Which would you keep

There is a thread going on now-- how many bikes do you own?-- It seems there are quite a few riders on this forum that have 2 or more bikes and it got me to wondering...if something came up for whatever reason and you could only keep one bike and no more ---which would you chose? Would it be an easy choice or something you would sweat over?

If I had to let one go it would be the Yamaha. She doesn't too much attention anymore but I have no plans to let her go.

I would be a very difficult choice as I enjoy each bike for very different reasons.

1996 Thunderbird
1994 Honda VFR

Man that's tough. I could easily ditch the Honda and the Vespa since I'm building those up for the wife.

But choosing among the Triumphs and the Norton. Man...

The Bonnie was my first Brit classic.
The Daytona is smaller and just a blast to ride.
And the Norton is ballsy and unique.

Uggh. I'd probably keep the Bonnie. If it were my only bike, it's the most practical choice of the three.

No wait...I'd keep the Daytona. I'd always wanted a 500 Trump and now i have it. I can't let it go.

Wait...no...I'd keep the Norton.

ARRGH!

I'd keep my CBR, not as fun but more versatile.
