I've not seen one of these threads on KB for a while.

So you came into enough coin to buy the dream bike. What is it?

I'd be inclined to add a Walt Segil Leggero build in the colours/specs of my choosing. But F-me his MV triples are stunning as well ..... Links below and check out the gallery.

Yeah Na, would most likely give up motorcycling as wouldn't want to kill myself while life was good with $20million dollars in the bank.

This would do it. And enough money to bribe cops to look the other way.

I don't know.. I'm a bit of a tragic, fanatic, obsessive but I'd gladly get the whole lot and give it to one of the chaps in The States who own one of the Brittens to bring it home and get it back into running order.

Nah I meant I'd still be a Righteous Bro:2guns:

. . . I'm not exactly sure what that is - but it seemed to be a thing when perusing a mates 'In The Wind' magazines he got from who knows where when we were like 13.
Fortunately I decided choppers were even uglier than the tattoos the wimin were defacing themselves with, which occasionally was a terrible shame, but often irrelevant.

Haha that brings back memories of spending paper round money on second hand USA Chopper magazines. I had the Easyrider poster on the wall in my bedroom next to a Farrah Fawcett poster (red swimsuit, erect nipple..... ah good times).

Righteous times indeed.

I think I'd just buy a new gixxer 6 to replace my 96,000km 2008 model...and a place with a decent workshop to fart around in.

Yeah, bikes are like golf clubs, they all have a specific design function to a greater or lesser extent. A Lotto win would let you consider the more focussed bikes 'cause you could have more. And you could build a bigger shed.

22nd August 2018, 20:58

God I feel old saying this but...
My first reaction is a bike I already have... but a mint one.

CB1300.
Maybe some suspension specially set for me.

Other bikes ring my bell too but I dread the thought of not having one.

I'll have one of those KZ's as well.

I fail to understand why the factories do not do a limited run of a bike like that - after all they have everything they need in the sports model - just the work needed to strip and tidy it into a kick arse looking naked.

Roland Sands did a nice Honda one some years back.

Suzuki could have easily gone this direction with their GSX semi naked of recent years.

There is a guy doing a kit for Hondas - I'll find it - as it is on my wish list and you've reminded me.

Yeah. Someone said $20 million.... That would do it. The barn, the tools, the machines, the people to teach me how to use it all so I could create my own dreams.

And a digger. So I could build a track to ride them on.

Probably some nubiles, too.

A bit less than $20 mil and I would settle for a Suter 2t to look at.

Or the Ronax.

The movie is a little wank, but watch it. - hell yeah it sounds good, now I want one.

I don't buy tickets, but that won't dramatically decrease my chances of winning, statistically speaking it's close to the margin of error.

I'd go the other way!
I'd invest most of the money to provide an income, quit work and spend a lot more time riding around the country.

Yep - I'm with you on this one. First thoughts are an MV Turismo Veloce for general running around duties - And a larger garage to fit it into! :laugh:

And a larger house to go with the garage. Swimming pool for summer and a fancy car to impress my new mates at the private golf club. And some golf clubs. Not sure where you buy those, no mind.
And a better class of trophy wife.
What's a race horse cost?

But it wouldn't change me.

LOL!

It's funny when someone says a Lotto win wouldn't change them, gotta wonder why they buy tickets.

I'd love to be retired early, all this working is eating into my riding time! The money would be great for buying whatever bike I want and whatever farkles i want for my bike - this week alone I've spent ~$1500 on my bike (rego, new top box, more RAM mounts, windscreen mount brace). I'm working to make money to spend on the bike, can't wait until my 5-week holiday in January/February, gonna do a big SI trip and go to Bike Week, Vincent County Rally & Burt Munro Rally - should rack up over 3,000km of riding over 4 weeks! If I won Lotto then my holiday would be a bit longer - decades!
