1973 Yamaha CT3 175cc 1985
1982 Yamaha IT465 1985-1989
1986 Yamaha FZ750 1986-87
1988 Yamaha FZR1000 1987-88
1989 Kawasaki Concours 1989-90
1989 Yamaha FJ1200 1990
1980 Suzuki GS1100 1991
1991 BMW R1000RS 1991
1977 Kawasaki KZ650B 1993-current
1978 Kawasaki KZ650B 1994-current
1980 Kawasaki KZ1000ST 2000-current
1984 Honda GL1200 2002-2008
2008 Honda GL1800 2008-current
2008 Yamaha WR250R 2009

Not counting any of my parts bikes, too many sitting around. I mostly miss my old 70s Yamaha enduros, those were good bikes. 2008 Yamaha WR250R does not compare favorably to a old two stroker I'm afraid. Yamaha FJ1200 and the XT500 were my 2 biggest dissappointments.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I'm curious about what's bad with the XT and also what made the DT better than the WR! Other than the XT600 being worn out it was a bike that gave me great pleasure. I know there are very little in common between the 500 and 600, but the XT was very popular in its time.
