I love old school bikes. I sold my collection though, but I think I’m going to get another. I love the two strokes. I had an RD350 and RD400 and a DS7 all Yamahas. I gave a good friend my Honda NSR250. He is having a blast with that.
Nice old Honda. I was into Yamaha's except for this one. Except for the Lucas electrics and kick starting , I wouldn't mind having this one back.

My first bike - 71 Suzuki TS125.
Mine first bike was a '77 Suzuki GS550. I then graduated to a '78 GS750
My last bike was a '81 Honda CB900F.
Unfortunately, my bike days ended when a woman who was parked on the side of the road decided to pull out and bang a U-turn in front of me leaving me nowhere to go but straight into her.

Love all of them. I was a Honda guy. I started on the street with an XL-175
Than graduated to a Honda 400 Hawk
Then a Honda NSR 400
Then a Honda ST1300
Than a Honda NSR 250
Than for fun I collected 3 Yamaha’s, DS7, RD350, and RD400, all 2 strokes. The NSRs above were 2 strokes also. Both the NSRs were never sold in the United States.
DS7
RD350
RD400
Royal Enfield!I thought he would be a Norton guy.
They are all Lucas electrics aren't they? 
Super Rat ?
Yes. Once I got it together it was a blast! I loved the look of the gas tank

Remember the Midnight Special? single thumper street bike I always wanted one, but I did restore a XT500 same engine. Same thing on starting you had to be all in when you kick it. My Father had a saying (these bike smell fear son be careful).

My first bike was a Yamaha YG1 little 100 2 stroke with chrome tank what a beaty. I was at the Yamaha dealer getting a new fender for it and the owner wanted my bike to hang in the window for display, he gave me a really good deal on a Kenny Roberts Special RZ350. Scary fast it was and chicks dig it.
I had a 78 GS 1000 and a 92 GSXR750R... Basically got them running and sold em lol. Lots of little bikes too. Here's a 72 RamRod
