Bikes that stood out

I tested almost 140 bikes in an 18-month period. These are the ones I revisit in my memories

Aprilia Mana (scooter technology in a bike that works brilliantly)
Aprilia Street Triple 675 (small, light, characterfull)
Aprilia Daytona 675 (as above with added aggression)
Buell 1125 (ugly as hell, but the performance-price ratio is unbeatable for a twin)
BMW F650 (2008) (small and friendly, yet fun and exciting)
BMW K1200GT (no wonder the K1200R and S feel compromised. This is the real K12)
Ducati Desmocedici (I am the first local journalist to ride a MotoGP replica!)
Ducati Sport 1000 (a riot on two wheels)
Ducati 996SPS (A dream come true. This bike got me into biking)
Kawasaki ZRX1200 (old school technology have no right to be so much fun)
Harley Davidson Streetglide (Beat this: filtering through peak hour traffic with Linken Park on the speakers)
Harley Davidson Nightrod Turbo (Lighting Rod) (fast and serene. And I like the VROD anyway)
Honda Fireblade RR8 (handles like a 600)
Suzuki GSX-R750 (balance with a capital B)
Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster (the freeflow pipes made all the difference)
Yamaha R1 (the only Japanese bike to have soul and charisma)

Scooters
Suzuki Burgman 650 (it’s a better tourer than a BMW R1200RT!)
Jonway Spray 125 (the only Chinese scooter I could 120kph on!)

Worst (not counting the Chinese cheapies)
Aprilia Shiver (awkward handling and fuelling. How did it get past quality control?)
BMW R1200S (heavy, heavy, and compromised as a sportsbike and tourer)
Buell Lightning XB12S (ditch the Harley motor for something that revs, and will make sense)
