I like to ride as many different bikes as I can. With so many bikes out there, why not? My question to you all is...of the bikes you have ridden, what is your favorite motor?

So far mine are...
TWINS
My Triumph Bonne 994 with cam kit,flat side carbs and running around 90hp
Ductai GT1000, nice motor, if it was out when I had my bonne built I'd probably be on the Ductai site right now.
Ductai 1198, what a beast

TRIPLES
Triumph Sprint 09, great all around motor,great note

INLINE FOUR
Bmw k1200rs, smooth and powerful

Hard to beat a 955 triple. I do like twins tho--that's next for the stable.

I used to think that the 955 triple was the best motor on a bike. That was until I bought a Rocket III. Still a triple but 2294 cc's is way cool.

I probably shouldn't be saying this here, but I absolutely love old Kawasaki air cooled fours. Totally bulletproof, plenty of low down power (which you don't get with modern revvy fours), nice and simple to work on... And they have slide carbs!! I like slide carbs!!

Hmmm, must get my old Zed back on the road!

This being a Triumph forum (), let me just say that I am totally enjoying the Bonnie too! I just haven't had to delve into its inner workings yet, so can't pass judgement on what it's like to work on...

1050 Triple. Better than than the 955 and 900 triples.

I also like my parallel twin Bonneville.

I`m quite partial to big singles too, like the F650, Aprilia Pegaso etc.

Not into fours, owned plenty of litre Jap Sportsbikes, not my thing anymore.

Not really into motors that you have to rev to get the most out of, old enough to worry about anything getting into five figures. Just like things with torque.
Favorite is Honda V4. Once had a VFR750F at the same time as my VFR750R and the F with a Two Brothers slip on made my spine tingle, the R with a full Yosh race system didn't.
Kept the R though.

Motors are like women, there is something you can find to like about nearly all of them.
