What Bikes Do You Wish You’d Owned?

  1. I've always wanted one of the original Daytona 675R's (with the underseat exhaust), not sure why, think they look stunning. Who knows, one day I may buy one, but trying to find one in the right spec isn't easy...

  2. They had one of those outside OMG’s place earlier today Red, they’re tiny.
     
  3. Yeah they are a small, I've had a few Daytona's in my time, loved them all, but I missed out on one of these

  4. Godin egli-vincent, Hyde harrier trident, rc30, moto-martin 1000 (6-cyl), moto-guzzi mgs-01, desmosedici d16rr, mv Agusta f4 1000 rc - to name but a few of the bikes I wish I'd bought when I had the opportunity. And then there's the unreachable like MV-Agusta 750s America - sigh

  6. I saw an Egli-Vincent project today when out buying bits for my 'other bike' build. Doubt I'll see another... He also had a couple of WIP 851s and an 888. Drool.....

  12. Always wanted an MV. When the superveloce came out loved the idea of it, came close to getting one without actually seeing it - but when I saw it just didnt have the wow I expected so glad I didnt. But, while there they had a F3 800 RC which is still on my one day list as a track toy
     
  13. I like both but prefer the SV, my RR RC is a lovely bike to behold and ride.
     
  14. At a bit of a loss as to why they never developed it as a road bike (apart from money at the time I suppose).

    I imagine they would have sold quite a few if they had!

  15. Spoil sport. :worried::worried:
     
  16. I vaguely remember a similar road going Guzzi... Am I imagining it? :thinkingface:
     
  17. I think the only similar looking bike from Moto Guzzi at that time was the Griso, and only similar looking in the loosest way.

    Ghezzi-Brain made some similar great looking bikes I think, but not sure how many were made, but don't think it was volume production...and equally unobtainable!
