If riding for fun, the motorcycle must be interesting enough for me to enjoy riding it, while still being reasonable (spare parts prices and availability). It also must be capable of at least 60 mph, otherwise I find it dangerous to be ridden outside of the city limits.
With cars it's the same thing for me. I don't really need a motorised vehicle.
EDIT: When I say I don't need a motorised vehicle, I meant it in a way, that I commute by the public transport, which costs me next to nothing and takes about the same time driving a car (riding a motorcycle) would + there is a tram going in my direction every 10 minutes.
What I find interesting is mostly vintage/old machines, or just being otherwise unusual. If I ever happen to be in a need of a commuter, I'll probably opt for something ubiquitous, only to be reasonable. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

If it's going to need fettling every 5 minutes, wants a service every couple of weeks and/or is generally difficult to work on, I'm out.
If the riding position leaves me aching after anything less than an hour, no thanks.
I don't like major vibes, or handling that makes me nervous, or causes me to concentrate so hard, it tires me.

Old Thread Alert!
