I have been around enough that I have had a LOT of two wheelers. I like them all--except--the 76 Honda 750 Hondamatic. I now wish I still had that one. It was just to easy to drive at the time.
Can't think of any that I "doubled up" on--except for my re-buy of a Vulcan 900 LTD--a 2015 version this time. Wanted back on two wheels and the "motorcycle force" was in my favor. Same bike as I had previous (that fit me like a glove), a brand new 2015 version, and the price was right.
Would I like to see any "bring backs." Nawwwwwwwww. The new stuff is usually improved mechanically and has a few extra features than before.
That's what makes the game fun. Many times I have been sold something new by reading the latest in cycle magazines.

Trail 70s were in every campground on the Planet at one time, I think!
(I had a Trail 110 for the close-up and personal work! )
The bike that I want to see come back:
The 1982 Kawasaki GPZ 550.
I bought a Trail 70 standard shift for my 5 year old son,
my wife thought I was trying to kill him...
He is now 47 and can out ride just about everybody.
QUOTE=BitSlayer;1268327]OK, probably not what you meant when you stared the thread, but who remembers this little ditty?
I always liked the Honda CX500 range- Custom, Sport, Silver Wing, Turbo etc
There was also 650cc versions
I am convinced if these were reintroduced Honda would sale them again
Original Yamaha Venture/Venture Royale 9197836.jpgimages.jpg and the original Yamaha 650
. Loved the old venture Royale.
I had a little Yamaha 400 special that was a great get around town bike. Thing ran forever with a chain replacement being the only thing I had to do to it. Still have and ride this one. small.jpg

My Tourist Trophy was a simple bike that was a ton of fun!
Whenever I rode it: I felt as if I was getting ready for the Isle of Man...

The TransAlp wasn't a true "Dual-Purpose" bike: it was more of a dirt road specialist! They were surprisingly comfortable out on the open road, and had enough power to get you in all sorts of trouble.

I had three BSA's when I was just beginning my two wheeled adventure. The '69 BSA 250 Starfire, and two '71 BSA 650 Lightning's. Tried riding that BSA 441 Victor, but always ended up with a black and blue leg. Something about using the compression release lever at the same time as when it was being kicked over. I'd like to see a return of the Lightning.
Another bike that seemed to have a short life was the 1800cc Honda Rune.
Bikes you would like to see come back
