    Pipe dreams?

    Hey yall,
    Just to satisfy my nosy tendancies will you please answer me 2 things?.

    A) What is your dream bike? - The one you could have if money was no object.

    B) What is the bike you are currently working towards? - what is your goal for the moment.

    For example mine would be.

    A) Triumph T-Bird storm with aftermarket Pipes and Z bars (amongst some other mods)

    B) Triumph Speedmaster (odd name for a cruiser dont ya think)

    Dunno .. I'm still enjoying the ones I currently own ... Maybe Harley 1200 '72 ?? I like the old school styling .. but I'd put lower bars on it ... I would kinda like to own a harley before I die ...
    Maybe a BSA Rocket Three ???
    Maybe a BSA Gold Star (yeah ... I'd probably go classic rather than modern ...)

    B) What is the bike you are currently working towards? - what is your goal for the moment.
    A Suzui GS1200SS - I like the Bandit engine and how it produces power .. and I like the cafe racer style .. in the GS1200 you get both ... and I would tart it up a bit with a custom paint job and some goodies ... change the pipes, wave brake rotors .. yoshi cams .. big carbs ...

    For example mine would be.

    A) Triumph T-Bird storm with aftermarket Pipes and Z bars (amongst some other mods)

    B) Triumph Speedmaster (odd name for a cruiser dont ya think)
    Names are from Triumph's meridan history ... but yes, Speedmaster seems strange for what is basicaly a cruiser

    I'm really happy with my YX600 right now, but in the future, I wouldn't mind a Monster or a Street Triple.

    I would swap my XJR for an MT-01 tomorrow.

    Never ridden one, but a chap on one pulled up next to me in traffic the other day and the sound was amazing, looked horn too.

    All of them. One day I will own a massive wear house somewhere, full with every kind of motorbike you can imagine, and my own private race track to ride them all on. For a fee, I may let people look through the window.

    Anything. I usualy just wait untill I decide I have enough money/need to buy another bike, then buy the best one I can find at the time for the money I have, and park up the old one. Although, it would be cool if I could aford a black ZX14, that thing is sex on wheels.

    Maybe I'm just really easy to please or have low expectations.

    But I'd really love to have either an NC30 VFR400 or an NC35 RVF 400. I love the classic look of em, and having a bike that has some go-juice but you can still give it shit and remain (mostly) legal really appeals. Plus, that v-4 sound and single sided swing arm

    I'd also like to own a litre bike one day (waaaaaaaay in the future). Something really appeals about something that mental

    Definitely saving my pennies and working towards either of the 400s. The RVF is even LAMS approved

    Dream bike? Money no object? My GSXR1000 stripped down and rebuilt with the all new bits I considered I needed plus any other aftermarket goodies I haven't already got.

    Bike I'm working towards? The bike above.

    I get kind of attached to my bikes. I'll never get rid of this one, and I can't begin to think of what I could [shudder] replace it with. I did mention to some friends recently that I could be tempted to replace it though with an SP2, but quickly retracted that statement. It made me feel a little ill.
