, easy to ride, torquey motor, and doesn't have that (scary if you're not experienced) power surge that sports bikes get in the power band...

Bang on! Absolutely perfect as a stepping stone to silly stuff. You just cannot fault them, cracking little bike.

 a FS1E, this was bored to within an inch of its life and had a slight buckle on the front wheel.... when you got to 'hairy speeds' it would vibrate like mad..

RD125 then a RD250, then a RD400, then a CBR600, this was the end of my biking career, the bus drivers in Bristol had just been told to share the bus lane with bikers, and they were not happy, 4 times i was knocked off my bike by bus drivers who would pull out and 'clip' my rear wheel, this would send me spinning off.

Father in law is big into his bikes, only moto guzzis though, he has a Le Mans, Daytona and a new one, Grizo, i think

I started in 1982 with a Lambretta Li 150 YLG 30J, them used that as a deposit on a brand new Vespa P200E GTU 372X. I then got a job in Manchester and travelled between Chester and Manchester and the scooter wasn't the best on the motorway so I got a Honda 250N Superdream (dont laugh) I then passed my car test and the bike went. Then about 4 years ago I bought a restored Yamaha RD 400E in racing yellow it was a bike I had wanted as a kid and loved it but the wife got sick of me vanishing on a Sunday and I was made an offer I coudnt refuse so 18 months ago I sold it. I have just started looking for a good GPZ 900R which I will probably buy in the winter again its a bike I always wanted as a kid

Nice to see a couple of mentions for the ol' RD400.

Still wish I'd kept  the RG500 though.  Throtlle response as follows:

Nothing.....nothing.......nothing........15bhp.......17bhp..100bhp......sky......underpants......nothing.... next gear!
