My short list:
2009 GS500f: good starter bike sold due to lack of zip.
2000 R6: loved the power put on 24,000km in one season. It needed some work and I wanted something a bit more friendly for longer trips so I traded it for...
2012 FZ8N: my all around favorite, love the naked look and I can ride it for 600+km a day and still feel young

1982 Yamaha XV 920 RJ (Euro) Best horns! Too bad this one didn't catch on in the states. Good bike.
2011 Yamaha FZ8
Favorite ... 73 Norton. Had to fiddle with it but when it was in order there was nothing like it.
I was a Norton mechanic back then so keeping it right was no big deal. A sweet awesome ride. I miss it.

Never written a bike off ....famous last words
The 1st bike was when i was 16 , then bought a car ,then found motocross so thats where the 2 kx 125 were bought. Then bought the TS125 R and passed my test, had a couple of road bikes b
ut always enjoyed off road either trials or green laning / enduro hence the 9 KTM'S soon get bored and tend to find the mint bikes (very fussy person) bought the 1st sv 1000s and then my mate liked it so i found him a nicer bike he rode it twice and hated the v twin so i sold mine and bought his I soon miss not having a enduro or trials bike so alwas end up buying another as alot of my mates badger me into buying another.....I have now sold all my off roading gear/trailer/kit as it was too easy to just buy another bike, now i will have to buy everything so that wont happen again.....famous last works lol
Longest bike 2 years , shortest 4 months
The Honda CRM i should have kept, i bought it from a mates dad who owned it for 13 1/2 years
great bike for green laning , just brakes and suspention was poor , but it was a 1990 bike so good for the day.The Honda VFR was bought from a mate and was mint , but i already had a sv 1000s and a er6f abs so got badgered into selling it to a work mate
Most bikes owned at 1 time was 3
I hope the fazer is longer than 2 years .....2 months now so abit to go

Another short list here:
'82 GPZ 750
'85 FZ 750
'11 Fazer
Won't know which one is my favourite until I start riding the Fazer this spring, but I think the Fazer will come out on top...
I have ridden lots of different bikes in the past 4+ years, as I go to Germany twice a year for business and lately I've stayed an extra few days on a some of those trips and rented a bike to ride around Bavaria with my buddy who lives there. To make me feel better as my "owned" list is so short, here's what I've rented:
2008 FZ6
2009 R6
2009 V Star 950
2010 TDM 900
2011 Street Triple
2011 Fazer
2012 Speed Triple
Favourite of those was probably the Speedy...

2006 suzuki drz-sm (motard)
2008 kawasaki Z1000
2011 fz8
and numerous dirtbikes 4 wheelers and 3 wheelers.
the drz was without a doubt the most fun to act like a jackass, but it was too slow on the highway and too uncomfortable for longer rides. so i thought i needed a liter bike. i felt a little irresponsible on it. i was going way too fast. so i think as soon as i can finish the mods i want my 8 should be a happy medium for a while.
