The second to last pic (blue Honda) was available in the US for a while as the 250 Nighthawk, 750 Nighthawk, and 919. Last pic (white Yamaha) was sold here with a 350 engine - I actually know someone who has one, in white no less!

I'd ride the hell outta that NSR250. Been looking for a two-stroke for a while but most of them that come up are too expensive (RD350/400) or too beat up (like a DT250 I looked at).

I forgot one more, a bike very popular and not rare at all in Taiwan
The yamaha fzr150 one of the smallest v twins ever made at 150cc it can be directly swapped out with various yamaha 250cc v twin engines and possibly the virago engine I see so many of these with different fairing variations and 250cc engines |

Yup, and the 750 Nighthawk was a beast of a bike. Had gobs of torque and HP, and was so top heavy it felt like you were riding a tank.
