Too many to list, but my current ride is a 2014 Ducati Monster 1200.

It's a beautiful bike, but I'm going to find it a new home, and go back to the Japanese stuff. I've had a ton of issues with it, and wouldn't trust it on a ride longer than a few hundred kilometers within a reasonable flat deck range. It's a shame, Italian design is amazing, Italian engineering is horrid. It really killed my passion for riding, as it was in the shop so much with weird issues, and the thing only has 4800 kms on it.

Once I get off it, I'll hunt down the nicest 2007 Honda VFR anniversary available anywhere, and make it my ride for the next 20 years. They are simple the best all around motorcycle ever made. I've never done anything but change oil on any Honda I've every owned. Never had a major issue, never had fear of a long trip, and a=they have always had remarkable fit and finish.
