Wish bikes-What's on your list?

[NotSoFast]

So I was cruising ebay the other day(always dangerous) looking at all the toys, and I thought it would be interesting to see what bikes others lust after. We all know that the Sprint is just about the perfect blend of sport and touring, but there is alot of other rides out there.

Some of these bikes I've had in the past so they are on my list. Some are not on the list because I've had them previously. My problem is that I like just about anything on two wheels with a motor. But, these are what I want to have in my personal collection. I admit to having very eclectic tastes and I like the unusual, so here's my list and some of the reasons why in no particular order.

Honda GB500-Had one loved it. Very classy looking and fun to ride. Becoming very expensive.
Bonnie T100-Classic looks, modern mechanicals. What could be better?
Honda CB550-Beautiful bike had one. Still the classic UJM. Has to has the original pipes.
KTM 640 Adv-Big enough to take you anywhere, light enough not to kill you getting there
Suzuki GS550E 1978-My first brand new bike. Another classic UJM. Lots of hi-freq vibration.
Honda NSR80-Never officially imported. Fast,fun mini crotch rocket. Think YSR 50 on steroids
Fuji Rabbit Superflow scooter 1960-The Cadillac of scooter. Air suspension, electric start etc
Piaggio MP3-I road when of these when they first came out. Handles well, can lean 47 deg.
Honda 750 Interceptor 1983-Had one new. Have had 3. One of the first superbikes
Honda 800 Interceptor 2007-Anniversary paint. So I can have bookends.
Norton Commando Roadster-One of my all time favs. My wife still says I shouldn't have sold it
Suzuki RV 125-2 stroke balloon tired fun bike. Had a 90 and I still miss smoking the neighbors
Kettenkrad-I know technically it's not a bike, but come on,tank treads on a bike-fun
Beta Trials-Always wanted a trials bike, just for fun
Honda GYROS-Had two of these. 3 wheels. Back half stays flat, front leans.
Honda RC45-If I have to explain etc
Benelli Volcano-180 ccs in a minitrail size frame. I saw one as a kid-want
Sunbeam-Just always like the looks of these. Beautiful looking motor.
Honda ST90-Had 3 of these. A blast for around the campground or neighborhood.
Suzuki Waterbuffalo-Classic two stroke tourer
KTM 450EXC-For serious dirt work
Yamaha AT1 125 Enduro-My very first motorcycle
Ducati 848-Much more realistic for the average person. Lighter,easier to handle.
Yamaha RZ350 KR Edition 1974-Two stroke bullet.
Honda Dream 50 1994-Beautiful racer reproduction. Not officially imported.
Honda Mini Trail 50-Came out when I was a kid. Had to settle for a Taco mini bike.
Yamaha G7S-Had one with 90 mi on it. Pretty, racy and fun to ride.
Suzuki RG500 Gamma-Square 4 two stroke street legal racer
Aprilia V4-Upcoming superbike. Love that motor.

That's my list. What's yours?

Alright I will play.

Mid 80's Yamaha Seca 400. This was my first street bike and it is a ture to form cafe racer. I would love to do one up in a retro race theme.

2006 Victory Vegas.
2008 Triumph Speed Triple
2005 SV1000S - in Black
2004 Sprint ST - got have one in that beautiful rounded shape
2008 Ural and Side Car. For me and my middle son who won't ever have the capacity to ride for himself. Something he and I can go out on and give him the freedom of being out in the wind.

Calliway-I almost put the Ural Sidehack on my list. Two wheel drive of course. I think that would be a great way to enjoy the thrill of the outdoors and in talking to people that have owned them, they will pretty much go anywhere you have the courage to take try to take it.

Thanks for the post wannab. I'm hot buying anything right now. I'm in the process of starting a business, so just having one bike right now is all I can handle. At one time I had 19 bikes and it's as much fun as you can imagine, but it's also very time consuming, plus the space they all take up.

The silver/blue Ducati is very beautiful. A classic for all time. I have a friend with a MHR. He loves it, but says it's the most uncomfortable bike he has ever ridden.
