2004 Kawasaki KLR650. Sold it after I injured my thumb.
80/20 ride for me. Off road was mostly forest service roads and a few ORV parks.
Did some mild single track and was surprised that it was able to handle it at a slow pace.
Most fun I've had on a bike since my RD400. Ring ding ding ding.
Want the NC700X for commuting, country road touring and the occasional dirt or gravel road.

Waaw. R u sure u didn't leave out anyone? Which one did u like most, i.e. love ??
Haha, that's all of them. Not sure I could pick just one. Different tools for different jobs. Touring - the wing, jumping and flat out getting stupid on - the RM, commuting - the NC, crazy twisties - the DRZ, acceleration - the CBR.
Probably the one that delivers the widest range of emotions is the RM250. The best thing about riding off road is that you can push it just as fast and hard as your brain and body will allow without fear of getting "busted" by the popo. An adrenaline rush that scratches the itch and helps me keep things sane and responsible on the streets. Besides, the others just can't compair to the flight characteristics of the RM.
It is a rush!

1 - Piaggio MP3 400
2 - I liked the NC's styling and flexibility (which I think go hand in hand on this bike)
3 - from the MP3, I don't miss much. It wa a good way to get into motorcycling for me, but that's it. The NC bests it on all accounts.

The commonest previous bike appears to be the CBR250RA...maybe Honda should give us a special discount for this upgrade!

1. My NC is my new commute bike replacing my trusty 2002 BMW650GS which I used everyday for a few years clocking up 40,000 miles.
2. MPG
3. Nothing really. I never get emotionally attached to my commute bikes!

I always liked the Thunder Cat. I actually preferred it to the Thunder Ace

I rode a mate's thunderace didn't like it at all Rocker.
after riding upright most of my biking life I found it strange riding the cat but soon got use to it.
I've riden an R1 and Blade and a gixer didn't like them either.
the gixer was torcher on my wrist unless I was doing a ton.
out of the three the blade was better but way to fast! for me.
