The very first GS1000s reg FMV 148V owned for the longest 14 years & my favourite by a long way, only sold it because I didn't have a choice & if I hadn't sold it then I would still have it, I was obsessed with that bike no question of that

Running a very close second was the 350 torque induction, owned a little over a year & used all the time, I only realised how bloody good it was after i'd sold it, that should have been another keeper
