What bike did you 'lust' after?

In 1977 or 78, there was major road construction on I-94 near my home. The Northfield, IL Fire Department had the reponsibility for emergency calls along this particular stretch. They decided to purchase 2 Kawasaki KZ400s so that they could get EMTs to an accident scene faster than in an ambulance. I thought those bikes looked so cool and it's the first time I ever thought seriously about riding....took me 30 years to turn that thought into realization.
