What if...

[James Deuce]

Someone rocked up to you tomorrow and said you can have any bike you want?

What would you choose?

No need to worry about practicality. No need to worry about operating costs, or insurance, no need to give a rat's banana about what people would think of you.

I want one of these.

[merv]

Really Jim you heading towards retirement age on a cruiser already?

[James Deuce]

Answer the question or bugger off Merv.

[merv]

OK, good night.

[Blackadda]

A Fisher & Paykel Mobility Scooter with training wheels......



Nah


MV Augusta Senna mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :Punk:

[Grub]

It happened to me Saturday morning ... I chose the Ducati ST2

[Big Dave]

I can tell you what it wouldn't be.

[Madness]

I wouldn't know where to find one.....

It might be nice to have 2 bikes?

[wilber]

KTM Superduke

[CM2005]

ummmm, ummmm, *has a fit, falls off chair, twitching*

[T.W.R]

This would do me just fine :love:

[xwhatsit]

I know it's only a 250cc, but...

1966 RC166

[CM2005]

maybe kawasaki KR250 factory racer. or a more developed version of my bucket?

[Blackadda]

nah nah nah... this one.....

[CM2005]

ohh i know!!

[The Pastor]

The biggest 2 stroke motogp bike ever.

[CM2005]

NSR500 then? or the ole 750's? or a new, 800cc 2stroke....

[skelstar]

Maybe one of these ...

[Karma]

The Dutcati... completely functionless, but so pretty it deserves to be put in an art gallery :love:

[dogsnbikes]

Oh easy just give me a WAKAN.......in black :drool:

and cheak out the bug catcher :Punk:

go cheak the web site out ..Wakan motorcycles

[cowboy]

BOSS HOSS 350 Chev V8 or if your crazy 502 big block V8

[Big Dog]

So many bikes so little time.......
Already have the multipurpose machine, so I guess something a little bit, extremely different and rare.

[Forest]

I already own it - possibly the sexiest bike ever made.

A mint Ducati MH900e, imported privately.

[muzz]

Would love to have a Britten in my shed.

[Trudes]

How predictable, but, I can't help it........

[The_Dover]

I've already got it.

[Maha]

Barry Sheens 1977 RG500....no way i could afford so might as well have i given to me...:yes:

[NighthawkNZ]

But I have what I already wanted... I just went out and bought it, didn't matter if I could afford it or not... :scratch:

[Pwalo]

Benelli Tornado (but only with free breakdown assistance).

[Deano]

Rossi's last NSR500.

[Devil]

I'd have the Why-Two-Mutha-Funkin-Kay beasty.

[Paul in NZ]

sigh ..... lust lust dribble dribble....

[SARGE]

one of four ...

[MisterD]

Obtaining the unobtainable....ooh yeah!

[Dooly]

Possibly a 1098 Duc or an Aprilia RSVR.

Kinda happy with what I've got now anyway.

[Hitcher]

Probably the latest model of what I currently ride -- complete with TBR mufflers and one of those screens that the Dutch Highway Patrol use. And Avon Storms.

But I could completely change/lose my mind after riding the soon-to-arrive Kawasaki GTR-1400...

[MSTRS]

The CPU cannot cope with the parameters....meltdown approaching.....arrrrgggh

[Crisis management]

Too many choices!!!


Buuuut, if I really had to it'd be a 1974 Ducati 750SS...

[James Deuce]

Stop thinking. One bike that someone gives you. You're not limited to that bike only.

[Grahameeboy]

I like my bike.................

[The_Dover]

Obtaining the unobtainable....ooh yeah!

:rofl: :lol: :shutup:

he said motorbike.....

[DMNTD]

MV Augusta Senna...
I already own the bike that I dig BUT if money wasn't an issue...definitely the Senna purely for its handling,power deliverance and wank factor.
Have had a decent thrash of one at Taupo and there's nothing that comes close riding-wise IMO

[DMNTD]

jesus dumted, you could have leaned it over some.
Mate it's Jebus not jesus and farked if I'm going to ride someone's $70g bike how I ride my poxy ol' thang :shutup:

[NZsarge]

'07 FZ1S/'07 R1/'07 FJR1300/'07 ZX14...... I'd flip a coin.

[placidfemme]

Ahhh so many choices... overall... this would be the #1 option :)

*keeps dreaming*

[MisterD]

:rofl: :lol: :shutup:

he said motorbike.....

Two wheels: Check
Engine: Check
Not a Honda: Check.

Whatcho talkin' bout Willis?

[Swoop]

Someone rocked up to you tomorrow and said you can have any bike you want?
I would have to ask how far would one have to bend over for this said bike... (initial reaction, naturally)


Britten.

Beautiful.
Revolutionary.
Rare.

[disenfranchised]

Can't decide.

MV Augusta F4
Triumph Speed Triple
Honda NAS - if it existed

[avgas]

Munch Mammut.
Because its like a sledge hammer, slow, heavy, and not very effective.......but you never fuck with a guy swinging a sledge hammer.

[sels1]

Stop thinking. One bike that someone gives you. You're not limited to that bike only.


In that case...one of these...2300cc Triumph Rocket...just for fun

[bistard]

Geez Jim,this is a tough one!!
I would try & decide between 1980s CB1100R,wire wheel,black pipe Katana 1100,or Kawasaki Z1R Turbo
Or one of the Steve Roberts aluminium or plastic fantastic bikes,ooh a Mcintosh suzuki
A Britten,a Moto GP bike
Umm the 1950s MotoGuzzi 500cc V8
Oh shit where do I stop
Jim you are a bastard!!

[k14]

Here we go, 07 Aprilia RSW125

[peasea]

No need to worry about practicality. No need to worry about operating costs, or insurance, no need to give a rat's banana about what people would think of you.


Something with nitromethane in the tank would be interesting.

[SARGE]

oh yea ... and one of these...


with NitroMethane in the tank.....

[skelstar]

Munch Mammut for those who like bigger pics...

[Mutley]

For those that have watched American chopper their Black widow bike or the Shelby cobra bike would be my pick.:yes: :love:

[pritch]

I haven't had my bike long so I'd probably buy the same thing again (VFR).
If we are talking a second bike, it'd be an Aprillia RS250, and if the "money no object" ran to a third, it'd be a Harley.

[et al]

999R Xerox

[imdying]

Would have to be the trickest bike I could find... enter, the Vyrus 985 C3 4V

http://www.vyrus.it/it/motorcycle/985.asp

Woof. That is all.

[SPman]

Munch Mammut for those who like bigger pics...
Oh - the modern Munch Mammut - with the turbo Vectra motor!

Me - a Beale Replica Honda RC166!

[BarBender]

If practicality, operating costs, insurance etc...werent a consideration. I doubt I would be getting one bike.

[rainman]

Hmmm... Any one of these would do me OK. Prolly the M50 as first choice.

Although I'd leave the naff windshield off the Harley.




Let the flamewars begin...

[desmo dave]

I could live with doing the push starts:yes:

[Sanx]

So many choices, so little time (before dinner):

Ducati Desmosedici RR (http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2007/FamilyPage.jhtml?family=DesmosediciRR)
Aprilia SXV 5.5 (http://www.aprilia.com/modelli/road/modello.asp?id=75)
MV Agusta F4 R312 (http://www.mvagusta.it/_vti_g2_ver.aspx?IdVer=123&rpstry=27_)
Norton Nemesis prototype (http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/prototype-spy-concept/Norton-Nemesis.htm)
Confederate B120 Wraith (http://www.confederate.com/confederate2/c2-links/machines-wraith.html)

Yep - that'll do for now.

[JayRacer37]

Rossi's last NSR500.

Oh baby Oh Baby...seconded to the fullest extent. I want....*lustful, semi-psycotic grin*

And i'll have one 'o' those MV Agusta F4 1000 312R's now ur asking......In white.

[JayRacer37]

I could live with doing the push starts:yes:

Push starts??? Good luck to ya matey........:yes:

[Storm]

As has been mentioned:

The Y2K. Comes with a 400km/h or your money back promise. No-ones claimed it. And cos its a freaking jet engine on wheels:D

[Colapop]

Hmmm I don't know enough about bikes.. to know anything... but one of these two would be good...

Suzuki B King 07 - due for release late 2007
Aprilia RSVR 07 - at TSS waiting..

[Waylander]

One of these aswell as my current one with a few mods.

To name two.

[Romeo]

Good thing money is not a problem, because I would need a few million for product development and testing. Add to that no insurance worries, because due to the unfortunate frame geometry and tyre limits an accident at high speed would be likely.

The Yamazuki GSX-FZ 250 "GNUSA" K9
"Artists representation" model shown.

And a man would need a Dream Lid as well,

I really don't know what my dream bike would be. It would help if I actually had a bike to begin with. <a href="http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006models-Suzuki-HyabusaGSX1300R_Limitedm.jpg">I'd love to own a LM white K6 Hayabusa one day - even if it's just to look at</a>.

[Sensei]

Wanted one of these so just brought one ! Then this is next 07 RSVR Factory High RES

[Colapop]

See? Someone else with great taste!!

[Sensei]

Hmmm I don't know enough about bikes.. to know anything... but one of these two would be good...

Suzuki B King 07 - due for release late 2007
Aprilia RSVR 07 - at TSS waiting..

Thats an 06 RSVR Colapop , still Top piece of kit

[Colapop]

Shhh.... (I did say I didn't know nothing)... but I'd have an 07 or 08 if I could get one...

[Waylander]

Shhh.... (I did say I didn't know nothing)... but I'd have an 07 or 08 if I could get one...
The 07 frames are a darker gold, like the 06s have on the wheels from what I hear. Looks a bit better than the pale spray paint gold the 06 frames.

[Titanium]

But with the MAB-Power 300 hp turbo kit!

[Sensei]

The 07 frames are a darker gold, like the 06s have on the wheels from what I hear. Looks a bit better than the pale spray paint gold the 06 frames.

The second bike in my post is the lastest 07 Factory

[Biff]

Benelli Tres.

[Blondini]

One of these please:yes: :love:

[gamgee]

an 07 Yamaha R6
and a Triumph Sprint ST
and if there's enough left over a triumph speed triple

I love single sided swing arms and R6's

[gamgee]

[avgas]

I wouldn't know where to find one.....

It might be nice to have 2 bikes?

Is that the old Black Shadow concept from a few years back?

[avgas]

Oh yeh i still want that Bimota 500 VDue as well.
Well thats assuming that this is an ideal world and i would never have a problem with it

[ruphus]

Yoshi Katana

[NZsarge]

One of these aswell as my current one with a few mods.

To name two.

[stanko]

[vifferman]

I've thought about this a lot, and i just dunno.
Probably a 1098 or F4.

[crshbndct]

this bike

[Big Dog]

this bike

because adrenalin is what its all about eh?

I hope whoever did that is charged with a crime!

Journos the world over have called the 'busa a work of ugly but really this takes the cake.

Would be alright if the frontal minimalism was matched on the rear but it just looks like those photoshops people keep sending around the net of what would happen if two dissimilar animals mated and procreated.:sick:

that would be the machine that does power wheelstands at 300km/h as ridden by Ghostrider. 499hp. who cares what it looks like............

[BuFfY]

I would have this one...

[Crasherfromwayback]

Only the sexiest 500cc race bike ever built. And to think they sold them too.

Only six digits with powerball away from owning one though....http://www.rapidbikes.com.au/modified_cagiva.php

Lucky dreams are free....:love:

And... www.classic-motorcycles.com/stock.asp?Lang=en&Ref=DX11

[TS99]

MV AGUSTA F4R 312

link: http://www.mvagusta.it/_vti_g2_ver.aspx?IdVer=123&rpstry=27_

[Colapop]

[The Pastor]
