Well, have had a lot.
Here's one to start it off with that I used for some fast-n-light weekend camping last summer; a worked Yamaha Seca 750:

 

[Steve83]

My first Wing was a '75 1000. I did a full to-the-frame restoration and rebuild. Took about a year, back in '93.

My second was an '80 1100 Interstate that had been modified. I rebuilt the top end after the PO broke a timing belt and bent 4 valves. Amazingly, no piston damage! Had this one in 2011.

I ran around on this little KZ440LTD a couple of years ago for a few months. Used it as a parts-chaser.
Paid $200 for it and brought all the maintenance up to date after it sat for about 6 years. Had to rebuild the starter.
Paid $100 for the SECA above. Had to bring its maintenance up too. Don't know how long it sat though..

 

[dlslick]

I have had quite a few since my hobby is to buy other peoples junk and make them run again. I usually ride them a while first.
Here is a couple.

I still have this one and is one of my favorites. It may stay for a while.

Loved them all and regret selling them now that they are gone. So glad for Craigslist and EBAY and the vast choices available for buying and selling.

First motor vehicle I owned when I was 16. Rode it around an old field to learn how to ride. I paid $250 for it.

'48 Harley

Ducati 450 Scrambler. Great bike I wish I still had.

Old Norton 500 single I bought in boxes and put together. And rode it for awhile. I remember it had "Roadholder" forks which had a real mystique for me.

'69 Kawasaki H1 which was an obnoxious death machine. I got rid of it.

'82 CB900 Custom in Wineberry Red. Beautiful bike that would rival my GW.

Took about 20 years off from bikes.

Then I bought a bunch of '49 Royal Enfield J2 parts in boxes. Got right into it: took 2 years and completely restored. Surprisingly smooth and pleasant to ride.

Bought a '71 BSA 650 in boxes. Spent a winter putting together and rode a bit the following summer. Vibrated way more than the RE, slow, terrible brakes.

Then I got into GS Suzukis starting with a '77 GS750.

Got fed up with wrench on old bikes and bought a brand new '09 Kawasaki Versys. Wonderful bike. I rode it out to the west coast and back. But it was like an appliance: nothing to do but put gas in and ride so no entertainment over winter. So I sold it so we could Reno the bathroom.

2009 Versys

Which brings me to my current '82 GL1100. Perfect bike for me: rides great in summer and no end of projects in winter.
