mine used to be the Ducati 848 but I doubt my back can handle the posture.

So it's the street fighter that I am lusting after even though I can't afford it (probably ever)   :'(
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

Right now... I'd love to have a MH900e and a Sedici.  But in terms of bikes that are a bit more realistic in price, I'd love to own a sportbike or a dual sport on top of what I have now.  Either a duc SBK, RSV4, or RC8R or a MTS1200 or GS.

+1 (on the bike and the posture difficulties).

So instead I'm plotting a black Moto Guzzi Griso....   [evil]

 [thumbsdown] I sold my Griso and my Jota in order to fund my dream bike, but I would still have had to re-mortgage my house as well! So I bought a Monster 1100 Evo instead. The dream bike will forever remain a dream. A 750 MV Sport has always been unattainable (sigh).

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Constantly scanning the internet for one to pop up.
