tis the season for browsing. Whats your dream second bike?

I realize there are quite a few of you multiple bike owning pantloads (this is all jealousy of course) on here. But what would be your non honda or vfr bike that you would just have to have if you could? I have always loved the zx750, I don't know if that comes from watching Eric Bostrom annoy the shit out of Mat Maladin on his gsxr1000 or what but always loved em.

 

The new Honda Africa Twin would be my second bike if I had the money.

Currently, my second bike is a 1985 Honda VF1000F

 

too fast not a old mans bike

 

A mid 70's vintage Norton 850 Commando would be nice. Maybe an early 70's Triumph Bonnie. Those sounded so nice. My brother had two Commandos. A 750, which he raked and extended the forks and just fucking butchered the thing. Then he bought a brand new 850 first year they were out. One of his friends had a Bonnie. Come to think of it, that Bonnie had to be late 60's because I lived in Brandon at the time. Moved away from there in '70.





Then, if I had the money and could convince my wife to join me on the bike, I would certainly get myself one of these:

 

My wife's uncle has an amazing Norton Commando. I'll try to remember to snap photos the next time I'm by there ... or I could just take you by there when you're in town to see in person with your own two eyes.

 

Back in the very 70"s I had an old Norton Atlas which I bought for $600, then we moved to Toronto and my wife surprised me with a new 73 Norton Commando, beautiful bike. I weighed about 225 then (still do) and about every third time I went to kick starter it, the damn thing would literally throw me off. Then the top frame tube (about 2" in diameter) ran under the front of the seat for about 5-6". That was OK till my wife got on the back and I moved up, totally unbearable. Later that month we traded it back in for a Kawasaki Z1 900.

 

Ducati Monster S2R 1000. One of last full trellis frames, air-cooled. Must have red frame.

 

In no particular order; !st Gen VMax, Kawasaki ZRX1200 (green), Moto Guzzi Griso 1200, Moto Guzzi MGX 21, CBX...thats about all that comes to mind at this time.

 

KTM Superduke or pretty much any MV Agusta.

 

Honda 1100XX Super Blackbird OR 2000 TL1000R in black/gold

 

You have very affordable dream bikes...

 

Simple tastes, I guess

 

Aprillia RSV4 Factory.

 

1990-1994 NC30
MC28 NSR250 SP
16 ZX6R KRT Edition
16 Ducati 939 Hypermotard SP

 

That's a tough one right now after I had my hands on a Super duke 1290, that beast is just something else. I'm going Oh baby. But had it in mind since I has allowed a spin on one down at Laguna that the Ape RSV4 Tuono would be the one, now that's one sweet ride. .But then there's this fun little one called a RD350 that's been yanking on my thoughts.

 

If I could just go out and buy bikes 13, 14, and 15;

Vfr750r
Rvf750R
Any CB1100R

 

You sure my RD is too far to pick up lol

The Tuono is another bike I'd like to have. I have been looking at the Super Duke- Adventure R, and BMW 1200GS.

 

RC30 please.....or.....
