What is your dream bike?

Postiez · April 16th, 2010, 01:23 PM

I know for a lot of users here their 250 is their endgame but for myself and I assume a lot of others the 250 is a stepping stone to help you learn to be a better rider for when the time comes when you can get that bike that is currently too much for you to handle.

So, what is your endgame bike?

Mine is a white Ducati 848, so pretty. So so pretty.

P.S. I hope this thread wasn't already recently done ><

Here is a similar thread done a while back. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18204

If I go the supersport route I want either a 2007 Yamaha R1 in red and black or 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R in special edition green.

I have also been looking at a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Mat Mladin edition but those are hard to find.

2WheelGuy · April 16th, 2010, 01:51 PM

My dream bike changes often but right now it would be this one. A Roland Sands Design Aprilia 450 twin conversion.

Racer x · April 16th, 2010, 02:25 PM

My dream bike
I want to pick up custom 2004 RC51 in Belfast Ireland and ride it around for a month or two.Then ferry over to the Isle of man for Practice week then MAD Sunday and the TT.( not to race the TT just to party)

It would be set up by the best Irish Road race mechanic.And I would buy the beer for the crew all month.

O sorry Lost in dream land.

That is why I buy lottery tickets.

bob706 · April 16th, 2010, 02:53 PM

My dream bike would be either a Triumph Sprint St, Kawi C14 or an Aprilia Futura. All three of those bikes make me drool. I could pick up a 02 Futura but the advice I get from friends is to stay away because parts and service would be hard to come by.

250rStar · April 16th, 2010, 03:12 PM

common you guys its all about the 2006 ZX6RR!! ahhh sexy mutha F****

BlueRaven · April 16th, 2010, 03:16 PM

Ducati 848

backinthesaddleagain · April 16th, 2010, 03:17 PM

Changes often but right now Duc 1198S Corse. The one with the aluminum tank. One at my local shop and its hot.

I drool over that one as well, but I think that much power would tempt me too much on the road. The 848 is more than enough for me xD.

CC Cowboy · April 16th, 2010, 04:02 PM

I don't think I've ever had one of anything. Here are a few dreams;

Old School Yosh Katana (I've had two 82 Katanas)

The 800 will be extinct next year so why not one of these

Anyone who is a real man has to have a 2 stroke (or two)

Street version

Ducati is a must for every garage

This is just beautiful

I know everyone on here loves Harleys, well so do I!

Daeldren · April 16th, 2010, 04:12 PM

Norton Manx 500 in race trim

or

Duc Supermono

damn I have expensive tastes

schneider_11 · April 16th, 2010, 04:39 PM

Ducati 1098, the Ferrari of bikes

FerociousNINJA · April 16th, 2010, 04:44 PM

Like the Ducati 848 & Bimmer 1000RR. Love Sci-Fi so have to go with the Tron light cycles.

KTRacing38 · April 16th, 2010, 04:47 PM

I gotta go with the same answer as Postiez : White Ducati 848!

Second choice Triumph Daytona 675 SE (nice choice edbro!)

Racer X - the RC51 is such an amazing bike! I raced one for a year and loved it! (see profile pic!) All the guys thought I was crazy, but it was just so much fun on the track! Stable, confidence inspiring (but a big pig on tight tracks!).

miks · April 16th, 2010, 04:47 PM

Probably this:

Or a 1952 B33 500cc single:

Sailariel · April 16th, 2010, 05:29 PM

I like the Honda NT700V. It would be my first choice for long distance touring. For short distance touring--1000 to 3000 miles, the Ninjette is fine--especially with the 15T front sprocket.

adouglas · April 16th, 2010, 06:08 PM

I didn't really jones for a supersport...

...until I saw the BMW S1000RR.

It's way, way too much bike for my needs. But I really want one.

Syphen · April 16th, 2010, 07:02 PM

Call me crazy.. but:

NSR250SP

I just cannot afford the upkeep & maintenance of the two-stroke to justify it.

Flashmonkey · April 16th, 2010, 07:26 PM

Dream bike? Every single bike that I DON'T own. Yea that should cover it

Reswob · April 16th, 2010, 07:39 PM

x3, Triumph Daytona 675 Triple (non-SE version)

backinthesaddleagain · April 16th, 2010, 07:46 PM

Theres that aluminum tanked Duc.

clegg · April 16th, 2010, 07:58 PM

BMW S1000RR... just flat out sex on two wheels. I am a sucker for technology.

Either that or a Benelli Cafe Racer.

+1 for the red Daytona 675. I'll be keeping my 250 though when I get the Triumph.

tac12345 · April 17th, 2010, 01:20 AM

The new Z1000 or the S1000RR

adouglas · April 17th, 2010, 06:19 AM

You people have interrupted my sleep. There's an S1000RR at the nearest BMW dealer (also a Duc dealer

) and I'm going to go drool on it today.

JeffM · April 17th, 2010, 07:04 AM

These two - Honda NR750 and RC30:

Link to original page on YouTube.

caferacer · April 17th, 2010, 07:51 AM

Hypermotard...

QuarterBoreNinja · April 17th, 2010, 08:26 AM

I missed the chance to buy one of these when they were new on the dealer's floor, I'd like to find one one day... Nothing says overkill like a 6 cylinder motorcycle...

mikedabike64 · April 17th, 2010, 08:55 AM

i'd honestyl settle for a 2008 + ninja 250r not very original but true.

Snake · April 17th, 2010, 09:15 AM

My dream bike would be a Ninja 250 4 cylinder with fuel injection. That's not much to ask is it?

Here is a start on your dream:

You just need to fit fuel injection.

Verus Cidere · April 17th, 2010, 10:46 AM

I'm also in with the pool for the Triumph Daytona 675, but I'd want mine in white.

Cab305 · April 17th, 2010, 12:29 PM

Honda RC30, for the next 15 min or so till I think of something else.

adouglas · April 17th, 2010, 02:01 PM

This thread made me go to my local BMW dealer today. I sat on the S1000RR.

The thing fits me, darnit.

And they offer test rides.

Rainy today, but I'll be back.

I also saw, sat on and really, REALLY liked the K1300S. Not as extreme... more practical, but still a sportbike for sure. The only thing about it that I don't like is the weight. Oh, and the price tag. Pfft. Trifles.
