If you could buy a new bike.

[FROSTY]

Money is no object-You just want the best-the very best.
What will you buy and why??

[StoneChucker]

One of those pocket bikes. They look like Wikd fun. Otherwise an 04 R6, and turn it into a track bike (with all the bells and whistles). :beer:

[カワサキキド]

only one bike?

[Antallica]

1992 CBR250RR

But hey, if I wasn't getting a car I could get one ;)

[Mr Skid]

1992 CBR250RR

Money is no object? That'd extend to being able to pay the infringement notices for riding something more fun than a 250 on a learners right?

Personally I've been feeling a strange unexplicable attraction to guzzi's just recently :love2: :wacko:

[ edit: I think I've found out why.. ]
A description of the V11 Le Mans Rosso Corsa from motoguzzi.it:
Here is a bike for the connoisseur, to be savoured like a fine wine, mile after mile. Every pulse of its new engine is a pulse of pleasure. The frame guarantees dependable, instant and precise handling. The half fairing provides ample rider protection. The chassis delivers the sort of ride the others can only envy.

Pulsating pleasure? :eek: Where do I sign up?

Bet I'd never get that sorta enjoyment from some jappa tupperware racer..

[Antallica]

Actually I'm a rather small dude so it's a tad hard to actually sit on a bigger bike. I.e. me trying to sit on a CBR600R and a VTR1000. Not good.

400's I can do, but anything higher in cm's & cc's and I'm having trouble there.

[Holy Roller]

Money is no object-You just want the best-the very best.

For me it would have to be a one of a kind custom job reflecting who I am. Why ride something every one else has?

[James Deuce]

Ducati ST3.

[White trash]

Ducati ST3.

Ghey.

Gixxer of some description.

[Cajun]

be something along lines of a motogp bike, or a gixxer with all the hp i could get out of it

[Slim]

One 2005 Triumph Daytona 650 in red please. :D :banana:

[Joni]

04 R6 - silver..... mmmmmm

[Blakamin]

Probably the Ducati Bayliss replica that i saw for $58,000

[James Deuce]

Ghey.

Gixxer of some description.
Morning mate. :)

[jrandom]

One-a them $90,000 carbon fibre F4-1000s with a name that sounds like a coffee machine.

[vifferman]

One-a them $90,000 carbon fibre F4-1000s with a name that sounds like a coffee machine.... and an engine that sounds like a coffee grinder?:crazy:

I'd have 5 (five) bikes, as apparently it's the right number. I'm not deciding right now - I'm going to take my good time to enjoy the testing and choosing process. And it's going to take me months. :2thumbsup

[Juan]

Hey thats MV's god, Tamburini, the one I would also buy :niceone:

[sbwells]

I'd be going for a '05 Ducati 999s. Have a look on www.ducati.com these look to be the dogs

[jrandom]

Tamburini

That's the one.

Two sugars, and just a dash of warm milk. Ta.

[toads]

1992 CBR250RR

But hey, if I wasn't getting a car I could get one ;)

hey my son has one of those for sale, do you wanna buy it?

[toads]

For me it would have to be a one of a kind custom job reflecting who I am. Why ride something every one else has?


Yeah, HR, we think along the same lines, we like the look of the polaris victory motorcycles, they are custom chopper/cruisers and are nicer looking than harley's although they are also american bikes, you can get them customised to suit your personality when you buy them new, drool....

[vifferman]

I would. :)

But not either of these.

[TwoSeven]

Probably a vincent black shadow :)

[Magua]

Aprilia RSV 1000R 2004, I know nothing about it's performance. It just looks awesome :yes: .

[Blakamin]

Ducati MONSTER!

[thehollowmen]

As much as I'd like to say something classy like a Bosshoss, or the tomohawk...

What would probably suit me best is a Suzuki bandit 1200 (I think I got that right) or equivilent... maybe a Tiger 955i with mag wheels or a BMW K1200CL ... yeah I know the BMW is ugly but it would be nice to take the wife out for rides to chch and back

[jrandom]

classy ... Bosshoss

Eh?


bandit 1200

This is supposed to be a thread about, you know, *dream* bikes.

[thehollowmen]

This is supposed to be a thread about, you know, *dream* bikes.

yeah and I'm dreaming there... a few years and I'll get one ;-)

[Yokai]

Thruxton 900 - resprayed 1966 Triumph Silver. Corbin seat rather than the stock.

See - I have a style thing with bikes - Not too sporty (Though there are some LOVELY Ducatis about) and not too cruisery (Unless it's an Indian - classic lines are hard to get away from).

I like the cafe racer thing - *shrug* sorry all but I Don't Care!

;)

Yo
:wavey:

[Pwalo]

Dream bikes, mmmm...

I'd love an MV F4, but reality is I could put one on HP if my better half agreed so I guess it's not really a dream bike (????).

What about an NR750, with a dedicated team of mechanics of course.

[James Deuce]

I'd be going for a '05 Ducati 999s. Have a look on www.ducati.com these look to be the dogs
They certainly do look like dogs.

Oh - sorry that's not what you meant is it? :)

[vifferman]

WOOP! WOOOP!! Pedantrist alert!!
It's actually an NR.
(Wheew!! Glad I've got that off my chest...)
There was a brand-new one for sale last year (?) on the interweb, and it came with a mechanic! IIRC, it was a mere $US85k. And I have a friend in Seedneee who knows someone (in one of the clubs he belongs to) who has an NR, and races it. Well, at least goes through the motions of wheeling it around the racetrack at some speed on trackdays.

[F5 Dave]

A fully sorted Bimota VDue, they way they envisaged it would work -not the stuff up that rolled off the production line.

In the absence of the clearly impossible - I’d make do with a road registered (& detuned) NSR500V twin with a pit crew to follow me around rebuilding it.

Best they pack a few spare fairing panels while they are at it. :doh:

[Coldkiwi]

Aprilia RSV SP - too sexy for words and oh- what a noise!

[vifferman]

Aprilia RSV SP - too sexy for words and oh- what a noise!Speaking of RSVs - who was it that asked KBers iffen he should get an R1 or some obscenely cheap RSV? Has the scoundrel got it yet?:wacko:

[gav]

I'd settle for Alex Barros' RCV211V as he wont be needing it next year :msn-wink:http://images.motograndprix.com/multimedia2/300/300839_96246.jpg

[erik]

Those Ducati Monsters are pretty darn cool, but really I'd have to do a whole heap of test riding all sorts of different bikes before I could decide :)

Yeah you got me on that, I really should have known better. Still it'd certainly be something to scare the bejeezuz out of the commuters on a Monday morning. Wonder how it would like idling down the Gorge.

Guess I'll have to stop dreaming, and polish the old GS some more.

[idb]

Did anyone see the article on the new Bimota Tesi 2D a couple of Two Wheels back - weird but strangely alluring. About $50,000 AUSD. I'd have one!
Or...or...or... a new MV F4 1000 - just plain beautiful.

[Batcerb]

Mine would have to be the road verson of the Foggy Petronas Trip :love2:

http://photos.motorcycle-usa.com/Petronasbike.jpg

Something VERY different for the road! Awesome triple sound + cool fireworks display :)

Not very different for the garage tho...... Pile of Sh1t imo

[aff-man]

hmmmmm of course the f4 or rsvr factory and while i had the money maybe throw in an 05 triumph 955i and that guzzi in hamilton.





(after my collection of dukes of course)

[geoffm]

It would have to be a Spondon RG500 with a Mark Dent motor and all th efruit. Thirsty, anti social and loud, and an enviromental nightmare on 2 wheels...
...and summat like a new Beemer with luggage for the longer trips or pillions
Geoff

[Two Smoker]

Well ofcourse it would have to be a GSX-R600 K4 :msn-wink: thats a bike where i could eventually push it to its limits.....

If it was for wank factor and money was no object, and it was rideable on the road.... The Britten would be for me.... or a MotoGP bike.....

Still think a full tricked 916 Duc would be a great ride to have for a weekend
blaster / Turbo Triple ,may still do it to mine yet ,supercharged ZX12R with nitro/methane injection yummy SENSEI :niceone:

[ALTRON]

Honda RC45
2nd. MV F4 1000 (in original red and silver :)

[Krayy]

Just to keep the Kiwi flag flying, one pink and blue V1000 Britten please :)

[Storm]

Gixxer 6 with a fully customised, airsprayed paint job :sunny: :niceone:

[Motoracer]

I am happy with my bike but if a bike were to fall out of the sky with my name written on it for some odd reason, I'd wish for a 2004 silver R1 for the road or a 2004 GSX-R600 K4 for the race track...

[Jackrat]

A new 1979 SX650.

[NC]

An R7

Ehehehehe! :love2:

[mccool]

I fancy showing up at the Brass Monkey on one of these. With indicators of course...

[Bonez]

CB750 Nighthawk or Zepher 750 (I've never needed anything over 750cc). Failing that a W650 (because it has a kickstart, centre stand and is very underated).

[Jackrat]

CB750 Nighthawk or Zepher 750 (I've never needed anything over 750cc). Failing that a W650 (because it has a kickstart, centre stand and is very underated).

There's a VERY nice NightHawk on "Trade me" right now.

[Angry Puppy]

Ducati 998 Matrix Limited Edition. Nice! :niceone:

[Bonez]

There's a VERY nice NightHawk on "Trade me" right now.
Damn you Jackrat(pops over to TM for a gander;)
Tis a goody alright. It's got a smaller US market tank though by the looks. Also I get tad suspicious when a new TM member pops in to bid.

[DebK]

Still would like an MV Augusta Brutale... but with no $ limit it would have to be the limited edition Brutale F4 Serie Oro... or the F4 S http://www.mvagustausa.com/2003mvagusta/images/f4s/F4S1_1024.jpg

Now I'm no expert but I do like the look of both bikes. I had a decent look (not ride) at some Ducati's and the Brutales at Motomart a few weekends ago and I must say that the Ducati models on display looked very cheap in comparison to the workmanship & detail of the wee Brutale.

my thoughts exactly, except for the detuned bit, ride the ass off it and make the mechanics earn thier keep :eek: prolly need a deal with dunlop and HRC to keep the spares coming (and southern cross too :wacko: )

[NC]

Ducati 998 Matrix Limited Edition. Nice! :niceone:


:shit: :shit: I want one!!!!

yep but only if it came with flamage

[cycosis]

would have to be the latest MV AUGUSTA,Sickness

[カワサキキド]

2005 zx-6r, resprayed in black.( I haven't seen the new 12r yet)
http://zx6r.com/

[matthewt]

:shit: :shit: I want one!!!!


Motomart in Lower Hutt have one for sale at the moment. Not cheap but it's a lovely bike.

[matthewt]

I'd settle for Alex Barros' RCV211V as he wont be needing it next year :msn-wink:

Is this close enough ??

[matthewt]

Still would like an MV Augusta Brutale...

Deb, PM me with a mailing address and I'll send you something that I got recently. I'd leave it on your bike but if it rained or was flogged it would be a pity (not expensive but probably the only one in NZ).

[enigma51]

Ducati 999r 05
Always wanted Duc 916 or above
