Loved them all and puts lots of miles on most. Only two I miss are the ST1100 - rock solid dependable and go anywhere anytime; and my Triumph T100, underpowered good looking classic. Only regretted selling it after getting into sidecars and realizing the potential that Triumph had.
Learned to ride on a 68 CL350 I bought for $375 in 1971 when I moved to NC as a senior in high school. Wow! Total freedom - lived in the country near nothing and rode the tires off that beast. Farm roads, fire roads, trails and endless miles of countryside.
Bought bigger bikes as the years passed and kept riding. Never lost the love of motorcycling. Never ever felt the same about a car and don't miss any of them, can barely remember most but can reminisce for hours about the motorcycles and rides we took.
Back to Honda again for the rock solid no surprises engineering.
