Let me just say I'm in awe of a lot of the bikes you've all had the pleasure of owning. I've only been riding for two years now (finally started at age 36) but at least now I don't feel bad that I'm already on my third bike. My first was a red 84 Nighthawk 700SC, I picked it because it has a distinctly 80s look and I thought it was neat. After having it and learning a lot more about bikes in general and riding several others I came to realize just how awesome of a bike I chose. Unfortunately the condition wasn't the greatest and it ended up having too many problems and it wasn't really a good candidate for total restoration. After selling it quickly for slightly less than I paid for it, I found a 2003 Nighthawk 750 and had a lot of fun on that until I traded it for my CB1100.
While I do love my CB, I still would like to find a mint condition or totally restored 84-86 NH 700SC, preferably the 86 red white & blue model. I haven't been on as many bikes as the rest of you, but for me that model was the perfect ride and the CB1100 comes close to what I liked about it.
