I have a couple of second bikes..I have a hayabusa that always brings a smile to my face when I twist the throttle and I have two yamaha GTS-1000s. I have a 71 honda cb550 that is currently in pieces waiting for me to get back to the states and finish it up. I also have a 1958 DNEPR that has some electrical problems and in search of a sidecar.

In addition to the Wee, I have a 04 Honda ST1300 for long tours and 2 up and a 00 Honda Blackbird for satisfying those need to go fast urges that crop up once in a while!

Thumbs up Any KLR - 650 or 250
Like many others on this thread said, I think the KLRs are GREAT second bikes.
I've had both. I liked the KLR650, but it was heavier than the KLR250 and the KLR250 is kick start only, but it can go just about anywhere, as long as you're not in a hurry.
Either bike has an ENORMOUS aftermarket for parts and with the models being built and sold much the same since 1987, they are inexpensive to purchase.
Oh, by the way, my current second bike is a 1977 Honda CB750A (yes its the automatic model).

I don't mean that bike that you ride once a year, I mean really ride. I have no doubt this is a thread already done somewhere so feel free to point me in the right direction.
Both bikes bought new out of the crate. A 1976 250 RM-A Scream machine and the new 2012 Wee. Life is good.
