I’m riding a 98 Honda Valkyrie. Best bike they made. Absolutely love that bike.

I have an 82 Honda Goldwing GL1100 that I got in 02 that had 28K miles.. Other than tune ups, fluid changes, and tires, it has never failed me once.. Still runs like new!

Today I own a 1985 Honda 1100 Sabre. Great bike but a strictly street machine. My favorite bike was a 1980 Yamaha 1100 Midnight Special. Mostly street but could go off road to some degree.

And don't forget the Yamaha FJ1200. One of the best all rounders ever. <br>Also need to mention Suzuki DR650. Began life in the 80s. Has remained absolutely unchanged since 96 and you can buy new ones today for under $8K. A hundred pounds lighter than the KLR and more fun to ride.
