I have never owned a motorcycle with...

[KungFooBob]

Cheesy thread alert.

It occurred to me, I've had everything from 1-4 cylinders, 50-1200cc's, twin and monoshock, liquid and air cooled, RWU and USD forks, but I've never had a motorcycle with a radio/stereo or more than 4 cylinders.

What haven't you had?

Max points if you've never owned an IL4 or something water cooled.

A boxer engine
An adventure bike
A generic commuter bike
A German bike
A British bike
Anything pre 1985

Oh, I've never had a boxer either!

Had all the rest tho'

East and West German

[mangocrazy]

An inline 4 cylinder engine.

I was 71 last birthday and have been riding bikes since I was 16.

I've never owned an adventure styled bike,but I've ridden some and detested them in every way.

Never owned a British bike.
Never owned anything Italian.
Never own a bike that wasn't from the big four Japanese manufacturers.

It'll be 50 years on bikes.next year.

Wait, isn't Austria interchangeable with Germany

I came close a few times, but something always stopped me. Was toying with the idea of a ZX7R and also a GSXR750, but bought something else instead. Can't see me ever owning one now. I rode a mate's CBR600RR and it just felt like a food processor. Or a washing machine on spin cycle.

[Cousin Jack]

No boxers
No triples (I have ridden them though)
No Goldwings.

I would like to rectify all of these omissions, sadly the Goldwing will almost certainly elude me.

[Mr. Dazzle]

A two stroke (unless you count a moped).

[MingtheMerciless]

Boxer
German
Italian
Honda(over my rotting corpse, NSRV500 excepted)
Triple

[Ditchfinder]

Boxer engined
Water cooled 2 stroke
Il 4.(borrowed my dad's for 3 months though)
A fully faired bike
An off road / adventure bike, although more than 1 has been taken off road
Over 100 hp
A post unification German bike

Given how few bikes I've owned (5!) I'm surprised the list isn't longer to be honest.

[demographic]

No boxers.
No adventure bikes.
No v twins.
No four stroke triples, or two stroke triples that ran.

[KungFooBob]

This should have been a poll. Boxers would be least popular, which is odd as the R1100/1150/1200/1250 GS has to be one of the most popular selling family of bikes ever!

[mangocrazy]

Realised that my exclusion list is longer than first thought. So no:

German bikes
Triples (I would like to rectify this)
British bikes (old or new)
Adventure bikes
Off-road bikes (I accept that this is a major failing on my part)
Overweight, over-specified touring bikes

And, of course, IL4s of any description...

[Whysub]

Dymag or Astrolite wheels.

BMW, Suzuki, KTM, Ducati (or anything else Italian) badges.
