Bahahahah and you just pwnd sniper. Nice one!

My dream bike at the moment.. well... after slutting around and giving a quite a few bikes a go (and being dis-honest to my woman)... - is mine.

Has everything I want, rides like I want it to and looks the part now.

Never thaught I would say that about a bike I could own but yeah - I'm fuckin chuffed. :Punk:

Seriously, all I could ever wish for is a race rep RGV250.... with trick brakes, a race system, tuned up the wazoo, and in complete black, with the exception of a full side hammer and sickle paint job.

Holy crap. Anybody got a towel? Just writing that made me excited.

But on a learner license it would have to be a vtr250 ( A honda i know ) :pinch:
And heres a pic of what i want that triumph of mine to look like.

My drool machines at the moment are the Aprilia Tuono 1000R and the Honda CBR1000 Repsol Blade. Achieveable but reality says when I get off my L I'll probably end up with a couple of year old CBR 1000 or a VTR 1000 when the inks dry on the full. Have clearance from Mrs Insanity Rules to spend 10K on the day. :doobey:

Until then I'll just have to play tidy up with the VTZ of doom!

I have always loved the dukes. The older 916 (Tamburini design) is a beautiful machine. A New 996 (in canary yellow) is cream material. Also I really like the MV Augusta.

19th April 2006, 07:50
Anything would be nice right about now....

If I had the cash though I would have a 06 ZX10, a K6 Gixxer thou, an MV Augusta, a turbo Hayabusa, and an 06 RSV1000....yeah thought ought to do it.

Ahhh - but I've changed my mind since I last answered that question.

This week I want a Sprint ST, a TNT, an R1200, a Royal Enfield and the new Honda V5 super dooper tourer thing. If the bastards ever release it.

And I reserve the right to change my mind any time I read a new bike mag.

I never dreamed of owning a Buell but now that I've got it I am totally in lust and just wait til she gets a sexy paint job...oh yeah baby...
Yeah I like old Ducatis (ok I like new ones too...)
And a Speed Triple in black... drool...
AND the odd one out... A Harley Deuce. Ever since the lovely peeeps at AMPS let me have 1 for a whole day I have been pining for it...
But HEY lemme be quite clear here, the Buell ain't going NO-where, she's a keeper.
Bring it on LOTTO.

Nope.
I've thought about this considerable like, and apart from having a selection of bikes (dirtbike, sprotsbike for fanging on, cruiser/posing bike, commuter, trackbike, etc.) I can't think of one.
However, I would like to keep my current steed, and upgrade the suspension, brakes and seat. It does everything I need.

I would have say The Y2K the world's first turbine powered street legal motorcycle in its class, and has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to Enter Series Production" and the "Most Expensive Production Motorcycle". Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine, the SUPERBIKE has demonstrated over 300 hp and 425 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyno Jet 200, and has been

clocked at a record-breaking 227 mph.

Theres this very cool little bike called an Alchamy.
It was desighned by a kiwi based in queensland.
loosely based on the round case ducati ss900 but with a radical frame and rear shock.
It is the size of an RGV 250 but has a tonne of tourque.
You could buy it as a complete bike or as a kitset.
I was lucky enough to ride 2 of them in Sydney --stunning to ride.
Funny innit--life has come full circle and im racing suzukis copy

thats in my head and appears to be expanding now that I have some money to spend. There are the bikes that are in the garage and then there are the bikes I want in my garage...:rockon:

However, what I want the most at the moment is a motorcycle that will get Mrs IL4 back into riding. She was hit n run ages ago, used to ride a XT550 & GS450. Something that will return her itch for riding is what I want the most at the moment.:yes:

I would need a selection of bikes and one will never cut it (although current financial situation says 1 is enough)!

I figure a good argument for having a 2nd bike is that I would only have as many wheels as a car and probably less CC'es!

I'm actually really happy with my little 250 I still find it quite powerful and still get into a bit of trouble on it as it can reach speeds of 190kmph.

I would like a 600 like a 04/05 GSXR600 or a new Honda CBR600 - in that order. But that would only be for wank factor as I'd be over the moon with having a cool toy like that.

I'm guess that since they had it on a dynojet 200, it drives the rear wheel.

Its loosebruces old TL1000S after it was flipped doing a wheelie over a crest at 200kmh and rebuilt again... I had the pleasure of riding it for about 3 months.... aahhh the joy... so many electrical problems and vibrations... and Death blew it up a couple of times....

In the end it looked like a really good streetfighter with buell XB S lights and fly screen, and all painted black...

My dream bike was once some kinda Harley, but now I would say that I would love own the Chief Deluxe, "Indian" that is. At the begining of this year I was in the market and looking about, after owning a Guzzi Nevada for the past 5 years or so, I was stuck in a rutt.

I saw Breva 1100 and thought that was the cuppa.... rode a griso (that was like drinking a yard glass) it had a look I like, it was nice to ride.... I dreamed of owning it.

Then I got it ... 1250km gone by, and love is still there, Griso!!! It is my Dream of the moment, may I only wake up when I can afford the Chief!
