My favorite:
2014 YZ250. Easy to work on and gives me the old feelings of riding a smoker. Couldn't find this on a KTM.
2013 Honda CRF250. Great chassis for the 250F (not as good on the 450). Turns great and a perfect bike once set up
2008 Honda CRF450. Same thing as everybody else. Nothing to explain here
2017 KTM450SXF with cone valves/ traxx shock. Great bike that never gave me any issues.

2002 yz125, just epic. back in 02 this was the bike to have in my eyes.
i've loved all my bikes for different reasons but these bring back the best memories
2006 YZ250f. Took me awhile to get it set up right. rad lowering kit applied triple clamps FC revalve lots of jetting changes later, fastest I've been.
2018 YZ450 couple small tweaks and this things money.
2005 KX 250 smoker: know this thing like the back of my hand. Been to hell and back with it; been a pain in the ass at times, but fun as shit to ride.
2004 KX 125 smoker: last years winter project. Never in my life have I seen a bigger piece of shit used motorcycle, which only got worse as I framed it. Spent way too much money on it trickin it out to ever sell it, plus....its fun as shit to ride.
2015 RMZ 450: tougher than a tank. It's there, sitting on the stand in my garage, in case I ever feel the need to ride it again.
All paid for and the two Kawis have way more money into them than I could ever get out of selling them.
I think the dumbest bike I've ever had was my 2004 CR 250f. Honda's first year with the "lites" 4 stroke.
Other notables that I liked: 1994 KX 125 and Denny Stephenson's 1996 GW KX 125 outdoor mx bike. I really wish I still had that one!
2012 crf450, that bike was so dialed it was hard to get rid of
2017 yz250. No explanation, sold it to put down payment on a boat. Oh well. My boat is bad ass.
2018 yz450f. This bike might be long term.. 72 hours and about to do a top end. Zero issues.
2014 YZ450- Loved this bike too. Unreal motor and handled really well.
2017 RMZ450(Currently riding)- Motor is so smooth and usable! Still breaking it in, about 90 minutes on the bike. Turns like a dream. Good handling. Feels planted and I feel confident riding it.
My 2005 CRF 450 is a close second- I joined the four stroke movement and also started racing in the vet +30 class on that bike with a lot of success. Great bike for its time.
My 2005 CRF450 was also a great bike. I did a lot of work on it and took good care of it. Won a lot of races on it and hated to see it go but I sold it to get a 2009 CRF450. I liked it a lot but not enough to put on the list.
Most memorable was a 2009 Service Honda CR500AF. That bike was the most trick two wheels I ever threw a leg over. Conversations for days. It took me a solid year to learn to race it so it's not here because I loved to ride/race it but it was special.
Lastly, my 2012 KTM250SX. After ten years on big four-strokes that thing was a breath of fresh air. Plenty of power and light compared to the thumpers. Pulled a lot of holeshots and won some races on it too. On a motocross track, it did everything well.
2005 CRF450
2017 KX250F. - very confidence inspiring with a pipe.
2017 CRF450
Pit Row
I still have it, and use it to cut new trail on the regular. It has had the absolute shit kicked out of it for years, and the chassis is stretched and shot...But it still gets the job done.

My '11 RMZ450 is a close 2nd to my RM. I'll have this bike til it says no mas.
Bikes over the past few years that I've owned since I came back after my bad wreck , and really liked a lot.
08' CRF450.....bike was awesome except for the suspension wasn't all that great.
10' YZF450.....Not a bad bike , but I only owned it a few months.
12' KXF450......Bike was super freakin' strong and I really liked that bike!
16' KXF450......Loved this bike , but got to the point where I didn't want / need anything this fast any more.
2006 RM250......THIS bike , made me fall back in love with 2 strokes and the sport! Best purchase ever!
2017 TC125.....Same feeling as my RM , God I love this little bike and will always own a 125!
2018 TC250......New to the stable. Only 1.5hrs on it so far , but I'll be digging it a bunch too.
First race bike I really had and first bike I rode track on. Before this, it was all just riding when going camping or desert trips, etc. So it kinda started everything. But it had a lot of work done by pro circuit, including the suspension. It carved turned, had a strong mid range pull, just everything about that bike was tits.
Once I get a new 450 sorted, I'm tempted to look for an old smoker project.
