Longest you've ever owned a bike for?

[zorroz]

Ok we want facts. No bikes you 'wished' you still owned, just the longest you've ever owned a bike for. I'll start. Not proud to say that after having owned and sold over 120 bikes the longest one I've had is my RM500 for 6 years. Still got it cause its still in pieces awaiting resto! But will never part

Yes well I've had my little Indian ME 125 for about 10 years thats how long its taking me to put it back together    jimson

Ok I'll Play but expect i will be well out of contention for years owned.

My 1986 Honda CR250RG, I still have it and got it in 1987 so that's 23 years nearly. i'm the 2nd owner and the orginal owner is still a very close mate of mine.

The 1970 Maico 350 thats been mine since I bought it new in late '70, which computes that we'll celebrate our 40th anniversary together next year. To mark the occasion, she'll get an engine freshen up and be entered for the Griffith Dirt Track Nats for her last proper race meeting before a life of Garage Queen retirement. The old girls served me and everyone who's raced her very, very well.

[All Things 414]

I've never really thought about it but the bike I've had the longest would be the 414 that I bought in 2006. Other than that I guess after one or two seasons they've always been traded up on the new model. Hmmmm..........

[firko]

And I've owned my race DT1 and other 350 Maico since 1985 so that's 25 years each for them.
