I got one a week after my 17th birthday. It was cool, but didn't realise it was slow compared to 250s. So I bought at GT750 when I was 18. HTF that thing didn't kill me? My pals always told me I was a very fast and safe rider, which pushed me to go racing.

Another I'd like, although there was only a handful made is a Sponsor "Barge" with a GSXR11 motor in it.

For me it's mostly the engine. I'd like to try a aircooled Ducati V twin, The Cagiva Gran Canyon fits the bill and they are unfashionable so cheap, Monsters are too small and older ones too expensive for this tightwad.
