If santa could bring you 1 bike, what would it be?

If santa were to bring you one bike and only one bike, out of every bike ever made, (rare or not) What would you ask him for?

 

BMW K1200 GT. Fast, comfy, reliable. It's a Beemer.

 

and a screamer! nice...

 

Turbine bike, baby! http://www.marineturbine.com/motorsports.asp

It's been clocked at 227 mph, but nobody really knows how fast it goes. With a turbine, the faster it goes, the faster it can go. 8O

 

i think I would would want an xjr 1300. Yep, I'm certain I would.

 

yeah, those are cool. Jay Leno has one. He says that when the turbines are completly pressurized, thrust is extremely brutal and lag is almost undetectable.That bike should have winglets on each side to become airborne.

 

A Velocette Venom in full clubmans trim.

Faighaigh.

 

Ducati Paso 750, Always liked the look/

 

Don't ask me why, but a Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 would have me drooling.

 

A BMW R 1200RT.

 

Some might think I'm crazy - but I'd go for a Suzuki V-Strom.
Ugly, but amazingly comfortable and capable.

 

A brand new Yamaha Roadstar Warrior in all black (preferably flat black). Oh, and paid off, so I can actually keep it.

Or this sweet BSA:

 

I'm not that picky. Almost anything over 750 cc's will do.

 

I'm with robista361, XJR 1300, Paid in full!

 

It's a good thing I'm skint, because I'd have one hell of a time picking just one, if I had the dough.

My head says Hayabusa, since anything less would keep me wondering what a 200mph bike is like to own and ride, (had a brief test ride in Edmonton back in 2001, loved it). Plus, it's a Suzuki, which are my first love in bikes. I know, the ZX 14 has eclipsed it, but Kawasaki forgot how to make a good looking sportbike several years ago with the death of the ZX7R. Plus, it needs a few years to achieve the same cult-bike status as the Suzuki. By that time, of course, there will be a new Hayabusa and we will have returned to our regularly scheduled broadcast... Shame Yamaha never got in on the game.

However..... I have a soft spot for the naked bikes, with the ZRX 1200 at the top of the list, well, maybe tied with the XJR 1300 SP. Wouldn't kick one of those GSX1400 thingies out of bed for eatin' biscuits either. That new Bandit 1250 liquid cooled bike looks like a winner, bit is a bit bland. Overall, I think I prefer the first gen Bandit, really.

I guess, if I was honest, I'd say I would like an MV Agusta F4 CC (Claudio Castiglioni).




Sex on wheels. 200hp. Titanium exhaust. I could put up with a lot of Italian "character" to own one of these.

Read All About It.

 

I'd want my old Yamaha DT100 (early 70s back). Had a lot of good times on that bike.

Like the time I took this girl for a ride, and switched the fuel valve off. But turned it off way too soon and ran out of gas in the middle of a huge fallow field. Had to push the bike nearly a mile to the woods before we stopped to rest and.............

And Mrs. MiCarl wonders why I come home from rides on the XJ a bit frisky :twisted:

 

I would like a Yamaha XJR1300 from Santa. If only if it was made in the US...

 

I'd like to have this imaginary bike:

2007 XJ-900LX SuperMaxim
Air and Oil cooled. DOHC4. Shaft drive. 6-Speed. Fuel injected with switchable Street, Cruise and Performance Ignition and Mixture presets. High-output alternator for accessories. Cases. Padded sissy. 3-Point Guards. Air-horns. Dual front discs. Rear disc brake with rear-wheel dampers. Rear shocks with threaded pre-load and adjustable damping. Adjustable pre-load front forks. Stainless exhaust.

I'd consider goin' down to the cross-roads and makin' the deal ... if you know what I'm saying!

 

That one is allso on my list. The jap version that is.
If the XJR was made in the US, it would be a big, noisy, fuelconsuming mammoth of a tractor-looking sofa-bike with poor handling and low performance. :wink:

Gee. That sounds like a certain American-made motorcycle...can't quite think of the name, though. It's on the tip of my tongue....Farley? Barley? Something like that? I dunno. :wink:
