View Full Version : Dream Bike?

Lets play a game.
Lets say that you win a competition to receive a free motorbike. Post a picture of the bike you would ask for.
Rules:
1. You cannot sell the bike once you have received it, so there is no point asking for a dodge tomahawk motorbike, selling it for half a million and then buying ten superbikes with the profit.
2. If you choose a bike that is not road legal, you are still unable to ride it on the roads. So if you ask for a MotoGP bike, you will only be allowed to ride it on a track.
2. Unless stated otherwise, we will assume that you are asking for the most recent model of a bike with all add-ons (2014 model, traction control, heated grips etc). You can specify any add-ons, such as an aftermarket exhaust or tailpieces etc.
4. This is not a 'showpiece' / garage bike. It has to be ridden at least as often as any other bikes you may own (so I hope its comfortable!)
Open to suggestions for any other rules.
I'm also curious to hear what your runner-up bikes would be.
My dream bike - the 2014 BMW S1000RR HP4 Carbon:

2nd place: Ducati 1199 Panigale R
3rd place: KTM 1290 Super Duke R
1 - Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic
Runners Up
2 - Triumph Bonneville
3 - Triumph America
May seem a little mundane but super fast exotica just doesn't interest me.

Not really my game but lovin' the look of the Tiger 800XC, tried an 800 Tiger out a couple of years ago and didn't really like it but might have to revisit
Either this

But probably this

The Beemer seems to do a better job of covering up the electrics than Triumph do.

I appreciate what it is but new bikes are starting to look like CGI from futuristic Hollywood blockbusters............http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/2014-Kawasaki-Z1000-03.jpg
The one above is the 2014 Z1000 they look like bloody Transformers or something :confused:
Bike companies these days seem to be looking for newer and more sophisticated ways of adding more PLASTIC !!!
Not really in any order and i'd use them as much as I use my XS.
