If you were "rich" ...Streety + ?

OK...so you've got a Streety now....
If you were "rich"...what would keep it company??

My vote goes for

KTM Superduke (to fit the needs of my MX antics that I can't seem to get rid of but want to do on the street)

Buell XB12s (because it's "in your face" torque and quick as hell with a "not the norm" attitude)

Confederate Hellcat (because it is AWESOME looking and REEKS of sex apeal!)

Right now, a 955 Tiger and a Bonneville keep mine company, but I'm hoping my former Rocket III will rejoin the family soon...the two extremes of Triumph in the same garage, like Jamie's arrangement.

well, rich is comparative. I could afford a couple of bikes including the ST so my money would be spent on far more rarified older bikes.

I might get one of the new Monster 695s to sit alongside ST this year.

But my list would include:

Suzuki Hayabusa (first model withour restriction)
Kawasaki 900 the first z1......in green or brown
Kawasaki mach 111 500 and the later 750
Honda CBX 1000
Honda GL1000
Ducati 916
Honda NR750
Honda RC30
MV Agusta 750 sport america
Moto Morini 3 1/2
BMW R75/6
Laverda Jota
Suzuki GT750 or GT380
Vincent Black Lightning
Yamaha FS1E
Aprilla RS250 or the Honda NS250R

Yes Diego, and I only wish that made me "rich", per the provocative thread title .

I am in love with these two Triumph kritters.

The Rocket dates back to Oct. '04. It has been midly customized (Mad Dog pipes, Wilbers rear suspenders and fork springs, CF front guard, fork gaiters and bearclaw, a Corbin saddle, various Rivco bolt-on goodies, etc. AND a Jaguar Racing Green finish with Boneville-like silver scallops on the tank)

The Streety happens to be 3 years younger. Pretty much standard (apart from Triumph's seat cowl, belly pan, CF rear hugger and mini windshield), except for the Daytona rear shock and the R&G tail tidy.

And even if I were rich, I'd be at a loss to find a third bike that would turn me on.

Jamie

I`m not rich but I`m comfortably off and have spent a lot of money that probably should have been invested in our future, on my 'dream garage' which as you can see by the pics, is an 07 Black 1050 Speed Triple, an 05 Gold 1050 Speed Triple, an 06 Daytona 675 and an 04 Thunderbird 900. My wife rides as well, so technically the Gold 1050 and the Daytona 675 are her bikes but I get to play on them when I want!

I have trouble keeping my two bikes busy as it is. I suppose if push came to shove a new Ducati Sport 1000S would be fun to have. In order to pull off the Ducati I'd have to get a Vespa GTS 250 to placate the wife. Such is life.

Well, at the moment, I'm sort of thinking about either a Bonnie, or a Guzzi V7 Classic, to keep my Striple company.

Not being rich, this will be subject to selling off my Honda Z50 and my Yammie RZ250. (Garage space and wife are also factors here.)

I reckon that a nice traditional style bike would compliment the Striple quite nicely.
