What is your 'grail bike, and have you ever owned it?
Discussion
Triggered by the Benelli in the how many bikes thread...
My 'grail bike is the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800 RR. Just love it, still not sure if I will ever own one due to the variable nature of MV's bank account, but we'll see.
Plus I'd have to get rid of the FZ-09 as it's a very similar bike...
Post a pic too.

Although I love 1990’s Japanese sports bike, I’ve always wanted an early 1970’s US Spec T120 Bonnie, I think it’s as close to perfection as a motorcycle should be. There is not a bad angle, it’s just stunning. They probably ride like ste, but that’s not the point.

Yes, absolutely stunning.Edited by Gunk on Monday 15th January 23:11
I had a 1969 USA export 650cc TR6 in maroon in 1972, but the previous original owner took the original upswept pipes off and replaced them with short megaphones....fool. (Sold it for £365)

Isn't that like the one they restored on the motorcycle show? Why US spec, what makes it better/different?Edited by Gunk on Monday 15th January 23:11
Every logical bone in my body says they are stupid, unreliable, slow, inefficient. But I do love them to bits. Never owned one, dream would be to buy one in Russia and ride it back, would need to be a '06 onwards model when they started fitting good components, Brembo disks, Ducati ignition, Japanese electronics.
