Well ferret, in the interest of keeping the thread going, I'll chip in. However, since most of my riding was done on dirt bikes in my youth, I don't have a lot to contribute. (I do have a soft spot for old HondaXR75's and wouldn't mind restoring one some day just for fun.) So, while I am 51 years of age, I've only been riding on the street for the past six years. By default, my favorite street bike would have to be my only street bike, up until three months ago that is: my 1988 Honda Hawk GT. The Hawk is a fantastic little bike that was way abead of its time. Obviously, like most here I'm loving the CB1100, but I'm really looking forward to spending more time with the bike as it crosses the threshold from "new bike" to "old friend". Just like my Hawk GT.
