I have ridden many many, perhaps hundreds of bikes.
There are a few that stick out as really really fun to ride.

Top of the list goes to the good old.
RZ350
Then the list gets weird.
I would go with
Ducati 1200 Monster.
Ducati Super motard

And of course the RC51.

Looking at my list..........
I love twins I guess. Most inline 4's just don't do it for me. Nothing can beat the blast of a V-twin with the front wheel in the air.
 
5th gen VFR. Even though I sold my first one last year, had to pick up another a year later. Nice smooth powerband, all-day comfort, and really one of the sweetest sounding bikes around.

2 people have mentioned the Ducati Hypermotard. Mine as well. Had it since new back in August '07 and it still puts a wide grin on my face. Although my Husky comes in a close second.
 
My Hypermotard S model was a ton of fun while i had it.But as a fave ride i have to say it was my old 1979 Honda XL250S.That old sled did everything from six hour MX to tour Ontario.

Kawasaki ZX-11D or Triumph Daytona T595. The ZX is not that powerful by today's standards, but I will always remember it as feeling like riding a fighter jet. That sounds kinda lame maybe, heh. And the Daytona was just a monster. It got a lot of attention (from riders & non-riders), rode better the faster you rode it, and sounded incredible. (It was also built like crap, nostalgia hasn't glossed over that part yet)
 
I only ridden 4 bikes so far....

1. CBR125
2. Ninja300
3. CBR500
4. CBR600 F4i ( Around a parking lot!)

...And nothing can compare(so far)to the first time I went upto third gear on my CBR 125 on a parking lot at RTI!
 
My favourite bikes Ive ridden in order;

Aprilia RS250
Honda RVF400
Suzuki TL1000R (well sorted one)
 
Hmmmph - too hard...

Best all around Burgman 650 exec - from twisties to grocery shopping to traffic to cross country touring does it all in comfort, never breaks.

Prefer it over my ST1100

tho the 1100 is a rush.

Fav perhaps Honda 305 Hawk...first love n'all

305-Superhawk-1.jpg

Preferred it over the Yamaha 250 I got after it. Yamaha hit the pipe nicely tho.
But close second is the RD400...the reviews at the time called it "perfect". Many enjoyable rides - tho liked to foul the plugs.

Best offroad..Bultaco Sherpa 250 trials tho the little Honda and Yamaha 125 trialers hang in there. Not me but what trial riders aspired to...

Does a bit of everything and never quits....KLR650 = poor thing - waiting patiently stripped down in Australia

Worst bike....
Allstate via Czechslovakia 2 stroke 45 cc smoker...
Close second Ducati 160

Scariest bike
Kawi 2 stroke 750 triple....
