I've got an old XR250 that I don't ride much, but I would if I had more time and money. I really enjoy riding. The kids are after me to get something for them, so there may be a CR50 or XR70 (or both) in the near future if I can scrounge up the dough.

2001 Honda XR650L for me. Love the bike, but thinking about selling it and getting a hot tub. If I keep it I want to silence it. Only off-road place for me to ride is the national forest, and sometimes I accidently find myself somewhere I probably shouldn't be. If anyone can suggest a quiet pipe for it, I would appriciate it. I really don't care about losing power, cause I just mainly putt around.

At least Harley riders look and sound cool going from point a to point b. Not like those rice burners that sound like a peeved weed wacker.
Ride a 1995 883 Sportster. Hope to buy a 1200 Roadster here shortly.

2001 Suzuki RM125 & RM100
I have a 2001 Suzuki RM125 that has about 10 -15 hours of running on it. Shortly after buying it, I lost my riding spot and haven't been able to find one within 50 miles of Detroit. Now, I just take it for an occasional spin around the block to wake up the neighbors. 
I bought my first bike back in 1974. It was an old Yamaha 250 streetbike. I didn't have my license yet, so I used it as a trail bike. Man was that thing heavy. I wiped out on it the day before I started my senior year of HS and misssed the first day of my senior year while I was recovering from a concussion. It was then that I came to the realization that I wasn't disciplined enough for a streetbike and would eventually kill myself if I kept the bike so I didn't get another bike for almost 30 years...and NOT a streetbike.

I'm dying to get a bike of some sort. I have an old polaris quad that I fart around on when I find the time to fix it. Evertime I ride it something else goes wrong. Anyways that thing is teasing me to ride, the wind in my face, etc. The bike that I'm looking at is a Kawasaki Ninja 250. Yes I know its a small bike but I'm a small guy(5'2") and its hard for me to find a bike that I fit on. I'm not looking for anything that will do 200mph either I just want something that I can cruise around back roads on, maybe ride thru some twisties pretty good, and have have a little fun on. The 250 should be plenty fast enough for me and they handle great to.
