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

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).

The ST4S is a Ducati. I don't think the Panigale has a dry clutch so I like the sound of mine more ;-)

Great thread!
1985 or so (1st generation air and oil cooled) GSXR1100. Any year RGV500 Gamma (Square Four 2 stroke street legal 1990's Suzuki Grand Prix bike). Manx Norton. Brough Superior. 1884-1985 RZ 350 (I had one of these, wish I still did) Any Bimota or some more Ducatis of any flavor. Maybe a 916.
