headlight looks somewhat more modern than a honda's, the bracket looks cool too. having said that, it won't go with a current model as it is too futuristic (IMO). the current model - blinged out to the max or not - looks simpler, older, more classy. and that's why i like it. i for one don't want to have a "back to the future" bike. guess i won't be buying a new series monster

You know when I was winning the Oz Lotto last week my list was about that long.
Wife couldn't understand why I'd need 7-8 bikes.

Oz Lotto list was

848 or 1098
Speed Triple
Deus cafe racer
Tourer maybe BMW
KTM traily
KTM Super Duke II
MV Augusta of course.

But really I'd be happy if I got an 848 next.


My Oz Lotto list was:

Ferrari 430 Scuderia
Aprilia RSV-R
Ducati 1098r
Shelby AC Cobra
MV Agusta F4
Old school Dodge Charger or Plymouth 'Cuda
Ducati 750 Supersport (that silver and blue 77 (I think) model))
HK GTS 327 Monaro
Assortment of KTM dirt bikes and one Super Duke.

And maybe I would buy a brothel, gotta spend money to make money. [cheeky]

The list could go on and on....I'm sure I could add to it later. co::

there's a girl who is selling her 748, asking 15K for it, don't know the details but can find out if you - or any one else - is interested

Yeah, see, thats the problem. I can get a 5 or 6 year old Jap 600 Supersport for ~$5k, which is a small enough amount of money that I'd personally be prepared to risk throwing it all away in a big crash. $15k, while a very fair price for a 748, is somewhat out of my league for "throwaway money"...

I like your list Super.
Do still like my cars but right now all i'd like to buy is bikes.
I think the only car I'd indulge is a new BMW M3 or Audi RS4.

Aside from that I'd be bikes, bikes, bikes.

I guess you are right, but if I won that much money, there'd be a HUGE garage to put everything in and the HUGE garage would be sitting on at least 50 acres. Hoists, pits, tools, spray booth etc etc.

Agree with the Audi RS4, a beautiful machine.  [coffee]
