I own four motorcycles, three of them are on my top four list. the 74 XL350 is perfect for the infield at the track, riding around the neighborhood park and just fun to get to the hardware store. The 81 CB650C handles horribly, has plenty of zip, and someday will tug a hack. The ST1100 with its suspension mods and tires is a dream to tour and carve the rockies into bite size pieces.
Then there is the GL1200/California...Wanta buy it? handles like an aircraft carrier, poor mileage, hauls a ton of camping gear, and impresses the non-initiate.
