What is your dream motorcycle garage?
What is your dream motorcycle garage?
If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?
I'll go first:
- Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
- Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
- Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)
I still think the mid 2000s GSX-R 750 is the ultimate street "sport bike" so...
- GSX-R 750
- Yamaha FJR
- Honda CRF 450x / Yamaha WR450
Nothing exotic mainly because working on them/getting parts/maintenance all overpriced :). If all maintenance is included mine could change.
Tron Light Cycle. Kaneda"s bike in Akira. Imperial Speeder Bike.
Kaneda's bike is the Honda NM4 Vultus. Think there's an electric version now too. It's on my wishlist as well.
I'm 6'6" so I don't typically get to pick the bike, the bike picks me but ..
- My current Indian Chieftain Limited
- A KTM Super Duke
- A BMW R1250GS
Good bike variety there still. Only thing really missing is something for track days but I'd imagine a Super Duke would do well with some fairings
I feel like it'd be something like:
- KTM Adv 790
- Zero DSR
- Cake Osa+
Something for offroad motocamp trips. Something electric for daily comute and runabout. And an electric grocery getter - which tbh should probs be an ebike so I could ride on bike paths etc, but I'll keep my answer more moto related.
I say a class 1-3 E-Bike is not a motorcycle, but something like a Surron is a motorcycle.
Yeah, I'd be getting a lower class ebike coz in Australia basically an ebike has to be 250w or less and pedal assist or it falls into a grey/illegal area. I can't be arsed with running an illegal bike - even if I might never get caught/questioned.
I'd like two bikes: a zero srf, and my fuel-injection converted Suzuki GS1000.
Cafe bike which I can also camp with, eMoto for zipping around the city. Plus space to work on projects in general.
Accessible toy - Tenere 700 Extreme Edition Daily fun - a boxer twin naked/cafe BMW K1600GT - sell the car and tavel far
Can I just have all of them? Every time I see a weird motorcycle I just want it. So I guess I would skip the crotch rockets and HDs, but just normal ones. Currently -KLR650 -XT225 -1969 Yamaha L5T
I already have 2 of them, the Multistada V4S and Street Triple Moto2. For the 3rd, I'd better go with a track bike, and I've had my eye on the ZX-4RR in 40th Anniversary livery. Be fun to use it to hopefully compete for the podium at my local racetrack in the 500 class.
Those are some really nice bikes! No cruisers/off-road/touring/ADV bikes though?
Thanks! I hate cruisers, and the Multistada is an ADV bike.
Fully insured and on fire due to 'the neighbors kids.' I could use a payday. /S
Arch because why not Some sort of electric cruiser An electric sport bike for zoom zoom
What's Arch?
Arch Motorcycle is a motorcycle company that Keanu Reeves confounded in 2011.
They aren't exactly my style but they are all made from ground up. I don't believe this is a mass production motorcycle, in a sense. I mean that each one is built and inspected by the team. Handcrafted if you will.
Fun fact: Arch Motorcycles were used as the base for models in Cyberpunk under the Arch brand.
Late to the discussion but here's mine:
- GSXR 750 (current)
- Indian Scout Bobber
- Honda NM4
The Honda NM4 is allegedly the concept bike for the Akira anime. I want to be Kaneda.
- BMW S1000RR m sport for the track
- Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 factory for fun tours
- ENERGICA EGO+ RS to save the planet ;-) seriously though I would like an electric bike for a quick run around. I've spent very little time looking at them though
Only three?? Awwww maaan
I recently sold two bikes, one that was weird and uncomfortable (but fun) and one that was fun but needed work almost every time I rode it. I bought one new bike that just works and it's been a blast.
Having multiple bikes is only fun for me if I have enough time to ride and maintain them all.
