The one bike you can't get

[I8A4RE]

We all (well, most of us) have that one bike we want that we can't get. Whether it has to do with money, or it is rare, or what ever else the reason is.

Mine would be a yamaha R7.... What would be yours?

[Chippertheripper]

F800gs, totally rally'd out.

[Pittenger5]

Desmo

[mell0]

1976 Triumph Bonneville in crappy condition for me to restore. Everything I find is minty.

[CBR929RE]

RVF400 although I ​WILL have one some day.

[nhbubba]

'Busa


With a 4' gold plated swingarm.

[Falko]

Multi Gran Turismo

[dontpanic]

TZ750.

[OreoGaborio]

Don't think I could list em all... Internet's not big enough.

Bimota Tesi 3D would be one, though.
Chipper & Falko hit on a couple of my more "practical" ones. (Mulistrada Gran Tourismo or Pikes Peak, decked out R12 or F800GS)
And I bet a turbo liter bike.... maybe an RSV4 would be fun

RC45

NR750

Confederate Hellcat...new one

[OreoGaborio]

Confederate Hellcat...new one

Though I like the looks of the older one better

T.E. Lawrence's 1932 Brough Superior SS100.



The attached pic is a better photo of a 1925 SS100. Lawrence owned one of the first 1925 SS100s too, but he was riding his 1932 when he crashed.

[OreoGaborio]

Can it wheelie?

[oVTo]

No, but it was guaranteed to do 100mph in 1925. Hence the name SS100.

I'd like something stupid, like a land speed setup turbo 'Busa to head to Loring, Me. to do some high speed runs on.

everytime I do this list I forget about the Tesi. that might be at the top of the list for want but never have.

RC45

get an RC30 instead. doesn't look as good but rides better.

TZ750.

A friend has an old aamrr survivor in his collection. Was checking it out yesterday. Huge exp chambers.

[Imbeek]

Id like that bike Indian Larry called the "rat fink"

[backinthesaddle]

Car show yesterday in RI friend had his collection of bikes there TZ750, RC30, turbo honda CX, Ducs, moto morini, penton, yankee, matchless, triumphs, BSA, velocette, original CB750, CBX, Vincent. I was nervous just pushing the stuff back into the warehouse. I think it trumped the cars that were there.

[backinthesaddle]

A few pics from his other event. Not the Tesi but there are 2 in the collection.

I think you might have that backwards....I think the 30 is much better looking but have read from people who have, that the 45 is a way better bike, even though it was less successful than the 30, race win wise.

I didnt put the DB7 on this list because I will buy one o dem......one day.

[backinthesaddle]

I heard the Tesi calls for about 30 hours to adjust the valves, supposedly have to pull engine from frame. Guessing most don't put the miles on them that much anyway.

I guess both are subjective but I think the 45 looks better and 30 rides better. 45 certainly wasn't bad though.
