OK, I'll play.
Here's my current commuter machine.  Someday I hope to have a motor and/or bi cycle made in the current millennium! (not that I'd get rid of any of my "old" stuff, I just want something new, too...)

^^^ Sweet ^^^
half the weight & triple the HP of mine (plus brakes that work and it won't short out when wet) amazing what 45 years of engineering advances can do, eh?

I did not read all the replies but,
Great choice in manufacturer. I rode an older Honda 250 (xl250r) for a number of years. It was a great machine. I did some longer trips with it (200 mile days at 60+mph) and while not perhaps the ideal rig; It did it. Some may say 250 is too small, but it is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. I went through a Harley phase, and while it was a good machine for the open highways, I rode my old Honda scooter around town more.

Looks like I've killed this thread.
 So I've sold my 250 dual sport in Dec, and am chomping at the bit for a new bike. Although I may not pick one up for the next few months, here are the candidates (with pics), and yeah my interests are all over the map. Honda CB300B - light, economical, and very good for the quick around town rides that constitute 90% of my riding  - Yamaha FZ-07 - substitute for the KTM 690, it has the freeway performance the 300 Honda doesn't  Honda CB500F- midway between the two above  - Indian Scout - not sure how this is going to work out for grocery shopping, but I went down and looked at the gloss black one they had in stock, and hot dayam! now I really want a cruiser.  KTM 690 Duke - the #1 choice, but I'll probably need to keep my car to deal with potential down time

My 57 years of riding came to an end when I was taken out by a car 7/6/14. I was lucky I wasn't killed and the pain/suffering from my injuries made me unwilling to risk that ever again. There are way too many distracted/incompetent drivers on the road for me not to be in a cage. Heck, I haven't been able to brave riding a bicycle in traffic since then either.

I agreed to buy an Aprilia Futura. Low miles. Stock except for the needed upgrades (fuel line disconnects, brown wire, etc)
Let the sport-touring begin! (once I go pick it up and ride from Ohio to NoVA that is!) M

On my bicycle, I avoid traffic, especially at rush hour when all the distracted drivers are rushing to get to their homes. I also have had to skip mass start racing because I cannot risk another head injury or further damage to the various joints that had to be repaired or replaced. My wife screams if I leave the house without something bright on. I don't really miss the MC at all.
