Because I'm a glutton for punishment, lets mirror the CL game going on in the main forums.
Search your local CL with a limit of $2010 and pick your #1 favorite and post the link + pic.

FRESH TOP END GOOD OVERALL CONDITION

1972 Yamaha RD200E CS5 - $700... Possibe Cafe?
Dunno if I would buy it but it's definately one of the coolest ones on there now.
This is to win the 2010 Challenge, right? Not much info in the ad, but it's a decent looking gsxr1100 for 1500. Enough left in the budget for tires & suspension freshen up. I don't think this one needs nitrous, but if the budget allows...
gsxr 1100 for trade or 1500 firm - $1500 (hayward / castro valley)
"71"Vintage Honda Chopper http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1617477623.html

^ that's awesome
Sir There is a Honda 750 parked in the middle of your 3 wheeler.
I'm tempted to offer $300 for it
2000 CBR F4 with 40,000 miles - $2000
It still looks to be in great shape, too.
my sister just offered her 99 f4 for 2500 with 4k miles
75 Hodaka Road Toad
http://oregoncoast.craigslist.org/mcy/1610341754.html
where i live its mostly quads 
1975 Honda CB125S $750
This one calls to me.
1970 Honda CT 70 with 125 Lifan engine. Has custom wheels, has been completely restored and is registered and licensed for the street. $1950 or best offer
The 'Busa Turbo is probably too rich, the KZ1000 is a parts bike, the 750 Katana is OK but not my style, so I would have to go with:
1981 Honda CB750F Super Sport, Kerker 4-1 exhaust, $800. Plenty of room for improvements.
Put silver comstars on that, you have my daily ride.
