Default You Got Options?

After about 26 years on the same bike I thought it was time to update....a Little, with my '94 CBR 1000F. I've seen some members mention owning another bike so I wondered who and what. Is it HONDA ONLY, or a big V-twin tumper, or something to play in the dirt with? So show us what else is in the stable, if you are so lucky to have options.

A new addition to the stable. A very rare 1994 Yamaha GTS1000. Only about 800 in North America. Around 250 1994's.
EFI, ABS, Catalyzer. Oh, and a very unique single sided front swing arm.

CBR1988 -You are my Hero! A garage full of CBX's. I was considering an '81 or '82 before I bought the '94 CBR. Always loved the looks of the Hondaline fairing on those. My plan was to buy one new back in '82 and take my new bride on the honeymoon on the back. She nixxed that plan as she couldn't fit a weeks worth of clothes in one of those little side cases. As I recall my response was something like "How much clothes do you need, it's the honeymoon afterall?" Well 25 years and three kids later we're gonna try this again on the CBR I think.
Thanks for the chronological list, it was a stroll down memory lane of some of the bikes I have lusted after. Put up some pics if you can!

Speaking of pics, I must be a moron as I can't seem to get them to upload even after I followed DevilsReject How-to and got the confirmation window.???
Lets try the 750 pic one more time.
