Just a KTM EXC 525 for me. Always wanted to do track days on bikes at Phillip Island & Laguna Seca so they'd be on the list. Other than that just a shed load of trails riding in Ohio and Nevada - both have some amazing tracks and trails in abundance

Nice house with a garage that's ~4 times bigger than the living quarters. Keep working where I do as I love it. Buy a motorhome, nowt too flash just something newish and reliable. I'd keep the 29 KTT, get a nice Velo' Venom Clubman (like Dawg from here has),build a NorVin, something new and usable (VFR1200 or something), plus an RC45 or R7 (depending which I saw first  ) and a 748R. A Honda engined Elise (until I could take delivery of a new V6 Exige) and something comfy with a towbar. The rest (well, the 19p that's left) would go in my new local's till  ETA; Oh, and I'd like an AC Ace too. A soft top one, not an Aceca, and with a Bristol engine. I'm easy on the colour though

Some carbon fibre BST wheels, and more titanium bits and bobs than you could possibly imagine could be fitted to a bike.
Buy next door, knock into one, giving me scope to put a machine shop in there and make lots of shiny bike bits for profit and pleasure.
Not to mention plenty of track days, travelled there in a nice shiny mercedes vito van.

Not much chance of that; everyone wants a shiny thing but nobody wants to pay for it, in my experience. Anyway, if I win the Lotto I'll give you my machine shop, how's about that?

I'd buy a ex 1990/1991 Yamaha YZR 500 GP bike and race it in an old farts series.
I'd not bother with work anymore as I can think of plenty of things too do. I'd like a massive garage fitted out with all the tools you can think of, a little spray shop out back would be nice too.
I'd be more than happy with a life style like that, I have no interest in owning flash cars or houses neither would I be happy lying on a beach looking at the sun.

Not a lot, a million doesn't go very far nowadays.
Probably buy a couple of S1000RRs for track.

S1000RR for me to play on. Some BST carbon wheels and a hole shot big bore mod on my Blackbird. Some made to measure leathers and pay someone to do our garden.
Probably a tasty car of some sort too.

D16 for posing, RC45 as my piece of nostalgic fluff, and probably an RSV4 for hooning and/or trackdays. I'm not sure I could part with my SRAD though so I'd probably treat the old girl to carbon wheels, Galfers, ali tank etc etc and turn her in to a rolling advert for wasting money. I'd definitely need to save room in my garage for my twin turbo'd, hemi powered, tube framed '57 Chevy....but that's for another section

Me and the wife spent just £25k on a trip round the world on a year out incl getting married. Some suggestions like this one sjtscott said: Then I'd travel all over SE Asia by bike including doing vietnam on a proper bike and better than those idiots on Top Gear!  The trip would encompass visiting friends in Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. costs about £60 a day for a couple (don't forget Cambodia and Laos as well!) - just bloomin' go and do it!! Then there is the whole "it aint what you got, its what you do" thing. I do tons of trackdays and foreign trips on my doggy old fully-paid-for R1 running on tyres pulled out the skip. A mate's just traded his 954 Blade for the latest one and all he uses it for is a summer kneescrape around the same old roads in Oxfordshire, going to the same old Monday night bikey night (once is enough to send a glass eye to sleep!). He "might" do a trackday or bikie road trip next year. In my head I'm already a millionaire and do pretty much what I want to. Often the main problem for me at the moment is money, if I really did win the lottery this Friday the main problem would definately be money!

To paraphrase George Best. I'd spend a lot on birds booze and fast cars, I'd just squander the rest.

I never check my ticket/online thingy very often as it annoys me that I never win. I logged in last night though and it said I had one message. Excitedly, I pressed on the messages thing and I'd won... £2 f  king 80 pence! Not even enough to buy a magazine to look at bikes I'd buy if I really won!! And as for a million not being much these days, it would be perfect. Carry on with my happy little life, just never have another mortgage and have a bit of disposable moolah, but not have to change life too much. Lovely
