Writing down the current "dream garage"

Kawasaki Z1000 (daily bike)

KTM 690 enduro R (dual sport)

Buell XB12 (in cherry bomb red. This would be a V-twin/turbo-ed machine for the weekends)

Honda CBR600 F4i (stunt bike)

BMW S1000RR (track bike)(IN GULF!)

Yamaha V-max (cruiser)

some project/cafe racer/scrambler.

+ something for the SO. Triumph Daytona 675 R maybe?

Dam I'm going to need a big garage. And something for carrying these. VW rabbit pick up with a modern 2.0L TDI swap?

I love the clear red tanks on those Buells.

Why you no want cars?

I would need 2 cars.

someone with a bed to haul these (the aforementioned VW)

and something to drive in the winter (A Volvo V60 polestar would do quite nicely I think)

Add the weird oil tank, the under frame muffler/exit, and that perimeter brake rotor, and you have the short list of things I really, really loved about those guys.

i predict your significant other demoting you to the Daytona if your SO likes riding. At the very least I bet the VMax doesn't end up belonging to you.

I love the garage mix though. Not boringly realistic, but not too un-realistic.

I saw a moving van for sale in my area for $2500 and my immediate thought was that it could be an immediate garage/shop for my bike. I'm vacillating between that idea and the El Camino/shop truck idea now.

hehe. shes is a little scared of it atm. Parent had a friend, you know the shtick. but she will ride 2 up with me. at the very least she is getting her permit for cheap insurance on the bikes.

I have a friend with FOUR different boxer BMWs. a HP2s, a R12S, and 2 GS's/ I dont get it. if you are going to get multiple bikes, get them for different uses. not the same bike 2 or 3 times.

I know. GREAT looking bikes. The current EBRs are so close...but too expensive and no ABS = no sale to me.
