I have two:
First one is a 2001 Honda CR125. Picked it up for $950 in September down in Michigan, knowing it would need rear spokes tightened, and probably a top end rebuild. Looks like quite a few of the rear spokes are stripped, cylinder will need to be re-sleeved, and bottom end is currently pulled apart to replace seals and clean components (found some dirt on the crank). And lots of other little things.
When I picked her up:
Some teardown pics:
Don't have picture of the cylinder. But there is a crack on the inside wall. I bought a new sleeve off of ebay for $30, but I'd rather try to find another slightly used cylinder in good shape than pay $200 to get the sleeve installed.
I have to take the rest of the gasket material off, wash all the bearings/other motor components, and then start putting it all back together. And of course figure out what I'm doing in regards to the cylinder.
I was down in Michigan and found the following bike (2000 CR125) on craigslist for $400. It had excel wheels, a Bills pipe, PC pipe, and other parts. Needs a new crank or crank bearings - I'll probably replace them both to be safe.
I will be fixing both up of course, but I haven't figured out what to do in terms of the title. The 2001 has a title, and it was imported to Canada as an off-road competition vehicle, however if I ever want to get an Ontario title for it, I need to go back to the border and import it a different way. The 2000 has a lien on the title, so currently all of the parts from the bike are back in Canada except for the frame. I can bring it back without declaring it I believe, however if I ever want to sell it up here it will be a PITA. I think long-term wise, I am going to keep the 2000 and sell the 2001, but I have to fix the titles first. Maybe I'll find a Canadian frame or something.
I have quite a few parts stocked up for these bikes. Pro Taper fat bars + adapters, FMF silencer, VForce reeds, graphics, chain/sprockets, IMS pro pegs, IMs shifter, Moose handguards, hour meter, etc etc. I suppose I will save most of these parts for the 2000, if I am planning to keep it long term.
Finally I'd like to point out that this was my FIRST time EVER opening up an engine (keep in mind I'm 17 now, was 16 when I bought the 2001). So anyone considering taking their bike in for engine work, DO IT YOURSELF! I bought the Clymer manual, and have watched countless videos on youtube on how to do top and bottom end rebuilds. With a few specialty tools, it really isn't that hard.
Down the line I hope to pick up a 2000-2007 Honda CR250, as well as an 08ish Ktm 300 XCW.

Hate to jack the thread....
Aww man. Didn't want anyone to like my dad's BMWs more than my dirtbikes! lol. Here are a few more pics for you. That black one is a 635, I think he has one other 635 and every other 6 he has is a 633 or 630. The other cars he has are the 2002s, a few 5 series, a few 'Cudas, the 914, and a TR6.

Nice to see some dirtbike people in here. I'm sad to say I had to sell mine a few weeks ago BUT I'm taking it to the street soon. Tracking down a supermoto, this should be good 
Had one last year but didn't have time for it. Been on a dirtbike since I was 5 years old, I guess my dad wanted a son or something. Here's some of the toys through the years.
Last one, just sold, 2009 KX100
KDX200 (height didn't work out, thought it was lower than the KX)
KX125 (height didn't work out)
RM100
DRZ400SM
And I won't get into all my other little really mini bikes or all the others that were here so temporarily.
