Really struggling with this, I change my mind all the time but I'd probably say:


Ducati 996 SPS - 916 was my child hood dream and this is the best version of it in my opinion

My Yamaha R6 2008 - couldn't sell it so would have to be in the collection

A custom Cafe Racer with modern running gear. Taimoshan cafe racer is by far my favorite. Ohlins front and rear end off a Ducati, Custom Norton frame and a nice V-twin out of an RSV. Looks amazing!



(oh and number 4 because I dont think I could get rid of my zx7r either)

Pie in the sky;

1) Late '30's Brough Superior SS100
2) minter than mint, correct, original , all there, unmodded 1956-63 B.S.A DBD34 Clubman's Goldstar
3) Agostini's 1967 TT MV Agusta 500/3



Realistic;
Already got two old one's I thoroughly love
1960 Norton Dominator
1964 Velocette Venom Clubman Mk1

I'd like a metallic orange BMW K1300s to make the trilogy smile

or a fully faired Ducati sport classic s1000

I've not ridden many bikes but part of the reason I'm learning to ride is because I want these bikes.

The Triumph Thruxton is one of the best looking bikes I think you can buy and the riding position suits me like nothing else I've sat on.






In fantasy land I think one of Honda's high-revving 1960s racers would provide sensual exhilaration. Nothing sounds quite like the five-cylinder 125cc racers. I'd love to see what it is like to ride a 125 that revs to just over 20,000rpm, develops twice the power (and then some) of a learner-legal 125 and has an 8-speed gearbox. Something like the RC 149.




I also want a more modern Honda, something like the RC45.




But I realise I don't have a sporty two-stroke bike, maybe in real life I'd swap the RC 149 for a Suzuki RGV250 or a RG500 (which I see is a popular choice here).

After looking back over this thread I still stand by my comment that I couldn't stick to just 3 bikes...
.... in fact I reserve the right to change my original selection after being reminded of some of the beauties posted after me. cloud9

Aren't bikes just bloody brilliant?

I would not know where to start as not been riding for much more than 2.5 years and so many to choose from. Today my list will be as follows, tomorrow it will likely be something entirely different.

Desmo RR - Just because.
Harley Heritage Softail - For Cruising two up with the Mrs.
Triumph 1050 Speed Triple - For hooning round on.

I could be tempted to change the latter for a Thruxton though.

Difficult...

A Warp Speed bike for cross continent travel.

K1300S, 'Busa or ZZR1400.

A bike for mincing around town/sunday afternoon ride etc.

Triumph Thruxton, Scrambler or some sort of custom Harley.

And finally a hooning bike. Probably a KTM Duke 690 with a childishly loud exhaust, or possibly a KTM Freeride E. Stealth hooning.

I would have to go and test them all first though.

Even if I had Euromillions money I can't see myself wanting much more than that. Possibly some sort of project to work on, but that would be it.

1100 Katana for the classic pose
