    Spoken like a true statistician/epidemiologist aware of confounding! Well done.

    Only owned one bike unless you count my 'estate' (ie. my parents belongings) in which case there's a Kawasaki, a Honda and a Yamaha in there too.

    Yet. There's plenty of time for more bikes though. And it would seem that the moment you get one - you start planning for the next. What's with THAT? I've had a few cars and I'm never 'looking for the next' one...

    Well that answers my question...

    I don't know which of you jokers :spudflip: added Kawa and exotic other (as the limit for peons seems to be 10 choices) but thanks.

    In any case it's interesting to see what is bought in countries that don't produce their own bikes and vehicles (as far as I know)

    For instance you see more Chevrolet and Cadillac in Switzerland than you do elsewhere ('course they're still working on the Hispano-Suiza)

    Seems like Japanese (generic) seems to be the choice, but the comment on seeing the bike built and questions answered by the tech in the Ducati plant, warmed my Italian heart.

    Thanks.
    Mike.

    You are lucky I noticed this thread as my opinion is one which you can rely on and take as ..... well gospel.
    The best and most favoured, most sought after and certainly the best performer and looker is without question the kawasaki, particulary the ZXR636 2005 model.

    So there you have it, if you have any more questions you now know who to ask.

    Oops, must have been a freudian slip. ,sorry.

    And consider that about half of MotoFastidio drives Guzzi.

    (Half being the one guy that own 32 of them).

    Sorry again, but as most of you must know, there's only 10 choices, and I chose the ones that came to mind most readly.

    Guzzi by the way is another plant that lets people in to see them being built.

    Indeed. A machine repeatedly given a hiding by a trio of Gixxer thou's and a lowly, falling to bits, TL last week. You ARE a star Quaz.

    Yeah. The unquestioning Gixxer fanatics. Not only are they unbiased, but they're normally way out in front of everyone else, therefore they MUST be trustworthy.

    Shouldn't think so. He's got eggs to cook & a roof to paint
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
