What bike did you 'lust' after?

Back in the 70s I was just a kid into dirt bikes with no real aspirations of riding on the street. So while I admired many of the bikes already mentioned in this thread, I wouldn't say that I "lusted" after any of them. By the time I entered college, I had more or less stopped paying attention to bikes and those that I did notice seemingly had little appeal to me. That all changed in 1988 when Honda released the Hawk GT. It was definitely lust at first site. I came oh so close to buying my first street bike back then, but never pulled the trigger.

Fast forward to 2007. I finally ended up with a blue '88 Hawk, just like the one that I drooled on in the showroom way back when.
