Your favorite STREET bike?

I've had a '13 RSV4 racer, '18 RSV4 Factory LE racer and still have a '16 Tuono RR w/Ohlins suspenders and forged wheels.....Forged wheels on a Tuono takes the 'actively wanting to kill me' feeling to a 'nuther level.

I actually just signed up for Aprilia demo days and am going to demo a new Tuono and RSV4....but mainly interested in the new Tuono.
I have an '18 Tuono RR with RF suspension, upgraded brakes, Marchesini wheels and some other goodies, I swear that thing is more spicy than my '17 RSV4 RF was. I was almost out of gas in the Harley so I rode the Tuono to work today, it was not a boring ride lol.
 
Rode one back to back with the RC30. No contest. Snatchy fuel injection, not nearly as refined as the 30.

The RC45 definitely looked the part and was much rarer than the RC30. There, I said something nice about the RC45, first time for everything I guess. :D

Man, the RC45 that Commonwealth, Ludington and Lombardo built were sano as fuck. '94 it was crap, '95 with My-gal it was a Million dollar missile.
 
My slightly older version....(just turned 40 and I bought it new)View attachment 232046

I got to stare at one of these for motivation nearly three times per day, every day for six and a half weeks as one of the TIs parked his right next to the chow hall entrance. :D At the time, I just knew I'd have one, but it never happened.

My favorite street bike is my current 2012 ZX14 SE (green with flames). She's not going to lose or catch anyone in the twisties, but she's big and comfy enough to ride all day with enough pop to make things entertaining if the feeling hits me. A close second was my '99 ZX9 as it just seemed to do everything very well. We enjoyed a lot of Colorado Rocky Mountain roads together. :beer:
 
Definitely gotta be my 08 hypermotard 1100s. The most fun bike I've ever ridden. Not really fast, but agile, sounds great, all analog. Dosen't get any better for me, and goddamn it's sexy!
This is my all time favorite as well. I see no reason to ever sell this bike. Seat could be more comfortable but I am not a long distance guy anyhow so it does not really matter.
 
Details? I'm not looking but. . .
He took his listing down and is gonna ride it this year then rethink selling it tomorrow.
We just left his house, saw it in his garage and took a pic but it’s too large to upload.
Brand new Ohlins forks and shock, Ivans jetting, Metis rearsets (not on currently), Full Ti Muzzy system, and more I’m forgetting.
