Rare, Retro and unusual but serious want factor
Discussion
As the title suggests, post two wheeled oddities and rarities, that still hold serious attraction for reasons unknown. Bike that have that certain something that cannot be quantified. Bikes that if funds were available, you'd buy, just because. (if it's an advert, please post a link. Someone might be looking for that exact bike)
I'll begin.
Call me odd but I have always fancied one of these:

I don't know if its the lovely 80s styling or the thought of that fairly characterful V-twin. I don't know why but I'd like to own one at some point.
I'll begin.

Can I also add this? I really don't think I need to explain myself.......

I very nearly bought one of those as my first "big" bike but there was something wrong with it and I didn't want to take a chance.I'll begin.

I have long wanted on of these (amongst many others!) having ridden someone else's about 35 years ago, and have a constant eBay search running, although I cannot fit another bike in currently:

I always thought the SZR was a bit of an odd looking thing. Nice idea, though. Big single in a frame with dimensions more akin to a 125. (Anyone remember Simoto?)
Back in the days of 33bhp restrictions, I rather fancied one of these. Couldn't find one, even at grey importers. A nice idea then and one whose time has come round again. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255786413438?mkcid=16&a...
Honda VT250, always wanted one, no idea why really.

Suzuki TL1000S, has to be the original S and not the R. Ideally in red.
I’ve always liked them but never done anything about it.
I’d also like to add a Honda Blackbird, I rode a mates one just after I passed my direct access. It scared the hell out of me, then rode the same bike a few years later and understood why he’d kept it so long!
Again I’ve no idea why I haven’t had one.
