Ahh yes, the Zephyr. I did lust after the 750 as well, and I still think it is a very good looking bike. After that I wanted a Triumph Thunderbird T309RT that came out in 94. I really loved that bike and the triple engine, but somehow at the time I ended up getting a Honda XLV750 Africa Twin.
More recently I wanted an MV Agusta Brutale 910S. There was a stunning orange and black version that I was very close to buying. I think the only problem was that I was a bit too cramped on the bike, and I ended up getting a Moto Morini Corsaro. Still, that Brutale remains in my opinion a modern sculpture that I would not mind putting in my living room.
And finally, this year it was the BMW R9T, but I ended up with the Honda CB1100EX and I certainly don't regret it!
However, the very first bike I lusted after as a kid was an XR75. Never got one, just like the CB900F Bol d'Or I also wanted a bit later.
