Hmmm. I'm currently obsessed with the tiddler bikes, (partly because they don't require me to do the now three part full motorbike license here in the UK.) My list is:

Bridgestone BS-50 Sport (Got it but currently still in parts.)
Bridgestone BS-60 (since I heard they just kept going and rarely failed.)
Bridgestone BS-100 (Cos it's probably the biggest bike I'd be able to drive without being scared.)
Suzuki AS-50 Maverick (There's just something about the styling that is so cool! I also understand that you need to really push it through the gears so it'll be fun and nifty.)
Yamaha FS1E (If there was one that didn't have pedals. Pedals are just so not cool :-)

That's my ten cents worth. Probably a girlies perspecetive.

As long as you don't hang streamers off the grips or put a pink basket on the front, you'll be just fine!  ;D

I don't know if I have a solid top five in mind, but I have a soft spot for a 1977 Suzuki RM250 or 370.  Also those old Bultaco's bring back childhood memories.  I don't have any of them though.  Too much attention tied up into my Bridgestone.

As a kid, I would have killed for a Honda XR75!  I remember looking at those ads and dreaming.

My choice of 5 motorcycles I'd like to own?

Well I think I've done pretty good as I have them, being realistic I don't want a Brough Superior or the like. I like the bikes from the early seventies that were available in my late teens but simply couldn't afford one at the time.

My number one bike is the Kawasaki KH400 as I always wanted a triple, as the best all round triple this was the one for me.

Being a motorcyclist who likes to be different I also wanted a Suzuki RE5, as there are two models I have them both.

Suzuki T125 Stinger, just the prettiest little bike I've seen, got one.

Now the Bridgestone GTR, a rare bike from a manufacturer that no longer produces motorcycles but is a household name, got one.

Other contenders could be the Honda CBX 1000 or most definitely the Kawasaki Samurai or Avenger. :)

1.  Top of the list, my 350 GTR, bought it new, finally restored 44 years later.
All the rest are basically interchangable, I've never met a motorcycle I didn't like in one way or another!
2.  Kawasaki ZG1400, no explaination, I just like the bike!
3.  Munch Mammoth, for something completely different!
4.  Kawasaki KLR650, sort of a back to simplicity bike, and something to dream about Alaska on.
5.  1965 Harley, last of the panheads, first electric start if I've got my history right
6.  Do I have to stop?  I could go on and on, and just list every bike ever built!

Sorry, Mike's RC174 is already spoken for!. I've already made room in my garage for it. All I need to do now is find one and raise the half a million to pay for it.

My other 4 dream bikes are :-

Yamaha RA-31A (125cc V-four Works racer)
Bridgestone EJR-2 (50cc GP racer)
Lilac MF39 (300cc V-twin)
Tohatsu LD-3 (125cc twin)

What do you mean - No Chance? I guess I'll hve to stick with the Bridgestones then.
