Classic Bike Wish List.

[Voltaire]

I went classic in 1986 with the purchase of a r75/5, not classic at the time but I liked the pre 70's styling combined with 70's engineering.
I also bought a Bevel Ducati which at 8 years, twin shocks, air cooled was concidered old.
20 years later I still have them.

Always fancied a Norton Interstate and a 900SS,and a Mk1 lemans,....
Z1r, Moto Morini 3 1/2, Jota......

So....
Whats your classic bike wish list, and why.
Preferabably ones that are actually affordable.....as lists starting with Black Shadow, Brough Superior SS100, Manx Norton and so on have been done to death

[Taz]

Kawasaki GPz900R. GSXR750H Yes these are now classics......

[Katman]

My top three.

The WW Katana, a CB1100R and an Eddie Lawson replica.

I'm a third of the way there.

[Pussy]

Yamaha XS 650E

[Motu]

Rickman,with engine of my choice...have yet to choose.Wasp - ditto.

I would like a DB Goldstar,several,with lots of bits - so I could have a road race Goldy,an off road Goldy.....a cafe Goldy,and an ADV Goldy.I don't put a Goldstar in as exotic - they were only a pushrod single based on the B31 and B33,with many parts interchangable.

I'd liked an XR1000 - to make into a Streettracker.

An Eldorado - because they are just the coolest looking bike ever built.

A Panhead bobber - because there is classic,and there is Classic.

Yeah Katman,that is the same list I have in my head,I am building up a GSX1100ET wire wheel jobbie
I did have a 1982 Kawasaki GPZ1100 that I painted Eddie Lawson colours
Would love a Mcintosh,or one of the Steve Roberts specials from the same time period

[F5 Dave]

Bridgestone GTR350, but with some spare GTO pipes & bars so you could swap them over as the mood took you. That T350 on TM atm looks pretty tasty too.

[jimbo]

Magni Monza 810/chain drive etc...... Among'st lots of other things,

[Dodgyiti]

1,Katana pop-up, not fussed on 750 or 1100 but wire wheels would be essential.
2, Norton Mk3 Commando with as much Dunstall on it as I could get.
3, Moto Morini 500cc the early but pretty (troublesome)one or 450 Ducati in street trim

Plus the bikes I have would be a well rounded collection

[Subike]

I would like another Yamaha XS1100, but a special with a side car attached.
That would give me a good pair.
But for classic?
1984 Harley Davidson 1100L sportster, L = Liberty model in burgandy and slate with gold pinstriping. 4 speed cain drive .evolution motor . Yummy

Have only had it a short while and is still spending most of its time on a stand in the garage receiving due care and attention but the couple of spins up and down the driveway have been fun.
Civilianised WD model so a '37 design, rigid rear, girder front, seems slow steering and pot holes will be something to be avoided. Plus the manual advance/retard is something to get used to.
I expect the 18 would be a quicker machine, have seen a magazine review which included a 16H standing quarter run - no time given (guy on stopwatch may have fallen asleep before it got there?) but speed at 440 yds from standing start = 38mph
