How many xj's have you owned?

as well as other bikes? Honestly, I've counted over 50 bikes I've owned total, I'll put down some of the most notable (just for the sake of the post, I've owned 2 xj550s, 2 xj 650s, 2 xj750s, 1 xj700 air head, and 3 xj700max x's {one of which resides with my father, and one resides with me})
Among the noteable, and ones I wish to have in my stable some day again are (in no specific order)
1982 xj750 (have one right now)
1985 xj700 x (have one right now)
1986 Honda magna vf700c (just picked one up running for $500)
1994 Honda vfr 750 (all time favorite bike, hands down)
1999 Honda f4
1999 Honda vfr 800
One of my most notable finds was a wrecked xj650 with another bike with it. I remember finding the factory carbs IN THE BOX, and I paid $250 for the entire lot (it included two bikes, extra frame, extra wheels, forks, and perfect guages)

what about you folks??

 

Only 4 in the last 2 years:

1980 XJ650 Maxim 11kmi
1982 XJ650 Turbo 19kmi
1980 XJ650 Maxim 22kmi
1982 XJ550 Maxim 7.6kmi

A 3 XS's, an XV a CB a GL and a couple Rebel 250's as well in the last 3 years and then there were the dirt bikes and 4wheelers prior to that.

In order of appearance at my house starting in 1985 to now
82 XJ750

85 honda Rebel 250( my wifes first)
72 Bultaco Alpina 250
80 XS1100
82 XJ1100
85 XJ700 X
Still Have:
79XS
80XS my daily ride
82XJ for my wife
85 XJ700 X
72 Bultaco
and at least 2 complete XJ and XS1100 in parts

 

I started with a CB650 Custom, which turned me off Hondas to this day.

Then it was a GS550E, a GT380 two stroke triple, a GS1000S with an 1100E motor, a Seca 900, a Seca Turbo, my current GS1100E and the lateset, an XS650 Heritage Special, which I may or may not keep, seeing as I have been offered 3X what I paid for it already. I seem to be stuck on old Yamahas and Suzukis, although I have always liked Kawasakis.

My ultimate XJ would be the 650 Seca with a Maxim X or 900 motor in it. I saw one with a Maxim X motor in it once on the old XJ Owners website gallery. It was drool-worthy.

 

CB750 four
KZ1100
VF1100s

I've had my Norton since it was brand new, and other notables are in my sig. Too many bikes over the past 43 years to list them all.

I really wish I had hung onto the '72 Triumph 500.
