    Sadly, My current bike.
    It has been fantastic, I still feel jazzed everytime I hear the quartet of horny angels burst in to song.
    She can be hustled.
    She can be cruised.
    She can tour.
    She is more bike than I will ever be a rider.
    As old age approaches I might regret that choice but hey it's not like there is not room for modification.

    However you said unlimited funds so I guess an exact scale replica 5% bigger.

    And I am not talking cc's although that would need to go up by the same amount to cope with the extra weight.

    1993 RGV500 RE (Road Edition). Same power as Kevin' bike, weighs 12kg more though with road gear. An endless supply of gearboxes/pistons/rings/bearings and the best two-stroke oil money can buy. When I'm too old to ride it, well that's the day they bury me.

    Probably the B-King for me, have loved its looks since the first time I saw it way back in 2001.

    Or the Y2K turbine engine bike. That sounds so unlike anything else on the road!

    Keep the CX and use the funds for oil replenishment.

    It'll do it all and the write ups are bordering on fanboi...

    The CR&S Vun, the engine might only be a 650cc rotax single-cylinder putting out a measly 68bhp, but it only weighs 130kg. Its italian, its sexy, its exclusive, and its designed for maximum fun around town and through the twisties.

    Oooh a tuffy, since I would want to ride it when I'm old and decrepid so something fun, comfy and since I'm an engineer, stupidly over engineered....only one brand for it then...a bimota. Think i'll go pick one out from their homepage...mmm...yummy.

    I'd get a BMW R1200GS.

    Because I know that it will be running in 25 years, and that parts will still be available.

    Oddly enough when I read magazines and write ups and compare statistics and specifications I 'want' a Desmosedici, or at the very least a 1098s but when I actually park my arse on my little 53hp 583cc air cooled twin and take it for a blat through some nice twisties - I'm actually very happy withe the bike I've got. I don't feel I could justify owning any more power.

    I must be weird.

    If they ever get it to MotoGP level I'd love to have a MotoCzysz C1 in my garage. RC212V wouldn't be so bad either.

    Not entirely practical but imagine the track day fun.

    Couldn't pick if I could only own one.
