For me, it was quite a number of years back, but a friend let me borrow his RC30, (‘89 VFR750R), for a Sunday burn. The titanium Pankl conn rods had that thing spinning up quick, man was that fun. (Stock foto from search).

This is a very nice bike to ride.

I got to test ride a MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR and a Triumph Speed Triple 1200. Those two were wild.

Rented a Buell XB12s last summer off riders share. The handling was great, but the best part about it was the ergonomics - it is the best bike to put a knee down i've ever experienced. The way you can hook your knee to the tank was simply natural to me, I can't explain why.

Also sounds amazing

Suzuki RG500, and I don't mean the street version, but an ex FIM race bike.

Unfortunately, it ended up in 2 main pieces, and lots of smaller ones, after losing the rear coming out of the chicane at Pocono. 😖

Coolest bike I've ridden would be the NC30, the 400cc version of the RC30.

Not sure if this is the coolest I have ever ridden...I've been lucky enough to have had some fun bikes over the years. H2, RDs, CR500s, etc.
But...this is certainly the fastest! Kawasaki 1224 Turbo. It's an absolute blast to ride!

Are you referring to the FUSA track? I’ve mainly only done the East course, but did FUSA once.

Whoa…!
I've had a few cool bikes over the years. RZ500, RZ350 with a full Toomey kit, CB400F, a very highly modded RD350 . But the one I still have, i.e. the only classic that didn't get sold to feed the racing addiction, is a 1980 GS1000S.

I always thought that a "Wes Cooley Replica" S would look great next to my Eddie Lawson Replica. :D

Couldn't agree more. How much are you selling it for?? :)

Kidding aside, that's a beautiful bike.

Now now, don't be that way. I've even got the same Rust-Oleum epoxy on my garage floor, so it will feel right at home!! :D

My most exotic ride was my FZR 750RR OW01.
I loved that motorcycle. Just brilliant.

Buddy bought a brand new 1986 GSXR750LE and let me take it for a spin back in the day. The OEM dry clutch and solo seat was mind blowing to me back then. Loved that bike!

Suzuki RG500.
Not the streetbike version, an ex-FIM race bike. Unfortunately I crashed it and broke it into 2 main pieces and lots of little ones. :cry:

First rode it nearly a quarter century ago, and still riding it today.

Nothing else even comes close.
