If money was no object................

  1. ..................What bike would you buy and why?
     
  2. Morning El Toro, I don't know if just one bike would be enough to do everything would it? I mean can you get a single bike that covers all bases? I guess the closest I could think of is the Multistrada, I haven't ridden the new version, but the old one was quite an eye opener when I test rode it, and if the pillion seat had been longer I would probably have bought it. If the new one has a better seat but has kept the wonderful handling etc then that would be my choice.
     
  3. A magic bike that could travel through space and time...:biggrin:

  4. there wouldn't be just one...

    Honda NR750
    Ducati 1098 / 1198
    keep the SS
    add an old carby SS prob about 92 model
    add a bevel SS
    Norton commando 961
    possibly something like a Pan European
    Norton F1 rotary

    There would be many more....
     
  5. I would buy the MV Ago won on (500ccm) if it was still around. I had the 350 electronica for a while cause I thought it looked the same but it didnt hit the mark

  8. If money was no object I'd realistically have a fleet of bikes. But one money-no-object bike? Easy. The Honda NSR 500 V-4 - the ultimate 2-stroke GP bike, in the Hawaiian paintjob Rossi had for Mugello. The ultimate bike, in the coolest colour scheme.

  9. A Desmo, I guess. About the most exclusive thing you could have (barring famous racing bikes).
     
  10. Wow...as many have said, I'd not stop in single figures if money was no object...but if I had the spare cash the first bike I'd buy would be a pristine original RD500LC in the iconic red/white/blue paint job. I rode my mate's when i was 17 and I thought it was incredible. Nowadays it would clearly feel lame, slow, with brakes and swingarm made out of balsa wood, but I'd love to have one.
     
  11. Yamasaki
     
  12. Morini 3 1/2 Sport, if only cos I've always wanted one.

  13. If you won a tenner on the lottery you could afford that.
     
  14. A new Multistrada for my other half (who currently rides something green and Japanese, loved the Multistrada engine when he test-rode one but couldn't justify spending £15k on a bike).
     
  15. Money no object, well i couldn't keep it to just one bike but for starters....

    Paul smarts Imola bike.
    A Genuine Tony Rutter F2
    My stolen 748R back !!!
    A Britten
    One of the original Luccinelli 851's
     
  16. I would have a bike handmade just for me, with all the dimensions to suit my size, and adjustable everything to suit my riding mood on the day.
     

  17. I rode the 500 once, was going to buy it, thought better of it in the end, no regrets, 3 1/2's do have that appeal tho ...
     
  18. As many have said, 1 bike not enough.

    I would get a Bimota db5 and a Bimota tesi 3d.
