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

I changed my mind. I want that bike rickomatic made up.

 

Norton Commando 850. Don't need any new fandangled widgets on an overly powerful under-performing Mattel bike. :wink:

 

one boss hoss please.... or the new V-max....

 

I know having one to choose is diffcult, but at least it gets you pondering and really thinking about what niche or platform you would choose. Their are sooo many models to choose from and different styles. I had to start by picking my favorite style, then engine configuration, and size. I love "the old school" look, modern technology and musculrity of the XJR1300 and have been infactuated with that bike since it came out in europe a few years back.I'd seriously give my left nut for one! Ive got to agree with macMcmac regarding those new f4s its one sexy roller! and that bsa beardking has posted up is awesome too! Ohh,I hope santa can bring me my XJR! Ill even be good and share it with Max x..

 

I like Rick's made up bike..... but now really.
I'd like to have my 1st bike I ever owned again, 1953 Harley 125cc
Bet she'd be worth a pretty penny today and the trip down memory lane would be great!

 

Heart says Norvin, head says GT750 (Suzuki) taken out to TR750 spec

 

Based on looks... I'd have to go with a Buell XB12S - http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes/wallpa ... eauty5.jpg

I LOVE the way this bike looks

 

100th aniv. lowrider,with a 1550 kit!bout had a brand new one...got laid off rite after i qualified for the credit! now i cant find one! pizzizmeoff.

 

.....and so, I'll throw down the gauntlet! I double-dog...no; triple dog dare you to create one. If anyone on this forum can do it, that would be you!
C'mon......you're better than those Orange County guys.....right?

 

zxr 250

mmmh 18000 rpms of blood rushing, tantalizingly blissful screaming little 4 banger power.


It looks like a true sports bike should too
with just 250ccs, you can really open up the throttle without getting into trouble as fast as those new 600/1000 cc monsters. Plus, you probably get more fun out of this flickable little demon

 

Right now, it would be very tough for me to start another project. I spent years getting the 900 just the way I wanted it. The Max moved-in and there went another two years of evenings and weekends doing another rebuild and restore job.

I imagine I could stuff a 900 engine into the frame of a 750 Bike without needing a shoe-horn. But there's two problems needing to be overcome.

1. I'd want the 900 Airbox.
2. I'd want the fuel tank modified to let the 900 engine fit with some degree of Non-hacked-up customization.

I've been dreaming about it.
I have the stuff.
The local Tech High School is offering a welding class.

I'll put it on the drawing board and write-up a few posts on my findings. Maybe some outside input will build a fire under me.

 

I'd say capn kirk just lit a pretty good fire! Common rickO...YOU CAN DO IT !!!

 

I'd rather stick a Maxim-X engine in there and big-bore it. Likely easier to find than a 900 engine, although there is one on Ebay at the moment in Minnesota.

 

No contest......Vincent Black Shadow!!!!!!!

 

Nobby, now that was a proper motorbike.
Beats all the Japanese lawnmowers hands down.

Oh Yes!!!

 

Like many others the choice of one bike of all is tough. I like the sounds of the K1200 GT, and also lean towards a roadliner or stratoliner but I Think that IF i could choose any bike I would look very hard at a 2007 HARLEY night rod special.

 

Here's what I got:

left to right: '02 BMW RT, '04 BMW K1200RS, '92 Ducati 907IE, '85 XJ700, '82 XJ550 (the Maxim's were bought for my SO)

What do I want from Santa? Easy, a MV Augusta F4 so I can, you know, get to 7-11 and back fast.

 

A Britten...

The guy was amazing. In the 90's he hand built every part of his motorcycle and ran it as a privateer at Daytonna against the big dogs. It's a purpose built race bike - completely useless to me... however, the story, the man, and the pure capability of the bike just move me.

If I could have one bike to put on a pedestal... that would be it.

 

man that bsa is sweeeeeeeeeetness!

 

A FJR1300 so my wife and could ride in fast comfort.
