    I would love an 81 XS 850 like I used to have. If forces to a new bike Yamaha Venture line has some nice models.

    I'd be happy with an XJ700 that runs for more than a mile without breaking down and developing one problem after another.

    I would be VERY happy with one of these:

    This is an '05, before they changed to the clunky 4-1 exhaust they have now.

    That 05 is beautiful Fitz. Love the color. I guess I never noticed the switch to 4-1.

    Sorry, I can't be restricted to one new bike. I'd like:

    A newer VMAX or
    A Yamaha Midnight Warrior or
    A KTM 990 Super Duke "R".

    BigFitz,

    I could not agree more. IIRC it is only about $3k to get one shipped from 'over there' (plus the bike's cost!). I bet it would be cheaper if we shipped a few of them. The month long wait would be killer though.

    Might be a bit of work to get all the logistics working.

    In fact, I'll tell you what: If we can get enough buyers I'll set everything up; all you have to do is buy me a bike. Sound good?

    I think it would have to be a 1985 V-Max. I used to stop & look at that bike every week when I was like 15/16.

    I could not afford it so I got an 82 XJ750 Maxim. I still miss that bike.

    Probably gotta wait til next year for that one.

    Hey Santa, I hope you noticed that I don't even want a brand new one.

    An '07 will do just fine.
