What's the best bike you have ever ridden?

The other day i rode my friend's 2006 Stab Supreme, an upgrade on his Demo 9. I wanted to know what the best bike everyone has ever ridden is.
I want Stab Supreme...
So...?

The best full suspension bike I have ever ridden would have to be an Ellsworth Truth. My favorite hardtail so far has been an Ellsworth Enlightenment. The best roadie I have ever ridden is the Independent Fabrication Ti Crown Jewel.

i rode a Trek Liquid a while back that struck my fancy, i still like the feel of mine best though. Not a MTB but I rode a Trek Madone 5.9 (i think), it was a sweet ride

The most expensive bike was a S-Works Enduro with a XTR build & Fox 36. I can't say it was "best" bike because I couldn't jdge much from the 20 minutes test ride in the city. I have no idea how it rides in the mountains.

Holy crap. You friend must have some money in his pocket. But so far the best one I have ever rode around was the Norco Torrent. That's becuase I have only riden like 8 bikes. And 5 of those were mine, and I broke them all lol.

*sigh* probably my GF's litespeed ti with Dura Ace. <jealous> But that's a road bike.

Otherwise, my Stumpjumper FSR w/ X.O parts, XTR cranks, HFX-9 carbon brakes, and American Classic Wheels. I know there are lots better MTBs out there, but I think it's the best one I've ever ridden.
