So, where do you go when you have at last got your dream bike?

[Conquiztador]

You have had many bikes, but at the end of the tunnel there was this one that you knew would make all your dreams come true.

And then one day you managed to get her. You took her for a ride and she was all you expected and more.

But to get here you had been working on getting "upwards". And now suddenly you supposedly were at the top.

Was this it? Is this where it ends? Can nothing surpass this? Or...

To those of us who have gotten to our dream bike. What now?

[Katman]

To those of us who have gotten to our dream bike. What now?

It's the end. There is nothing else left.

[mattian]

bollox.... there will always be another ride to have.

[firefighter]

Enjoy it :scooter:

[Gremlin]

Find a new dream bike.

[Flip]

It's the end, time to die.

[Usarka]

Wait 10 years, there'll be a better bike available.

In the meantime buy some tequila, cocaine and hookers and celebrate.

[Jantar]

Ah, the memories.

In 1972 I heard rumors that both Suzuki and Yamaha were developing rotary engined motorcycles. Suzuki apparently wre in the lead in their developement.

In early 1974 I heard a further rumour that Suzuki were preparing to enter production, so i went to my local Suzuki dealer and placed an order for one. The dealer (Holland and Bell Suzuki) were a bit put out that a customer was ordering a bike that they knew nothing about and that Coleman's (now Suzuki New Zealand) hadn't even heard of. However in December 1974 I received a phone call to say that 12 of them were coming to New Zealand, and I could have the first one. But, yes a big BUT, would I mind if they used my one as a trainer for mechanics to work on at a training course? I agreed, provided I could also attend the course. Signed sealed and delivered.

I finally took delivery of my RE5 in March 1975 and wow..... A good friend of mine had a Lotus Elan sports car, and that was quick and it could handle. He was pissed off when I blew his Lotus into the weeds while still running in.

35 years later and I still love that model.

[Katman]

Find a new dream bike.

Wash your mouth out.

[Gremlin]

Hell no :p

Currently have a KTM, brilliant bike, previous was a ZX10R, which was a dream since I was a learner. Now I look past the KTM, my needs have changed, and something else takes my fancy.

As your requirements change, so does your dream. Achieve and create a new one. :wings:

[Big Dave]

Away from that cop tailgating.

[Conquiztador]

Or perhaps set unrealistic goals?

Start taking drugs so your dreams are more interesting.

Or...


The history of the MÜNCH Mammut 2000


In 1997, businessman Thomas Petsch, from Würzburg, purchased all rights to the brand MÜNCH. He started the MÜNCH Mammut 2000 project and showed, that even a small team can bring about top performances in the area of motorbike technology. Under the roof of the MÜNCH Motorradtechnik GmbH, 250 MÜNCH Mammut 2000 should have been built, so that the machine could become the strongest miniseries motorbike. Based on a modified 2-litre turbo-engine, the strongest but also most expensive manufactured machine of modern time was created. To make spectacular and courageous decisions at any time as well as shaping the future are ideas that keep to the spirit of Friedel Münch. Due to the high costs of production, only 15 machines were built from 2000 until 2002. Until now, the MÜNCH Mammut 2000 is the strongest serial production motorbike in the world

Im sure in the late 1960's early 1970's people thought a rotary powered motorcycle was an unrealistic goal, and yet you owned one. Just enjoy the beauty of what you have now, and in a few years there will be something new for you to fall in love with and want.

Awww god no, i've been here, there, everywhere, there aint nothing left when you've tried it all !!!!
For gods sake smack yourself in the head with a hammer ! \

I had an RC30 for 3 months...

It was awesome... Then I had to sell it to pay all the medical bills after a sports accident :bye:

It Was a cool 3 months :yes:

I've got aspirations for an RC 35 :love: but good things take time & the dream can always be renewed when your talking about bikes.. TL100, HD Wideboy, Thruxton, R1100gs, Duke 916, ahhh the list just goes on forever!!

[Toaster]

Find a new dream bike.

Find a second dream bike for the garage.... and a third, and a....

[jim.cox]

To those of us who have gotten to our dream bike. What now?

Go Ride :)

(silly question)

[Mudfart]

once your dream is a reality, you spread The Word, and share your joy.
for me? currently its from the book of Honda chapter Firestorm VTR verse 1000:
"ride me hard and fast, I was cheap and good value for what you paid."
in the future? well, wherever my fancy takes me.

[nodrog]

Buy an MV Agusta, then the nightmare will never end.

I am a pedant: you either mean RC45, or NC35.

:blush: sorry

So am I.

"VFR750P - A police-specification model with its own distinctive model number (RC35) was restricted to 77 ps (75 hp) and fitted with a 5 speed gearbox, modified main stand, gear indicator, uprated alternator, crash bars, higher handlebars, and modified speedometer. This bike was not on sale to the general public."

ewwwwwww who would aspire to own one of those. I think its pretty clear from the context he meant RC45. And I felt compelled to correct. My bad.

But you've dropped this thread to a whole new level with your mention of a cop bike special restricted power piece of shit. blech.

carry on.

[Usarka]

Might be a CHiPS fetish.

Lol. And a Honda to boot! I chucked up in my mouth a little when I saw it.

[Voltaire]

I have two dream bikes ( as far as the wifes aware)....but alas when I wake up and go down to the garage they are all still in boxes....:innocent:

[eelracing]

Seeing as you asked,thank god for two smokers I say otherwise most of us could only afford one dream bike.

And if that had to be a wallowing ol diesel...well,I ask you,why would'nt you add cams and big bore it?

[scracha]

To those of us who have gotten to our dream bike. What now?

Drain fluids, clean and park it in living room.

Then buy a cheap and durty bike to thrash.

[Bonez]

For some strange reason I've taken a liking Royal Enfeild Bullets.

[schrodingers cat]

For what is a man that he outlive his own god...?

[Big Dave]

I don't have a dream bike - I have a dream garage with about a dozen bikes for different applications.

[ducatilover]

A VTR1000F will do me. Once acquired, then I may dream. :innocent::love:

[davebullet]

I have the speed triple but not a dream bike yet. Needs suspension work. CKT is the next step (when I get permission from my better half). Then it will be 2 months off work and touring NZ north to south.

May need to consider a better seat as well...

[ellipsis]

...as long as they are dreams and not wishes....we should all know by now that...wishes that turn to reality, for the most part, arrive with hooks and barbs attached...

[Drew]

There sure are some sick bastards about. The bike is ok, but no body should dream of owning one

:yes: Touche. I just want another twin, one that won't explode or rip my face off. If I was dreaming then, maybe a Hyosung gt250? Yeah......

Fair call :facepalm:

Correct.. I was intending RC 30 but go tall confused while thinking about my current NC 35 work required...

I blame you... the public for getting me sidelined with all the other possible dream bikes I would like, intend or just day dream about having.

Now you've had ya fun so move along, move along :drinkup:

... Or I'll get that guy on the neutered cop bike to give you grief...
