I assume you'll vote bike #2 as well.... hmmmm.
OK, let me throw in a 3rd bike I just found. An '83 Yamaha XT 550.
The thing is, I'm not looking for some killer, go out and shred it up bike. I'm looking for something I can run to Walmart on to grab bread, and something I can take camping, through on the back of the travel trailer, and bop around on the trails. Run the kids to scouts, stuff like that. I realize the ct 90 is ugly, but I have been told that they are bulletproof, easy to ride, no clutch, easy to teach the kids on. I admit, I like the Elsinore too, it is a hot classic bike. Here's a pic of the XT 550.
I had a '78 XT 500 12 years ago, and loved it for the most part, though it was heavy and high for trail riding. A few hrs on rough mountain trails on that thing and I was tired. I ended up putting it on its side a few times too. Just too heavy for a trail bike.
