    You win the next $30,000,000 lotto jackpot. $25mil goes into low risk
    investments, 1 or 2 mil into a insane house, another hundred thousandish
    into a shed with top notch security including a dirty, rabid great dane,
    now you have to fill that shed with 1 or 2 million worth of bikes/cars.

    What would you choose? :)

    I have always dreamed of a BMW touring monster though am now leaning towards
    a smaller enduro but one thing puts me off the BMW and that's its pathetic
    sound. My GPX250 sounds more like a real motorcycle.
    Oh and maybe a dodge tomahawk to hang above the fireplace.

    :p

  5. I'd buy several bikes. My top two would be

    1. BMW K1200 superbike
    2. V-Rod custom made, with pegs brought back a bit to compensate for my
    short legs.

    Hmmmm, rather than waste it on something new, I do believe I would invest
    the loot into the rare and exotic like a triumph which doesn't leak oil, an
    AMF Harley that runs, a Vespa with a cannon or even one of those ammazing
    WW2 beemers with a chair and all the accessories ......... the list is
    endless.

    Ducati Desmosedici RR

    MV F4 1000R
    Brutale 910
    Benelli TNT
    The limited edition 25th anniversary 2005 R1
    Triumph Rocket 3 converted to a trike
    Triumph Thunderbird and a 1050 trumpy triple engine as the start point
    for a heavily customised cruiser

    One of the last of the 500cc two stroke GP bikes if I could find a way
    to get one. If not then a privateer Aprilia 250 (I'm sure Westy would
    be happy to get rid of the one he's fighting with :) For track days...

    I'd probably get a couple of dirt bikes as well- haven't done that in
    years but if I had the time...

    and if thats not quite cool and exotic enough:

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigiain/273581126/

    Take a stock Tesi, ditch the 1000DS motor and fit a 998R Testasretta
    motor instead...

    I got to drool^h^h^h^h^h look at both of them a couple of months back,
    they're _nice_...

    I've been thing about this for a while and there's not much out there that
    I'd particularly want ('cept maybe a BMW R1200GS Adventurer with all the
    accessories).
    The three bikes I most wanted aren't available so, if I had the money I'd
    probably build them myself!
    The first would be a shaft-drive Triumph Sprint RS. (Or FJR1300 crankcases
    and gearbox mated to Triumph-triple-like barrels)
    The second would be a diesel heavy cruiser (Gold-Wing, K1100LT etc with a
    3cyl turbo-diesel engine from a car or tractor)
    The third would be a 750 two-stroke sports bike. (Something like a Bimota
    chassis with a snowmobile or outboard 3cyl watercooled 2-stroke engine).

    I'd try an get Yamaha to make a new Super Tenere XTZ 900 or XTZ 1000.
    with a 30 litre tank as standard.

    I would like a Classic Dual Sport

    BMW R100GSPD

    A Classic Sports Bike

    Kawasaki GPZ900R

    and a Classic Heavy Tourer

    BMW K1100LT,

    Then one needs an insane naked mountain muncher.

    Ducati Monster S4R,

    And a sidecar to take the family and lots of crap to rallies.

    It's good to see a man who's achieved his goals in life - are you
    content, or do you now think "now what" ?
