Lots of DRZ's on the wish list.  You guys should compare the OTD price of a DRZ to a Husqvarna.  The Husky is in a completely different league in terms of HP, weight, suspension, and brakes.  The MSRP is higher on the Husky but the dealers sell them without the rape fee that makes the OTD price of a Suzuki just as high.

Used Honda Cub.....  :-\ or a Puch Moped

looking for a trail 70 or 90 to ride behind my wife when she's on her scooter.

My dad bought a scrambler last year to get back into riding after 25 years or so.  This was also the bike I learned to ride on.  As far as the cool factor goes, it definitely has it.....except now I have to listen to everyone at the gas station tell me how they had a bonneville back in the 70s.  It runs fairly well, but is by no means a speed demon.  We fabbed a set of pipes for it and re-jetted the carbs.  Those vertical twins, especially the scrambler with the 270 firing interval, have such a sweet sound.

You got a point there.  But I think that if you take off the BMW badges the scum bags would think anything that ugly has to be a cheap ass bike.
Maybe it would be safer to ride a 70s yamaha 350 single enduro with some dents and rust around the world :P

Hell ya!  or say.... a certain bonneville!!!.....maybe...a vintage bonnie....Ya we'll go with that!  hehe.  In all honesty, I would do a round the world trip on a flat green scrambler, if not a DRZ!   [moto]

Love the list. After I get these 8 bikes, I'll get one for the woman.

What excellent taste you have, my complements.  Too bad that Bonnie ain't for sale.  But I can tell you where you can go and to pick it up.  Ride
to Homer Alaska and then continue driving southwest for another 15 miles.  Ya can't miss it [evil]
