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:

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

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 !!!

1. Yamaha MT-01 (I've had one for 7 years and still nothing out there to replace it)
2. Suzuki 1100 Katana
3. Vincent (any of the 1000 v-twins). Probably the best looking v-twin engine ever produced (He says in a Carlsberg type way)
Plus loads of others
