Yer Adz love um have a 1970 Triumph Tiger with about 9000ml on the clock and wouldn't mind getting a vespa or lambreta scooter. Have had heeps of
bikes all the big jap bikes from the 80's to 90's have been in my shed at some time or another. Use to ride my dads GPZ 750 to school when I
was 15 no licence.
The downside is that I've been hit by to many cars in my life to care a great deal about it now days hence why the trumpy has so few miles on
her.

It's only in the last few years I even got into these 4 wheel contraptions 
I've had (and still have) every thing from and XR75 through to a S2 Ducati and heaps in between.
So I'm into both dirt and road bikes. I have done much more road riding though.
My current mount is an '83 R100RT (two wheeled arm chair).
And that's not to mention all the various push bikes I have. :thumb

chance.

I have had bikes since I could walk! Z 50
KH 100, 75 CB 750, 81 CX 500, 81 Z1000J, and the current ride 83 R100RT, just had the engine rebuilt, twin plugged and a bit of porting, and a few
other mods, gives the oil heads a fright! had this one for 17 years, and it will be with me until I cant ride anymore!
Forgot to add my little 1970 C70, the wife has put dibs in on that! 70% restored!
Aircooled Boxer Power! cant beat it!

Over the years-heaps!!
These bikes stick in my memory the most.
Most forgetable: my rat bike- a Honda CB125- when it rained, it came out. Bad move! It had a CABLE operated front disc. Feel?? What feel? Coupled with
a "Nippon Slip-on" front tyre with straight grooves, you only had to think about grabbing the front hook hard & it would lock up.
Most beautiful: a Honda VFR 750- 1986 the all-white one- stunning! I wrote it off one night on the Arthur's Seat road.
Most Brutal: a Kawasaki GTR 1000- heavy as lead until you got to grossly illegal speeds.
Most Scary: Suzuki GSXR1100H. This thing would do nearly 90km/h in 1st gear & there were 4 more gears.
Most Nimble: Honda NSR250x2 A Repsol & a Rothmans Special. The quickest responders to counter steering on the road? I will also never forget the
exhaust smell from using Castrol R synthetic oil in the (2-stroke) tank.
Most safe: an ex-cop BMW K100RT. Up to this bike, I assumed every time I mounted up, I drew on a cloak of invisbility. Not with this M/C! Coupled
with a white helmet & a navy leather jacket everyone just seemed to get out of the way. Fast.
Most comfortable: my current mount- a BMW R80RT. Simple, sturdy, adequate power-a gem!

My choice would be a Ducati - something old (affordable) and nice exhaust note.
But all I have is Bicycles,mountain bike/Alloy racer.
I need the exercise after all this sitting at computer

Aircooled single
Got a '43 BSA WM20, 500cc single pot. Need to pull it apart and service it and get it re-registered.
And as per OvalGlen, got a very nice road bike (bicycle) that I try to ride to work faithfully (I've been very unfaithful lately) and a track
bike for racing around in circles :bounce

I havent had M/Bike but my two cents worth,
Go to the closest Motor Bike wreckers and put a special together ( good 250 motor)on frame that you like and set that seems to suit to you.
Yeah I'm dreamin again.
Check the trade post.

mmm bikes
also motorbike dude here. zzr 600, yoshi exhaust.. and i thought my dub was loud  blew a way a fat bastard on a zx6 other day
stan pobjoy used to be a pretty psycho bike rider too... in fact he shoehorned a dub engine into a drag bike a couple times :thumb can we say
'power to weight ratio'? for a learner bike can't really beat the humble gn250, but it doesn't really have a lot of road presence
whatever you get, make it LOUD so ppl driving volvos don't try and assimilate you :o
let sleeping dubs lie

Bought a GS 400 in 78........still got it...
