1972 Honda CL-350 Scrambler (SOLD)
This is my Current project bike.  As much fun as it is riding around on my 00 CBR 929RR, I still get a stupid grin from being on these things.  This is how the bike was when I bought it.  I'm working on restoring it back to new right now and am making pretty good progress there.  It runs strong as is and is fully road legal right now so that a step in the right direction.  It's a 325cc inline twin that puts out about 36hp.  Weighing in at 389lbs it's actually heavier than my 929RR is.  I bought it with 13k on the clock.  The reason it's called a "Scrambler" is because this is the early version of a dual sport bike.  It was built to run on the streets and on trails, originally equipped with knobby tires.  Quickest way to spot a Scrambler is by it's high exhaust that exits both pipes along the side of the bike.  This takes all the effort out of burning your inner thigh when you carelessly wear shorts on the bike.....ask me how I know this....
1966 Honda CL-160 Scrambler
This was the original project bike, but lack of parts and a rough running engine pushed this to the side.  It's a neat bike and I'd love to get it back on the road again but with work lately I have lost the time to finish it.  In the end I gave it to my father in payment for the help he gave me with the bike...and for the help he'll give me in restoring my new CL-350 Scrambler.  He has more time and money to finish this project that I do so hopefully we'll have 2 restored scramblers in the family soon.  This one just proved to be too much for me to take on right now.  But to it's credit it does run. 
1990 Honda CBR 600F
This was the bike that started it all for me.  Before throwing a leg over this one, I had never ridden a motorcycle before.  It was in pretty good shape when I bought it with 10k on the clock.  Better starter bikes can be had (with less plastic being a key feature) but all in all I can't complain.  It was an awesome bike and dead reliable to boot.  I put 10k on it in one year of ownership and it never faltered once, flawless time after time.  I could have kept it for a long time but I got a new job and the smell of money made a 00 929RR smell sweeter than my trusty 600F.  Of course who could possibly blame me for trading up!  To anyone who is curious about owning one of these bikes, go for it....you can't go wrong.  Any CBR for that matter is worth it.  Only problem I has was a lowside early in the game.  Went down at 40mph due to some panic braking that locked up the front tire sending the bike down.  I was wearing a Cordura jacket, helmet, gloves, and jeans. I walked away bruised up, but with no scratches whatever on my body....just sore.  Any crash you walk away from like that is a good one.  Just some scratches and cracks to the left side of the bike but still in good running shape.
What's the best way to remove decals from a Bike?  A lowside of course!
Here is what happened from the lowside at 40mph. Just a good scuffing for the most part, a few cracks here and there but it stayed mostly intact.  Some day I'll break down and give the details of the crash..

(update 6/9/01) Ok I give, Here is what happened to cause the above damage.  I'm just going to link to a a page where the info already is as I'm too tired (lazy) to type it out again. 

The Squirrel story

for correction it was more near 40mph instead of 20mph when I went down.  I said 20 because I was feeling stupid for doing 40 down a residential street having just crashed the bike when I wrote that.

Final note on this bike is that the new owner let his 17 year old brother ride it....at which point the brother tried to drive through a truck.  Bike was dead 3 months after I sold it, the brother as I'm aware is still alive....despite what damage the guy may have done to him for wrecking the bike.
