ok just for randomness sake,
if you could only have 1 bike for the rest of your life, no riding any others

a completely monogamous relationship Very Happy
what would it be???

don't worry about reliability, as you magically have a mechanic fix it every night, or gas costs because he takes care of that as well.
must be a standard bike, not a race bike,


post a pic of your future love of a lifetime Very Happy

Something comfortable but sporty, VFR or ST sprint etc, not sure I could handle the suspension of a rock hard sportsbike when I am old fella. Or, assuming I can still have a car for the boring stuff then a big naked like a Ducati streetfighter would be fun between now and forever...

On that basis a 250cc 2 stroke twin. Possibly an RS250 or a v twin TZR250.

All the best

VFR800 VTEC

my uncle has one and i was very impressed. hugely comfy for the long rides but the vtec kick is a load of fun and still plenty quick. ok not as flickable or as fast as my blade but plenty enough to enjoy Smile
