Ducati have announced...

...a cafe racer version of the already dribblesome scrambler.

How would I get such an n+1 past the lovely Helen?

And if you could have one last mo'bike in current production, what would it be?

 

[Drago]

H2R. I'd die a happy man. And die I would.

And your road-legal choice would be?

 

[Drago]

The current VMax, just so I could gaze at it.

BMW R nine T Racer. Or maybe a Brough Superior. No, wait, a Vincent Black Shadow. Hmm . . .this needs more thought . . .

One of my colleagues in Copenhagen used to ride one to work on dry days. Certainly caught my eye.

 

[Drago]

I'm rebuilding my original Mad Max. Cosmetically it's smart, but the engines a rattler.

Tough choice, as bike design is generally getting as ugly and as flabby as car design, with similar awkward "nods to the past" pastiches. One I want "off the shelf" doesn't spring to mind, loads of old ones do though. Maybe a Yamaha SCR950 scrambler?

 

[subaqua]

difficult choice.

hayabusa (1999) of course, but i have a soft spot for triumph speed triples

however I would love to have a RD250LC again or even an RD125 in white with a red flash on the tank

Oh, it's a motorbike thread. That would explain why it doesn't appear to be in English.

Yup BMW R Nine T for me also love that boxer twin

I used to have an R1100R - best (motor)bike I've ever owned.

We had a mate with an RD80LC and even that was a wheelie nutter machine. Talking of nutter machines a lot of guys I knew were making the 350`s look like 250`s by changing the front wheel to a single disc

I've always fancied a z750, the 2 pot. Those big Kwak twins just do it for me in a way that leaky British iron never did.

I rode the R1100R & S and enjoyed them both but I absolutely loved my GS1150ADV
