Rambler American Wagon
Just out of high school, I bought my dream car; a 1956 Hudson Metropolitan. It was a project car that I never finished, but I loved it. Now older and with a pair of kids, I would love to find a Rambler American wagon from the 1950s, as they share styling and the wagon is hardly a large car.

1975 Honda CT90
You meet the nicest people on a Honda.
Years ago, I acquired a 1974 Honda CT90 needing a restoration, but almost entirely complete. It was my second bike after graduation, after my 1982 Honda C70 Supercub. I paid nothing for it, and let it go for almost that much. Like the C70, I still kick myself for letting the CT90 go, and would love to have one of each again someday.
I just love the smaller bikes, almost more than even 100hp liter bikes. While it won't take me across the country, these little bikes bring smiles to the face in a way that is quite unexpected.
Maybe someone else who loves these little gems will take this little classic in and give it a good home:

Three of a Kind
A Yamaha Super Tenere, a KTM 990 Adventure, and a BMW R1200GS, kitted out and ready to take on the world, or your commute. I like the BMW, and I prefer Japanese, but I think I'd have to lean toward the KTM for a touring bike capable of days without touching tarmac. To me, adventure does not mean traveling the same roads as minivans.
KTM 1190 Adventure R
KTM doesn't leave riders who seek a more enduro bike out in the cold. The R variant offers 21" front and 18" rear spoked tubeless wheels, up from 19"/17" on the standard model. The larger wheels on the R model might be enough to keep folks like me who are under 6' from being able to mount the bike easily, but its nice to see the company catering to multiple riding styles and needs with one platform.
