If you could have one more bike

[Mawsley]

Perfect number of bikes = n, where n=n+1

 

So, if you could have one more, or the reappearance of an old one, what would it be?

 

I still hanker for another old 70s-80s boxer or Guzz, but if I got to call it - an R90S, in sexy orange.

I had a Z1300 for a few years, I'd love another. 

Or the CBX I briefly had, that was a stonking machine. 

[husoi]

An electric bike that could do 250 miles on one charge and charge the battery in 15min while I stretch my legs.

 

[Fender1515]

I still hanker after another Norton Dominator, I had the 650 pre unit, the bike was amazing, I got intimate with every nut and bolt, I am not sure if all my fond memories are because of the bike, or the crack we had as a group of bikers. We would turn up at Portsmouth and catch the ferry to France, £20 in your pocket and a tent strapped on, for a long weekend, was a good result.

After the Domi, it all went JAP !!

A goldwing would be nice, but a bit of a one trick pony.

I keep looking at my GSXR1100 in the shed, i'd like to get that back on the road.

Excuse me for being nosey but how much work would be involved?

Cheers

Make a plan. Just sort it into lots of smaller jobs. It isn't quite so daunting that way.

 Try to get it on the road for next summer.   It would be a great attention getter at bike meets.

It's been off the road over a decade (Where did that go?) Was running, spun the back tyre up, put it in the shed, took the wheel out ready for a new tyre and never touched it since.

Perfect candidate for winter project I would have said.

If I could have one more bike/vechicle it would be one/what ever my wife could ride. .

If it was solely for me I’d probably go electric like a livewire or something like that…

[bonio]

Beginning to hanker after a mid-weight go-any-distance-anywhere bike like a Tenere perhaps or an F650GS. Trying to unhanker tho.

[husoi]

I would do it for you if I wasn't busy with loads of different things at the moment.

Just for the fun of doing it

[manxie49]

Definitely be my old RD350LC

[skyrider]

yes i had two of those but the one i would like back is my 1978 rd 250e

[Steve_M]

Nostalgic choice - Honda CX500 Eurosport. My 1st “big” bike and a great introduction to the world of motorbikes. 
 

I’d love to own a 1998 VFR800fi again, being a sportily comfortable do-most-things well bike.

My choice too unless I had Guzzi Le Man's Mk3.

When I say it's in a shed it is just that, it's dry and secure but no room to move. I get very jealous when I see your garage workshop set up. If I had that I could tinker away to my hearts content. I'll get there one day, it's in my retirement plan.

I've got a 500 and a 1200. I think I'd go for something like a 125 for pottering about on. There is a certain charm to small engines. I think I'd go for a VanVan.

Always loved the look of a VanVan, seems very Banana Splits.

*It was a TV show for children, you young bikers out there

[Fiddlesticks]

I changed my mind - I'd like a Rocket 3 GT.

This game is hard

The new Royal Enfield 650 classic looks interesting. I could imagine having one of those as a second bike.

Lovely looking bike, I really like how those lines sweep back and down.
