Who owns the bike they really want ??

[crazylittleshit]

I know have the bike of my dreams I just traded up to a zxr636 It's great

[sAsLEX]

VTwins do it for me.......so my ultimate bike would be Ducati's 999s.
Not as racey or pricey as the R version but a step up from the standard 999.
There's something about Ducati's and the sound of a twin that makes people stop and stare.

The SV great...looks and sounds great but doesn't have the presence that Ducati's possess.

heard a fila rep 999 the other day sounded shit, not 'the shit' just plain old shit!

was way too muffled and because of that sounded like my old xr, only quiter!!

Quasis old bike and spanks are what vtwins are meant to sound like
edit:alos heard a 749 with the race pipes fitted and that sounded wicked as well

I'm just really happy I got my thou...even tho it wasn't my original dream I have found that reallity can sometimes be much sweeter

[pritch]

I'm past the fastest is best phase, and I'm sure as Hell past wanting something about as comfortable as a torturers rack.

When I decided to buy another bike I decided I wanted something not too big, about 750cc, a comfortable seat, a decent sized tank to give a range of over 300Km, and at least a half-fairing that would keep some of the weather off. It should go, and stop, and handle, reasonably well.

I guess my ultimate bike would be the VFR.

When the Hornet 900s became available at less than two thirds the cost of a VFR though I bought the Hornet. It'll do anything I want even if it doesn't quite match my spec. I can always add a windscreen if it gets too cold...

Still, I await the V5 Honda with interest. :-)

I've had the bike I really wanted twice..... 1st was the CX Turbo.... right from when I was 17 and had my 1st CX500, and the 2nd bike would be the Moto Guzzi 1100i sport... kinda folowing the tradition of the transverse V2.
I'm thinking a MG V11 Nero Corsa or the MGS01 should it ever be made for the rd.

Ok then, as we are doing the revisit thing here and I notice that I never posted the pics of the bikes i mentioned then here we go.
Ps: I would like to add the Griso...... it actually does grow on ya.

damn right they do..... 120hp and a shit load a torque, yours for 70k...... or as a close runner up how bout this, its cheaper http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/models_stw.htm or http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/models_prothunder.htm

I've had my VF500ff for 18 yrs 5 months, not much to go until 20 yrs, & still running well.

I saw a nice Porche today and was thinking if money was no object what would I buy? like naturally I would not own a suzuki RF900 and a Nissan Safari but I would also not want a Porche and an Apprilla I would not know what to Buy. Year ago it was more simple. but there is so much choice.
I think I would get a Mini cooper S but not a new one a restored one and a new Rocket three and a little 250 sports bike.
But its all dream world for now. as for the RF900 I didnt just buy it I planned it for a year. It was the most powerful bike for the dollar/year and thats a fact and while I bit boring and ugly it has 110hp of honest grunt and is in mint condition and for now I love it and kiss it!

Since im still on my restricted & im only alowed a 250 i own the bike ive always wanted - never thought i would have a pair of them though. But if i wasnt restricted to a 250 i would love to have a zx636 or a MV augusta, but the MV is way out of my price range My old man got the bike he always wanted, a 2000 zx9r, that was until they made the zx10 & then he traded the zx9 for one of them. Sofar we have both managed to get the bikes we want, so i guess all i can say is bring on the zx6r

[wkid_one]

I did - then sold it....now I do again

Mate... it is a shit load of money, but as its a very limited edition and a very well sort bike the price isent that far off........ I remember seeing the MV F4 in 99 at a dealer in Oz (was druling over it with Barry Sheen) when it was 1st releiced in full c/f and the price was $75k. Remember the MGS01 is hand made the hole bloody lot of it.....ohhhhhhhhhh its sweet aye

[Flyingpony]

Nearly got the right bike. Got the Suzuki part correct. Now to replace the FXR bit with Hayabusa

SV650 would be about right. Not too big, not too small, just right.

If money were no object, I would get my dream bike - BMW R100CS - and a van for the family - 1970's VW Kombi - and a car - 1970's VW Beetle with 1800cc air-cooled boxer 4. I would then put them all in for total overhauls - fully reconditioned engines; brakes, steering, running gear, bodywork etc all gone over with a fine-toothed comb - bring them up to the standard they were when they first rolled off their respective assembly lines. Effectively I would have three brand-new vehicles but simpler and more robust than most modern vehicles. The cost to maintain them at that level would be cheaper than the maintenance on modern vehicles ("power steering unit? what farking power steering unit?")

Another car I would like would be a Triumph Herald in primo condition - had a Herald once before, great old car. More than capable of the legal speed limit, reliable, one of the best turning circles I've seen in a cage and simple to maintain - I'd have one over pretty much any modern car.
