Whats Your Dream machine?

Hey Guys and Gals
I'm loving the new 09 Speed triple,i have never rode a bike that shifts as sweet as this one does i'm still under the 500 break-In so i'm still learning about My new love :~)

BUT! i'm always reading about other bikes and this got me to wondering What would others say was there "Dream Bike"?

This is not limited to just high priced bikes,but bikes that are no longer produced-made or just plain hard to come by :~)

It doesn't have to be a Naked bike either,But i myself love the nakeds!

Current bikes 07 FZ1-N and My new Love the 09 S3 ,Life can't get much better than naked Bikes IMHO :~)

I just thought it would be fun to see what others are Dreaming about far as Bikes Go,this is also a way to learn about other bikes we are not aware of cause I really love Bikes and can't get enough :~) so post Up Dudes and Dude'ets :~) is that a word LOL

I'll start.... I would love to saddle this Bad Boy one time to see what it has to offer :~)

1) Roulette green 2007 speed triple (got).

I'm not sure any other bike will make me laugh as much. I've tried everything from bonnevilles (hated it) to Hyabusas (epic speed but slightly too easy).

I might fit better suspension in time, and race pipes.

I've also got a 1985 kawasaki GPZ600R and a 1986 BMW K100Rt to remind me how lucky I am.

Got green '07 Speedy... That's half of the dream.
White with red stripe '07 Ducati S4rs... I have my eye on leftover with 0 miles still waiting for me in the dealership nearby. Testastretta engine, Ohlins all around, brakes so good that scary and beautiful Italian lines... Probably next month.
I have to get it before all Ducatis will turn ugly like new 696 and 1100.

I would love to have a KTM RC8... that is a beautiful machine.

Was talking w/ a friend today after seeing a Superduke on our ride. He asked if I would buy a Ducati Desmo if I had the money... I told him that if I had 75K to piss away on a bike, I'd buy an RC8 and keep 55K to play with!

epic speed but slightly too easy! That i can relate to :~) thats One thing I learned from owning my 06 GSXR 1000 , That having a bike that would run 196mph was totally useless on the public Roads If you plan to keep your Licence! This is why i love my FZ1-N so much cause it's way comfy and has NOTE: "Usable Power" having a bike like the GSXR with 175 Crank Hp that can run right at and over 200MPH with a few mods is a total waste Unless you do Track dayz

Now i look for a Bike that can make 70+torque at a Lower RPM,Now that You can Play with at Low speeds :~) in the right Place of course,Torque Rules!!!

The best part about motorcycles is they don't have to be dreams ussually. Even on a pretty small income like mine I can afford a totally mental machine. I'd like to have an RC8 and a K1200r as well as the s3 one day though.
