Mint condition only:
1972 DT250
1973 CB350
1973 GT750B
1985 GL1200I
2014 Hayabusa 1300

Why?
Learned to hill climb (and break an arm) with Yamaha DT250 in Southern Georgia open pit mine.
First street bike was CB350.
1973 GT750B - purchased in Okinawa, shipped to States and rode until I was posted back overseas. Bike still exists, leaning against a fence in the High Desert in Hesperia Ca.
Got back into biking in 2012 with the GL1200I. Love it!!
Hayabusa because the GL1200I tops out at 105mph and that ain't enough.

I would want a 125 plated dirt bike a little smaller or larger would not matter.

A friend of mine had a HD Fat Boy, I rode it for him and that was one fun bike. I could handle one of those for short trips around town. I do like that vroom vroom V twin sound, but not out on the highway.

Other than that I would put my cash into my 1200 to keep it mint
