For me it's the '05 CRF450.. that bike just worked so well for me on the track or offroad.

Also loved my XR600R. Handled so good for a porker.

VFR800 for street... such a dream to ride

Guess I'm a Honda guy!

2008 YZ250F. Amazing suspension right out of the box, unsurpassed reliability, and a motor that was great for my skill level at the time.

My 2004 KTM EXC300 was the best bike I have owned, for me, in 40 years. It was magic offroad and worked very well riding MX as well.

I used to think my 2007 crf450 was the best until I rode my current 2012 rmz450. The rmz is just so amazing, you can turn the front end and the rest just follows perfectly.

Everyone raves about the '93 cr250...but I got along real well with my '94 cr250. I lived everything about that bike.

I also really like my 09 yz450. It works amazing for off road...and is a huge improvement in turning AND stability over the 06crf250 that she replaced in the stable.

I really loved and gelled with my 1985 RM250. My 87 cr125 was incredible too. As far as more modern bikes go, my current bike, a 2006 RM250 does it all we'll.

Dirt: 2004 RM125. Bike ripped and handled amazingly. Such a fun bike to ride. Stupidly, I sold it last summer because I wasn't riding enough.

Street: 2005 Ducati S4R. Absolutely incredible bike all around...great seat/bar/peg relationship, outstanding torque, cool factor, sounds incredible. Hope I'm smart enough to hang onto this one.

1987 CR125 with one of Rick Ryan's national bike cylinders on it. It had a lot of mid range for a 125. Great times on that one!

Yes, even in White. This is a Great Scoot & it allows me to focus on my lines.

Smile Thanks Man-ny. Can't believe I'm doing this but... #HappyDrunk.Laughing I feel like Greg Moss, after watching my nephew on his Husqvarna CR50. Best bike I've ridden? Put me down for the PW 50 too. 18 years between my PW and my nephew's PW–same bike, same result... We love MX.

I liked my 05 CRF 450 so much that after three other bikes in the years after, I just picked up an 06 CRF 450 last month. 05-08= outstanding!
