I can try to list them all but I'll be darned if I remember the manufacturer year on all of them.
Starting in 1967
Omega 125 cc (a product of Kawasaki before they made Kawasakis)
175 Kawasaki
Kawasaki H-1 (60 horsepower in 350 pounds of bike)
305 Honda "dream" (stamped metal frame on that one)
500 trophy Triumph
1965 R-60 BMW (I still have it)
1981 Honda CX500-C (V twin water cooled shafty)
2007 Yamaha 1300 cc (V-4 water cooled shafty)
2010 Electra glide Ultra classic
2011 FLTRU with only 5800 miles so far.

I still own the BMW, the CX500-C, and the Yamaha. The Yamaha is going on sale tomorrow, it has been replaced because of pillion ride comfort, not performance or my own comfort.
