My bikes top to bottom, 1997 Nighthawk, 2006 XR650L, and 2006 Rebel.
The Rebel get the least use, we bought it a few years ago for my wife who quickly lost interest.  It is currently parked in the barn, patiently waiting for me to find time to go through the carb which is uncommonly prone to clogging up. 
The XR is a fun bike though I admit to using it almost exclusively for commuting to work.  The previous owner was a family member who was heavily into off-roading.  He passed away suddenly and I bought the bike to keep it in the family.
The Nighthawk has been a great bike and very reliable which should come as no surprise. I don't remember exactly how long I have had it, I think I bought it somewhere around 2003 or 2005, somewhere around in there.

Man, I envy you that XR.  It would be ideal for the NJ pinelands roads.

Thanks!  The XR is a great bike.  I'm always surprised at how light it is after being accustomed to the NH for so long.

That pad is just a cheapo pad I found at Walmart a few years ago when they actually had a motorcycle section.  The seat has a bad place and the pad keeps the stuffing in.

Yes, all three bikes are a lot of fun, except when it comes to paying for insurance and plates  ;D
