    If only they would build it...

    I'm a Honda/Acura guy by day, so that's how I found this

    the CB1100F, looks like the typical UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) but with a couple of styling touches to bring it up to date. The rectangular tank looks rather sharp as well as the clean industrial detail bits

    Sorry it's not a Yammie but wow.

    If I had to replace my Seca, I think I'd do it with a Yamaha FZ6. I think of it as the younger cousin of the Seca - similar riding position, 100# lighter. If only it was a shafty. The only drawback (I haven't ridden one myself) is a common complaint that the engine is buzzy and a bit weak in the low end.

    I'd like to own a 2007 FJR1300 Black Cherry. SWEET!

    I'd like to ride the new VMax, but not buy one. The 2009 is supposedly crazy powerful, but it is too pricey for me. I'll have to stick to my '98.

    I think I would love to get the brand new Kawasaki Z1000, It may not be a Yamaha, but i just love that street fighter look and the fact that it has torque.

    OK one more try... For those not wanting to back up in the thread... This is a concept CB1100F from the Tokyo Auto Show. Sorry it's not a Yamaha but I'm a Honda guy by day and I can't just ignore something like this when it comes along.

    Right there with you, and I think it's OK because Yamaha doesn't have an equivalent. Start saving your pennies, though, because Honda made it official - it'll be in US showrooms in '09.

    I think I'd try a Ural with a sidecar, unless I could afford a genuine WW2 motorcycle with sidecar (with a machine gun mounted for the rider in the side car). :lol:

    Years ago, I owned a Hodaka that very occasionally took off backwards when the clutch lever was released. That was always good for a brisk change of pace. It livened up an off-road ride for all the particpants (and some of the spectators, too)! If I could find one of those "brand new" I'd get one of them.

    I bought mine:

    I just want reliable simplicity. No plumbing, no anti-freeze. The only think I miss on my Warrior is the shaft-drive.

    Yamaha's have always been reliable. Harley's have always been simple. Now I have both.

    My very next bike will be choosing an FZ1 or VFR. Maybe even the FZ6R.

    [​IMG]

    If I some how strike it rich or later on down the road I'll be looking at the FJR1300, Connie 14, or a Moto Guzzi. Probably a Norge or a Breva. I also like the BWM K1200GT and the F800ST.

    Since Kawasaki finally updated their Concours design, I think it would be a top contender.

    A friend bought one of these, it was like $3500 brand new with sidecar.
    Talk about dated technology. :lol:
    Ultra simple to work on though.
    The electric start is crap, it comes off a tractor.
    No need to worry about parts just weld it up or go to tractor supply.
    This guy has stripped the electric and cobbed it up to a small 12v battery in the trunk of the side car.
    All the Wheels/tires are the same size, so the spare fits anywhere on the bike.
    The wheels have one large hand tightened nut so no tools are needed for a tire change
    He works construction and loads all his tools into the sidecar, rides 10 months a year. :D

    Gotta say, one of my friends has a 2 year old Fat Bob in denim black with reinhart exhaust and no chrome. Darn fine looking bike. I would actually consider riding that Harley.

    New? A Gear-Up Ural. One with a special paint edition. If I won the lottery, I'd finish my XS 650 SG with all the go-fast stuff and find a rear 18" cast wheel that fits. A XS 750/850 tank made to fit for that cafe look. Painted Arrest Me Red! Add a new H-D Dayna Super Glide. Nahhhhhh '85 Softtail frame modified to take a 74 c.i. Knuckhead engine and the famous 4sp tranny. Kick starter a must. 5 gal Fatbob tank. And a 650 Seca. Thats all......for now!

    After this deployment i plan on buying a used Yamaha FZ8 or if possible a new one. I like the naked bike look especially the streetfighter style it has to it, I think thats why I vision my bike as a bobber because in my mind a streetfighter is a bobber sportbike.

    I'm very interested in the Suzuki Boulevard M50 right now. I think that might be my preferred styling (legs out front a little, little bit of lean back).

    -No Spokes
    -No Chain drive
    -No Carbs
    -Looks KEWL!

    Those things are a MUST on a new bike for me.
