My wife asked me this question the other day.  Actually the question was more along the lines of "What is your dream motorcycle?"  After lots of thinking, I decided I'd rather buy 3 used rides so I could do some wrenching and have some variety.  My choices:

2010 Versys for around town ($4k used).
2002 Aprilia Futura for longer hauls ($4k used).
A used Vespa Clone (Bajaj Chetak or Genuine Stella) to drive around town.

What would you choose?

The very best/sorted BMW R80GS I could find !!!.

I had 2 of these not very long ago maybe 2 years ago.

Buell 1125R signature edition.



Slap an aftermarket intake and exhaust on it, fix the stock stator, tune the fueling, and enjoy. I do love me some Buell.

wouldnt mind me an xb9s 

Well, one bike store has brand new VStrom 650s for under $9k. Plenty of new and 2nd hand KLR650s for cheap as well.

Cruisers.... I've got a soft spot for Triumph Americas, but most are over $10k but plenty of HOnda Shadows and C50 Boulevards for cheap too.

would like a 650l have one for sale @ shop for under 2400. but need to be damn near 6'4" to touch ground that is a tall assed bike

I think I'd go for a VFR - really nice looking. Though I think I might prefer the VFR-500. I saw one at Backfire Moto and drooled over it.

had a 500 come into the shop today, guy let me take it up to gas station to refuel it. i didnt want to come back it was a fun ride.

Either these:

Yamaha virago 535/750

Suzuki DR350 to convert to a supermoto

Maybe an old Vespa for fun / project


Or, screw all of that, and go for fun:

Ducati hypermotard, then somthing old and cheap for longer rides... hey, a gs500?

A GS500 to ride around on for giggles and stuff. Hey, good idea

No monster love? What is wrong with you people.

too busy riding their gs500's and one bmw. 10g's id go ducati or hd, and one gs, unless i went  "basket case" then i could get all 3 of them. but downside to that plan of attack is that would leave enough cash to make one rideable/safe
