    top of the head boring list for me, but at the moment:
    Thumper: Ducati Streetfighter
    Cruiser (I read tourer): Triumph Tiger
    Classic: Vincent Black Shadow (this is a theoretical list right)
    Sports: I'll stick with the SV1000, but could swap for an 848
    Superbike: Ducati 1198R (pips the KTM RC8 which though beautiful isn't a Ducati)

    I bought one of my dream bikes a couple of months ago , a ZZR1400. I swore when it came out I'd never own it due to abject fear of its power. I bit the bullet and bought it and haven't regretted it since.

    Here's my other top four.

    1. Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter 1500
    2. Suzuki GSXR1100 (86)
    3. Suzuki VZ1400 Intruder
    4. Suzuki GSX1000S Katana

    6.bmw r1200gs
    7.kawaski ER6n
    8.harley davidson V-Rod

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,052 ✭✭✭Pique


    Thumper: Ducati Streetfighter or Aprilia Shiver (but I thought thumpers were singles?:confused:)
    Cruiser BMW R1200GS
    Classic: Not too up on me oldies, but probably an old Norton or maybe an Indian.
    Sports: Street Triple R
    Superbike: Ducati 916 Senna


    As I'm not a greedy git *cough*tbaymusicman*cough* :) I'll only ask that you drop any ONE of those beauties to my house....<note to self> Do Lotto tomorrow </note to self>

    Edit: Hang on, does an RC45 count as a classic in this list ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Dorsanty


    I suppose I'd have to go with,

    Ducati 1198
    R1
    zx6r
    My Street Triple R ;)

    A part of me knows I could never live with a supersport bike though. I'm just too tall. But it could be a second bike for me, so the dream lives on
