Firstly...THANK YOU to EVERYONE that has taken the time to respond to my posts (recent & past) .... You lot AND BCF are a source beyond words..

NOW ... 2 Questions.. If you had

a).. a budget of $20,000 (Aus) ... WHAT would you end up riding, (store brought OR built for you) ??

b) .. an UNLIMITED budget .. (Like, someone gave you Bill Gate's credit card details) ..

Only ONE proviso my friends ... It MUST be able to be made/built/brought AND be street legal ... ie: F111 or JumpJet motors are OUT Laughing

Go for it...

Maybe predictably, I'd probably get one of these:

Or, as it's Australia and there's a lot of unsurfaced roads, how about one of these:

https://www.ktm.co.uk/fileadmin/swf/productspecials/uploads/990-Adv_01.jpg

I want one of those... They're £8995 with hard luggage from my local dealer.

I'd build me a bike just like my Buell, but with liquid cooling.

Or I'd buy a Honda RS250 racebike and make it road legal...

1. early fireblade - 16 inch front wheel, foxeye headlights, urban tiger graphics, drilled front fairing - wanted one since the first time I saw one.

2. (same as flat erics choice) Rossi's 2007 800cc M1 MotoGP bike - modded for road legality - including the pit crew to go with it of course (I'd probably chuck it up the road within a couple of minutes of climbing aboard but it would be a fun couple of minutes Very Happy ).
