Over the years I've gone back in time, driven 100% by nostalgia, and picked up bikes that I lusted over as a kid. VF750F, GS1100E, TDM 850, etc.
The vast majority felt as old as they were, and didn't stick around that long, having checked the been there done that box.
Of them all, the one that surprised me the most in terms of how well it worked, was an '83 GPz 550. That little bike just worked great. Its one I wish I still had.
It wasn't perfect, but it was an 8.5. Here are a couple pics I took as I was foolishly getting ready to sell it for a pittance.
