    Agreed. ;)

    I'd also add the RD 400 and possibly LC350 ... ;)

    the RD 350 air cooled was better and faster than the RD 400

    The Honda 50, obviously. Best selling motorcycle in the world and
    bulletproof to boot. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" was the ad
    that forever changed motorcycling.

    Nothing even comes close.

    Best,

    CB500T, then. Definitely. They did the 550 in brown, but it was a good
    bike.

    Heh.

    I left mine off the list because I've got one so it's not something I
    aspire to, IYSWIM.

    But, yes, truly one of the greats.

    There are different ways of being a classic. The CX500 is a classic
    reliable long lasting workhorse bike. I read in another newsgroup that
    someone was starting a club for those which had exceeded 300,000
    miles. Don't know if that's true, but 200,000 is often reported.

    I sold my gs1000 for an XS850 - what a horrible mistake.
