the same bike I always want (and never should've sold)
An RC51 with a bunch of Swedish and Italian parts on it

What bike do you want today?
- Thread starter inreb
- Start date
I see this thread as one of those hypothetical questions like "If you could have any bike, what would it be?"
Apply the same question to cars. Some people would say a new Nissan GTR, others would say a 1966 Ferrari 330 P3. No comparison between those two choices.

1985 Yamaha RZ500
1965 Honda Superhawk (maybe in the spring time?)
2014 Honda VFR800 in white (maybe in the spring time?) however will settle for a 2006+ abs model.
1975 Chopper with a king and queen seat.
already own a 1993 VFR750 in white and an 85 NS400R (in progress of rebuilding from ground up with new oem parts).

ah yes I understand.. the new 2013/2014 colour scheme for the "R" version (the white one with the red trim) fits into that bracket.
I see this question more in a realistic consumer sense. If we're lucky most of us can afford one or two decent bikes, but there are so many choices. What bike do you desire that you could make happen?
That was how I saw your question. I have a Ducati Diavel. That would have been my answer before I got one. The Vincent if I had the money.
Even an H-R-D would get it done, it wouldn't even need to say Vincent on the tank. A Porcupine BMW for track days, factory Dakar for grocery day and a 750 bevel because nearly everybody here hates them (except the 12 guys that know what it is). And my Brough, and Brough.....
Pretty much any bike I want is way more than I could use/handle but I love the idea of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera.
I also like the concept Suzuki Recursion:
588cc turbocharged & intercooled parallel twin making 100HP and 74 ft-lbs in a package weighing 385-lbs.

Well that makes for a pretty boring thread.
The man with the plan. Ever heard of him? We all know somebody like that, don't we?
I copied this thread idea from Advrider verbatim. The one over there is 538 pages of boredom. Boring new submissions daily.
New thread ideas:
- What do you want for breakfast today?
- What colour shirt are you wearing?
- What laundry detergent do you use?
All excellent ideas. Also we should have threads about peoples' fantasies. One of my biggest daily thrills is listening to people talk about what they are going to do but have no hope of achieving.
Aside from the drum brakes,which would make me nervous, everything about that bike draws me to it. Its not terribly pretty, but I can't stop looking.I'm really very happy with my garage as it is.But an Egli Vincent would be nice on sunday mornings.
In addition I'd like a 2005+ CBR1100xx, and a KTM 1190.
Pancakes, same as every day.
White.
Whatever is on sale.

Hypothetical, pal. Get with the program
Ducati 916, 996, 998, 748. Thats what I really wanted when I bought my monster, price wise they were out of reach in 2001. Today they sell used for chump change... It is hard to keep my wallet in my pocket.
Not to many brand new bikes these days do it for me, all emotion, no logic..
