"IF" you could have ANY Motorcycle, Which One?

SeerAtlas · 05-08-2016, 05:50 PM

OK, If by some miracle, you could wake up tomorrow and find the motorcycle of your dreams, sitting in your garage etc., which one would it be and why. Only one rule:has to be one you don't want just to be able to resell it for cash!

Louis Angel · 05-08-2016, 07:53 PM

Crap. You just HAAAAAAD to throw in that "no resale for cash" bit !!!

.
Well, to be honest, since it is one I would have to KEEP and therefore be "stuck with" riding, , , , at the moment, a 2016 BMW C650GT ( the GT is the soft riding touring edition ). In White if that matters. With heated seat & handgrips, electric power adjustable windscreen, every available option. Not all THAT expensive, but having rode the most part of 120 miles next to one that was a bronze color in our Dead Elvis N9IN rally, , , I was awfully AWFULLY impressed. And the owner of that bike was a 60+ year old lady who put over 55k mi. on her Yamaha majesty 400, and swore this BMW rode better and was more comfortable after a SEVEN HOUR RIDE that she went on weeks before. 0_0 WOW.
So now knocking HARD on the door of turning the big 4 0 , , , comfort is KING in what my heart desires these days. This is why I went and bought a Helix. Comfort + Dirt Cheap to buy! LOL

My 'dream' bike has always been the GSXR-750, but after letting life 'ride' by me, and being too old for a boy racer bike, Suzuki solved the mid-life guy on a sport bike for me by introducing the GSXS-750 standard bike (although for fantasy sake, I would go for the 1000 version).

My ST4S will match the music of the Panigale and raise the ante by the music of a dry race clutch chatter. :-)

I bet Son Of Weld And Grind still remembers the sound.
