    Definitely would go with a Boss Hoss with the V8 engine. Might be difficult to get used to the transmission though. Maybe a Harley Police issue cruiser :)
    If were talking money no object older bikes, I'd like the old Harley WLA or a classic Indian(though the new one's aren't too shabby looking either)
    Or maybe just he funds/equipment to build my own.

    Hmmmmm
    I like something in the commuter range...
    Buell Blast, Suzuki GS 500E, SV 650 or VStrom 650, Kawi Versys or maybe a BMW GS 650 or 800

    Ditto the Thruxton, as for the huffy. It would definitley help my spare tires!

    When I had my BMW, the dealer, which also sold Triumphs, gave out Bonnies as service loaners. Over the course of three years I had loaned a Bonnie T100, a Thruxton and a Scrambler. The Thruxton was my favorite. When I road it I could not see any of the bike below me and with the forward lean seating position it felt like I was flying. Very cool, lightweight and nimble bike. Makes me want to get cafe bars and rear sets for my Seca 550!

    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.
