2005 KTM 950 Adv S, and a KTM 690 R and a 450 EXC, and a KTM 300 EXC and a trials bike of some sort. That enough :D

950 S would be first cab of the rank though.

Cheers R

[bart]

Don't ask why, but I'd quite like one of these

[dino3310]

i gotta go with cooneyr with the 950se.
but then again i would settle for a brand spanking DR650.

NAAA Im already riding my dream ADV bike

Ask Garry.W........... I don't think many were made. I just like the minimalist aproach. At first glance they don't look much, but look a bit deeper, and fooking awesome.

Nay - the SE is the dirt bike and the Adv S is the blue tall suspension KTM adventure (or orange if it is pre 2004 when the silver bikes were the standard height Adv).

see how thick that skid plate is, or is it a tank or something.

My problem is the wife, not the money - if it wasn't for her indoors; next to my loved Bandit 1200s I would have a KTM Superduke 990 (is that an adventure bike), and a Triumph Rocket and a Aprilla RSVR1000 and a ...... well you get the idea

dont know, i think smoky should buy one so we can sus it out

[Box'a'bits]

From a practical standpoint, a KTM 950 adventure S would be useful (ready to go, reliable etc).

But really, from a purely personal standpoint of building & riding what I built, something like this would be grand. Already have the frame, need the suspension off the KTM....Would like a donor motor, but realistically have that in the shed as well...

[Box'a'bits]

Or maybe this....

Or an HPN BMW Dakar bike....

[YellowDog]

I there was no budget and loads of garaging, I think 3 bikes would be in order:

1. Adventure Bike
2. Sports Bike
3. Cruiser

As for which one of each to get, that would be the fun part getting to test ride and choose.

[smoky]

Actually, years ago I had a CR480, just like the one in the photo.
what a handful - loved it.

Yep exactly the one that JezzaNZ has. 05 model an all - lucky basdage ;)

$31K new - when you could get one - but I couldn't help it :crazy:

if Jennifer Anniston held two wheels, would that count as a bike? If so that would be my pick....

that still wouldnt be a cheap bike...

[babysteps]

I'm riding it now, Vespa PX 200 :scooter:

[BMWST?]

i would buy a xtz 750 and a tdm 900 and do a motor swap and add some light modern wheels suspension brakes and redo the electrical system.Does that count?

[junkmanjoe]

if thats what you wanted to do if you had the money, then yea it counts...

[Padmei]

Damn I've just realised how much I love old Bmws & the new HP. They would have to be on the list of bikes to get. What would that desert BM actually be like to ride though? Heavy handling?


I'd have to get an old ten I think too...

GaryW are you coming thru the Sth island at any stage? Just asking....

you would have to build two so you can sell one to me

[Paladin]

I'm just waiting to see if the much talked about KTM 690 Adventure arrives and what that looks like! Have some vague notion I might be salivating over it a tad!!! :whistle:

At the moment the "690 Enduro R" makes me dribble as I love the looks and I can't get my head around owning a big big big bike like the 950 or a 990 or whatever, but I have to say everytime I hear Jezza's 950 tear off, the sounds gives me a hard on!!!!!!!

:banana::banana::banana:

[Garry.W]

For sure, tend to make a couple of trips a year down South.

Next won't probably be until October but definitly over New Year and two weeks March 2010.

[Taz]

I'd get a DRZ400.
Anyone want to swap one for a Ducati??

[junkmanjoe]

it looks neat, just all black.

[.chris]

HP2
RVX450
BSA B25
Speed Triple
KT250 (1970's)

And then a bunch of bikes to fill the gaps between.

Seconded - there is just something about them that reminds me of my old TS.....looks super reliable and unbreakable.
Kinda like a bike version of a tank

[driftn]

If I had the money I would give My K3 Thou a lift chuck some off road tyres on and go do some stupid shit.

Totally pointless bike to do it to but as the title says, If you had the money.
Thats what id do if I did.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well, what about you now? what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well, yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.
