2010 ktm exc530, that bike is living proof that carbs do work. That carb was so well set up for that bike/engine. Other older favorite? Hands down 1985 yamaha fz750. I was 18 and felt like god on that bike...

My '89 RZ350 & '91 750 Zephyr are two that stand out with nothing but fond memories among the dozens I've owned.

My 2000 Yamaha R1, owned it from new until last year before I defected to a Suzuki GSXR. 14 years of trouble free excitement and thrills, I hope the Suzuki can continue with the reliability I have had with Yamaha.

Rz500 I bought on my 16 birthday was fun. But three months later bought an rg500 it was the bomb. Pipes, minor motor work and 5th gear power wheelies. Liked it so much I bought 4 more.

The last carb'd bike I owned looked a lot like this:

I've been out of the game way too long though. The next bike after that was an injected 2014 CBR500R

I've still got a 79 RM125. That things fast with no suspension or brakes.

That's funny. My first real dirt bike with power was a rm 80 and I remember thinking as a kid a few times it was going to kill me lol

Nice. Mine was a 1980. I think it was ~27HP or so. Pretty good power for a bike weighing 195-lbs. The following year they went to the "full floater" rear suspension and water cooling. I remember lusting so badly after those...

+1 for first gen R1.
My favorite has to be my 98 R1 and my second favorite was my old 79 CX500- the one photographed here with my R1 is a 1980 CX500 though

 

[SiNNeR]

[MacDoc]

KLR650 - works all the time - never let me down.

 

[Zoodles95]
