Title: What Bike(s) Would YOU Get If...
Post by: mister on October 23, 2011, 02:09:13 AM
You Had Unlimited Funds and Unlimited Garage Space?

Imagine this. You have a garage bigger than a house and an unlimited supply of money to buy as many or as few motorcycles as you Want. So then, what bikes would you buy to put into your Ultimate Garage?

I'd still keep my GS because it's my first :)

Just for giggles, I'd get a an sv frame and stuff the kawi's parallel 650 in it.
Then I'd stuff the Kawi's frame with the GS motor and sell it.

Then I'd stuff the GS frame with a GSXR1000 motor and then have another GS with a ktm duke motor. Oh just to piss people off, I'd stuff the GS motor into the GSXR1000 frame.

Then I'd get a Triumph Bonneville 08 and later, a BMW R1200C probably all stock.

Cant stand cruisers with V twin motors.
Cool.
Buddha.

Post by: Electrojake on October 24, 2011, 09:21:25 AM
Gee, that's easy. . .  :)
1.) Yamaha Super Tenere to replace my tired DL1000k6.
2.) Kawasaki KLX250SF with a wind screen for running errands & such.
3.) BMW R1200 GS so I could hang with the Big Dogs and talk as if I actually had the time & vitality to use it for it was intended for.

If I could, and I had the means to keep them in all running in top condition, I would like the following:

BMW F800 ST
BMW R 1200R
Kawasaki ZRX 1100 (always wanted one of these!)
Aprilia Tuono (Everyone should try an Italian bike)
Triumph Speed Triple (For the hooligan in me)
'75 Yamaha RD 350 (Everyone needs a little 2-stroke terror!)
Suzuki GSXR 750 (not my type, really, but feel I deserve to give it a go)

If I HAD to have a cruiser, I think I would settle for either of the following:

Exile Cycles Fat Bloke
HD Fat Bob

Wow this is actually quite hard.

I'd have to do something like choose a model of bike and try and get every year it was ever made in every trim.

After that.
DRz400
R1
Street Triple R
Vmax
One of those Victories (not sure exact model)
Goldwing
Busa
And many harleys that I would melt into a puddle.

Is that necessary? They usually leave a big black one of their own under them. (http://www.ozbikers.com/phpbb2/posting.php?mode=reply&f=33&t=3435#)

Yes. Not because I dislike the bikes. They are what they are. Its the riders that think they are gold and can't appreciate them as a bike compared to other bikes. Those are the ones I would buy and melt in front of their former owners.

I'm petty I know.
