BMW R1200GS Adventure first and foremost, i would never own a car again with this and get special racks or a trailer for my surfboard, snowboard and whatever else!
Hypermotard

Haha, I think it would be cool to rig the 1200gs with a trailer, that way I can haul a track bike with the BMW and not need a car :)  Imagine the looks!

What excellent taste you have, my complements.  Too bad that Bonnie ain't for sale.  But I can tell you where you can go and to pick it up.  Ride
to Homer Alaska and then continue driving southwest for another 15 miles.  Ya can't miss it [evil]

I'll be calling you when I make my way up to the great state of Alaska!  Its on my short list once I finish school.

I want this limited edition Hayabusa Ducati: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycles___HAYABUSA-WITH-A-360-CONVERSION-KIT-SEXY_W0QQitemZ110279295726QQddnZMotorcyclesQQddiZ2283QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110279295726&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&timeout=1218669156494

my short list of bikes, but I can't afford any of them at the moment:

i have a monster, but some day I'll get a M1000s in the senna paint scheme, I prefer the DSS
bmw r100CS in black with some nice krausers
something for sport touring, I love the multi minus the looks, but I want to ride across country soon. SO something that would work for that better than my monster in terms of comfort and storage. perhaps a triumph sprint st or a used st3 or 4

As much as I love the L-twin, I demoed a kawasaki concours 14 a few weeks ago and it's been on my sport tourer short list ever since.

Great brakes, nice seat and a gobs of power on tap.

Wildly varying degrees of reasonability and practicality, but these are the ones that seem to hang around on the list longer than a fleeting "I want that!"

- 1999-ish through 2001 Monster 750 or 900, with a lean toward the 900.

- Similar era 748.

- Early 90s BMW Paris-Dakar:


- 1976-78 Suzuki GS400 (or maybe a GS550/GS750):

had a lot of thoughts lately:
07/08 600RR or 08 GSX-R600 (track/race)
08 Ninja 250R or a 01-03 F4i (maybe for a 2nd track bike?)
DRZ400SM for the street, though I'd rather have a Yamaha street 'tard a bit faster than the 250 they've got now.  Obviously I'd rather have a hypermotard but I doubt I'll have that much $$$$ for a while

actually with my current budget, none of those are really bikes I can "afford"
does Wal-Mart still sell bicycles under $100?  I might could afford one of those after saving up for a couple months!
