Now I'm curious who on TMW has, if not the rarest bike, maybe the rarest brand. Off the top of my head, it might be Gummiente and his Ural, but who knows?

I'm sure this is going to be easily beat but:
Neither brand is rare! haha. But the models kinda are.
Currently: Own a 2001 Kawasaki ZR750F (Rare in Canada/USA but just uncommon here)
Rarest Owned: 1982 Yamaha XJ650R (YICS version, just 1 year made, 960 produced in Canada)

KTM Superduke - but last year I sold a Xingue 110 (hardly an exotic, but rare

)

Gummi no longer qualifies unfortunately.
I might be in the mix here. 1993 Suzuki Bandit 400. 1300 imported into the entire North American continent, and the 1993 was a completely separate year. Mine is serial number 00058.

I've got a BMW Rockster Edition 80. Not a rare brand of course, but only 2,003 Ed 80s were made (only 200 in the US). It's just a variant of the Rockster though, and I suspect those aren't rare. The Ed 80 isn't even rare on TMW; Lion Lady's got the exact same model
Anyone out there with something like a Moto Morini, Royal Enfield, Husqvarna, or Benelli?
