1. GL 1800 Wing. If you've never tried one don't laugh too much. It's not compulsory to have a grey beard either.

2. Tiger 800 ( got one) or 660 Tenere. Both light and at the top of their game.

3. No need really but if I had to choose it would be a ktm 350 exc. (250 with big bore kit)

4. Another mortgage to pay for them all.

Well, three bikes obviously isn't enough but if I had to pick then I suppose:
Number 1:
Turbo Hayabusa streetfighter. 0 - Pearly Gates in 2.5 seconds.

Number 2:
Husaberg FE650 in both enduro and supermoto clothes. *slurp, giggle*

Number 3:
I won't say ratbike or survival bike for fear of starting a pointless "a ratbike is this, not that" argument. But yes, a lovely Mad Max style "personalised" bike which you don't mind scratching, denting and can go anywhere. Preferably with a trailer like this and maybe a sidecar too. 'Cos sidecars are cool. Its the law.

Bike 1 - KTM 990 Adventure (in the garage) for long distance stuff, including trails

Bike 2 - Yamaha WR250F (in the garage) for proper dirty fun....you don't need more than a 250!

Bike 3 - Honda Africa Twin (space in the garage) for posing around on in full Dakar Racing colours etc etc......still has to be THE coolest looking desert racer styled bike ever!
Yes I agree very cool,heres my friend, Jonathan Parke and his fairly recent build.

I think I could find some room in the corner of my garage.. :) :laugh:
