OK, your Buell is the mutt's nuts I understand. Mine too. But if you had the dollars, what would be the bike you'd park next to it in the garage. A Hayabusa so the Missus could blat with you in a bit of comfort? One of those very cool Monster 1100s? A fat arse Harley? A Japanese hyper-hyper-hyper sport. A Vespa?

As far as practicality goes, I think an XT would look great next to my tubers.

Other than Buells.. I'd love to have a Wakan or one of the other American V-twin tube frame bikes (The one with a big twin engine that Brad Pitt was seen riding not too long ago) I forgot the name of it.

Sorry, I guess my current taste in motorcycles isn't very diverse.

I would want a V-Rod muscle. }I actually want one in place of my Buell, but can't afford that right now.

Jay Leno's garage
I know one won't do it I will always need alot of machines as the day determines the style of riding I feel like doing.(IE) I would love an old knuckle to ride along the lake on a cool evening after a hectic day at work. A bagger for that long long trip I alwways want to take ( just in case I actually do it). An 1125R for track days a bonneville cause they look cool. I always have need for a UJM standard and of course the XB for everything in between and not in between.

Night Rod Special, I'd have to change the pipes to something black though.

I just bought a 2008 Yamaha FZ1 to park beside my Firebolt. Let me tell you it is one heck of a do it all bike. The Firebolt has become a track only bike.

A '10 Buell Sport Tour powered by the Helicon. Big, detachable bags, adjustable seat and windscreen, slippery but full coverage fairing, heated grips and seat, Comfy all day ergos and an honest 200 mile range.

I would trade in my Ultra for it immediately.

I have to agree with Fullcircle on the FZ-1. I had the first model and all the changes to the second generation were exactly what I was missing on the first! That is what I would do within budget. Outside my budget however.....KTM RC8! Only because I want to ride one badly!

I'm trying to sell the Blast and Firebolt and will subsist on the Uly alone for a while.

...but eventually I'd like to get a CR or something similar as a second bike.

If I'm keeping the Buell it would be a cruiser of some type. Probably either a HD Road King, Ultra Classic, or VRod.

I must admit that I am having a bit of a love affair with the 2003 -2004 Ducati 999s.

I love the way it looks, the detailing of every part of the bike, the philosophy of building a great street bike, and the way the bike handles.

Negatives are expensive scheduled maintenance, price of parts.

I would have to go with the HD Fat Bob if the Buell was going to be sitting next to it.

I spent half an hour just looking over the Bimota Tesi 3D at Barber Motorsports Museum.
It would definitely be in my dream garage.

The next bike I would add to my collection would be a pure sport bike.
Top Contenders: Triumph 675, Buell 1125R, or Yamaha R1

I would go for a Voxan black magic : )



Or a moto morini corsaro veloce although it's a tad too much buell-alike

I only have a Blast right now so next in line is the XB12scg. If I had that already I would go with a Nightster.

I need an XT, if I could get one of those, I'd street fighter my XB more then it already is!

Non Buell, I'd have to go with a M109R or some other low riding, cruising bike with wide handle bars and a fat gas tank.

But I'd have to get an XT regardless.
