1981(?) yamaha special II (650)-college bike, rode the heck out of it, had the engine rebuilt once...bought it for 800 bucks and sold it for 450 bucks.
1990-something yamaha seca (900)-bought it from a navy guy who bought it overseas and had it shipped back to the states...I loved that bike. Sold it for 800 bucks and a colt python .357 pistol...regretted it ever since.
2005 m50 black (805)....made me forget about the seca.

1992 Piaggio Vespa PK50XL2 (50ccm 2-stroke roller, 3 horsepower)
2002 Honda Varadero XL125V (125ccm 4-stroke V-2, 15 horsepower)
2003 Suzuki GSX 1400 (1402ccm 4-stroke I-4, 106 horsepower)

I put more than 11,000 miles on the Vespa over 8 years (was used to commute to/from work during the summer). In 2 years, I put about 5000 miles on the Honda, then stepped up to the Suzuki 2 years ago. I've put about 7500 miles on the Suzuki so far (1 1/2 seasons), and I'm looking forward to a long season this year...
