I've actually got 3 motorcycles, soon to be 4.

I've got a 1971 Honda CB350, a 1978 Honda CB750, and a 1979 Kawasaki LTD400 - I got all 3 for free.

The CB350 was abandoned in a storage garage, they asked if I wanted it, I said sure. Had a friend who owns a garage do an impound sale to get me a title (doesn't run).

The CB750 sat in a friend-of-a-friend's garage for 15+ years not moving, has 13k miles on it, got the title, but it needs all new carbs, rebuilding them wouldn't help (doesn't run).

The Kawasaki was a friends bike, it died on the side of the highway and he had no way to tow it - he was so angry that he said if I could get the thing off the highway, then I could have it, just so he wouldn't have to pay the tow/impound fees for leaving it on the side of the highway (kinda runs, I wouldn't trust it to go further than 10 miles from my house).

The 4th bike I'm getting is going to be a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250 - it's a tiny little crotch-rocket, but something about that advertised 70 mpg appeals to me, and brand new the bike runs under 3 grand, also, I love the sound of that little engine spinning up towards 14,000 RPM's.
