I've got 4 more bikes in addition to a Ninja 1K.

'86 Suzuki GSX-R750
'95 Ducati 916
'02 Yamaha WR426F street plated
'08 Honda CBR1000RR

The Ninja 1K, CBR and WR are day to day bikes. Used for sport touring, sport and off road/dual purpose riding respectively, they'll get replaced as needed or as the opportunity to own something better at a bargain price comes up.

The GSXR and 916 are fun ride bikes. Ride them down to a bike night or ride them on some twisty weekend ride when I want to remember how riding used to be, before progress made it ridiculously easy. Allot of fun to run away on a twisty road from guys riding the latest and greatest sportbikes, who are younger or barely older than these bikes.

Some days I think of owning exotic collectible bikes, but I've found I can't own anything that I'd be really bothered if I threw it down the road, or which I didn't find really fun to ride.

Interesting concept for a thread. I like it.

Realistically, I would just buy an adventure touring bike. EDIT: I would still keep the Z! I have the Z for fun, and an adventure touring bike would be my key to off road and touring in one bike.

Unrealistically, I would own a dirt bike and a sport bike and a touring bike in addition to the Z. The touring bike would likely still be off-road capable.

The good news is that I still think the Z is the right choice for me if I can only have 1 bike, and at the moment, I can only have 1 bike.

For me? It would be the zx10r

diethornig · 02-04-2012, 12:08 AM

Or maybe the G650X.

2011 zx10r would be my choice if I could pick one up today. Dream bike would be an MTT Y2K! I work on the Allison gas turbine engines on a daily basis. But at $180,000 it is a bit out of my current price range LOL

Since my Ninja 1000 is the perfect bike for where and how I ride I would go old school and get a Eddie Lawson replica.
