If you could have only one motorcycle, which one would it be?

Answer 1

That's easy! Honda's CB250 Nighthawk: it's lightweight, agile around town, super-reliable, cheap to run and insure, easy to ride, easy to work on, easy to park, low-maintenance, durable, versatile, good-looking and FUN! Plus I get gas mileage of 80-90 mpg, and with a California-version 4.3-gal. tank, my range between fill-ups is 300+ miles (non-Cal bikes have 4.8-gal. tanks). Last but not least, at the end of a long riding day I'm just as comfortable as I was in the morning. No other bike, *at any price,* offers all these advantages. Some say you will want more power. I'd say you might, but I personally don't and never did. The CB250 is no roadburner but has more-than-adequate power for daily riding, and can be made to run even better with a couple of simple fixes. The only downside in my opinion is that the MSRP has crept upward in recent years. There are now two or three bikes in the marketplace priced lower than the Nighthawk, but there’s still nothing that comes close to matching its all-around competence. This is THE motorcycle.

Answer 2

That's easy. My 1955 BMW R50/2
Earls fork means there's no front end dive when braking,
Drive shaft to rear wheel means no rear end dive when accelerating.
Horizontally opposed 2 cyl engine, the exhaust valve is right in the wind so there's no overheating . . . ever.
There's also no obstruction to taking off the valve covers to adjust the valves.
It has a magneto and a generator, so even with a dead-flat battery, it will fire right up on the first kick.
It was made in Germany by anal retentive engineers
It's got the very coolest art deco lines
The transmission isn't lubricated by engine oil like Jap crap.
It doesn't leak from every pore like my British bikes.
The electrics weren't made by Lucas.
It always gets me home.

Answer 3

For now, I'll have to stick with my 6R. But a few years down the road....I'm not sure what I'll be getting, but it'll be bigger. At the very least the 750, but I may want to max it out to whatever is available then.

I'll probably stick with Kawi's, but when the time comes I'll look over the specs and choose what fits me best.

In fantasy land, though, my choice would be the 1999 Hayabusa. Hands down, no second thoughts, no hesitation.

Answer 4

BMW R 1200 GS
It's like the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles, it does everything.

Answer 5

MV Agusta F4 1000

Probably the Ducati Monster S4R. It's got everything - loads of power, torque, style, sound, and it's comfortable. What more could a girl ask for?
