This is definitely one that I just know is going to find a way into the garage! It's beautiful in person too, really a classy looking bike. Kind of harks back to older bikes that had actual curves, before they all turned into alien transformers or ugly adventure style bikes. Expensive for sure, but it sure would be a fun ride around the great roads here by the Smoky's!
Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello

A GS of some description. And a T100 Bonneville.

Honda crf300L rally.
I had the 250L until I bought my pan america but sliding the rear end around on a twisty gravel road is so much easier on a 320 LB bike than a 585 LB bike.

But, I've never owned a motorcycle! Just day dreaming of them. Maybe I'll start with an XT250 and see how it goes.

We had two of them. Great bikes, just super soft in the tail. Budget for a suspension.

Aprilia Tuono. First saw one around 2005ish. Finally got a new one in 2018. Still want to pickup one of the old Rotax vtwins in addition to my v4.

I have a 2010, last year of the Rotax, tons of character to say the least.

Triumph Tiger 900 or T120 Bonnie. Probably will just get both.

I've got a '78 CX500. I'm still not ready for the Moto Guzzi experience.

I've been wanting a naked bike. Was looking at the KTM Duke 890R, but I barely rode my sumo 690 Enduro R, so probaby don't reallly need a bike at the moment.
There is a PHI helicopter pilot near hear that has a mint RC51 That would be the bike I want to end up with at some point. But will likely never happen. At least not in the pristine condition of his
Man how about it! I love every aspect of what that bike was and did, it's a great story.

I hope to own a Harley Davidson big twin (80") flathead some day.

I've been waiting 14 months for one of these, supposedly 4 more months to go according to the local Honda dealer. Attached File

I had a 07 Truono. Most fun street bike I ever owed. I have some pictures of it but not on this device. I traded it when I got into Ducati's. Never ever should have done that.
