So what 10 would you buy?

Damn this is going to be hard. 1: Guess I have to keep the Cx500 Custom since it's my baby. 2: Honda Shadow under 10 years old 3: I can't be greedy so I need to get melody a few bikes. She really like the yamaha Rt100 that she has so I'll take one of those. 4: Another for Melody. Honda Rebel 250 new or old doesn't matter as they all seems to have low miles. 5: Kawasaki KLR 250 or greater. The one my brother blew up was a pretty good on and off road machine. 6: A Motoguzzi of some sort. Probably a california. 7: A Ural of some sort with side car and 2wd rear wheel. 8: I guess it's time for a death bike of some type. Doesn't the middle 80's VT1100 go up to 160mph. 9: You know a BMW sounds good around now. So a BMW F 800 GS would fit the bill since I'm curious what they are all about and it would add another enduro to the pack. 10: Damn the list is getting down there so I mise well get a gl or cx 650 naked in wine berry. 10 bikes is really to many unless you have the room or are flipping them so I'll knock it down to the three that are necessary. Which are 1, 4, and 8. 4 would be red like this. And 8 would probably look like this. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

I haven´t owned bikes for so long that I can list a row of personal nostalgia bikes. There are a couple, that played a role during my childhood though. The others are just bikes I´ve been riding (some for my local bike dealer) or are on my "wish-list". 1. Indian Chief with side-car. The first bike I was on - my father´s cousin let me go with him when he visited. Fond memories.... 2. BMW R 25. Same owner and a remarkably cute little bike. Saw a mint one in Bangkok many years ago and started to drool.. 3. Yamaha V-MAX 2009. A brute. I never had the guts to let it show near its full potential. RESPECT!! 4. Yamaha MT-01. Lots of power and rather primitive. Some charm to add to the muscles. 5. Honda GL 1800. They don´t make them more comfortable than so. The engine is a gem! 6. Yamaha FJR 1300. Fast. It´s something about tourers that do easy power wheelies. 7. Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans. A beauty, displaying its engine nicely. + the sound!! 8. Victoria Bergmeister. A predecessor to the CX family. There were some few in my town when I was young. 9. RUMI 125 sport. They were everywhere when I was young. Terrific sound! 10. Velocette Thruxton. A friend of mine owns one and they are indeed classy bikes. I certainly wouldn´t mind a garage with one of each... Sture Honda CX 500 (B) x 4. Honda CB 400 N (C) Superdream -82. M´lady´s learner bike. Yamaha SRX 600 -86. Project, currently in wait mode. PAV 40, Czech single-wheel bike trailer. Project with many stand-stills.    Report

I went into partnership on a 1975 Kawasaki Z1B 900cc bike, it needs a lot of cleaning, the engine has surface corrosion, seat needs a new cover, new chain and tires. It does run with no major problems other needing new points and maybe a carb clean. On the KZ and vintage Kawasaki forums everybody raves about this vintage superbike and say its the most wanted bike period and it has been drawing very high Blue Book values. I wonder if anybody hear have the same feeling? It doesn't exactly turn my gears or float my boat, I would rather have a Valkyrie or Goldwing. 1980 CX 500 Deluxe with Vetter Vindicator Electric Fan conversion LED lamp conversion Bridgestone Spitfires New Ricks Motorsports stator H4 HID headlamp 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer New stuff being added every day.    Report

The Kawasaki I was going to buy I passed it up, I am thinking my next bike will be a sport tourer like the Yamaha FJR1300.

Ok, I can do this. 1) CX650T (would gladly settle for a 500T) 2) CX650E 3) CBX Ideally one of the later ones with dual disks, and would do away with the chrome exhaust. I just think the chrome header makes the 6cyl look weird. 4) Kawasaki Concours 14 5) A Guzzi of some sort. V7 Classic maybe. 6) Ural with 2wd 7) This Italian military Vespa 8) KLR650 Loaded up with camping gear. 9) Tomos top tank moped. Just looks like it'd be fun to ride around my neighborhood. 10) BMW enduro. Not sure which one, but Im running out of steam, and I think they look cool Well, thats 10. 1981 Honda gl500    Report

Can't name ten, but without a doubt a lot of classics have been listed here. 1) Honda CR250 2) Honda CB175 - a rarity Have owned both, but then again I had a 50cc Italian built Harley that was a lot of fun so long as you didn't need any power or more than 3 gears. I guess I can't forget the old Yamaha 650 Magna I had at one time. Factory demo, cam was different, full fairing but it was just a hair too top heavy in full dress for me at the time. First time I've ever seen 140 mph on a bike with room still left to spare and it would get there quite quickly. Let me tell you - soon as you get much past 100 you lose your side vision capabilities and all you can do is look far forward. 1979 CX500C ░░░░░░░ 96 & 98 GTP, 78 Chevy G30 400V8, 78 Gremlin 304V8, 65 Barracuda 273V8    Report

Wow it seems that everyone here has similar taste in bikes. my list would go like this CX500D, Ol' Bessie, have her and she's farkled to the extreme. Could never get rid of her because no one would know how to take care of her. She'll go with me to the grave. Honda CA77 tourng dream with the windshield and bags, A red one will do. Honda CT90 any year newer than 71, Love the dual range tranny and the metal baskets and the spare fuel tank. KLR650 With metal saddlebags, and older one, pre 2007. V-strom. any size, I have a 1000 currently and it fits perfectally, the handle bars are the right length and hight, the pegs are not to high and I'm not sore when I get off after 230 miles. CB350F My first bike, I have two of these now. CB400F My second bike I have none but there is one for sale in Boston for 800 bucks. 1983 Yamaha Vision, A bear to get running right but a very nice balanced bike with enough power, shaft drive and liquid cooling. I think it was to compete with the CX 1993+ Honda CB750, A reliable standard. The kind of girl you marry, looks good, and can cook, and is still exciting after all these years, never lets you down. 1980 to 1987 R80RT I drove a 1986 version on a lap of the Med. Then drove it for a lap of the US. It's the only bike that I put over 100K miles on. I have had three of these. A whole bunch of old junk    Report

I don't really think I would WANT ten bikes, but if I had the room and the money and the understanding wife, let's see how far I would get: 1) 1978 CX500 - just to have the first year (Had one but sold it this past Fall) 2) 1982 CX500 Turbo - got it. 3) 1982 CX 500 Turbo - would like one more, just because they're not making anymore of 'em and I like the colour scheme better than the '83 650T. 4) 1983 CX650 Turbo - just because I would want to see what the bigger displacement did for the bike. 5) 1983 GL650 - just got one! 6) 1978-80 Yamaha SR500 - simple and beautiful, and I've always wanted one. 7) 1982 or 83 Yamaha Vision - basically Yamaha's stab at twin-cylinder, water-cooled, shaft-drive heaven. Had one that I never got running and sold it to a guy who is fixing it up. I'm making him an honorary member of the Atlantic Canada chapter of the HTTA! 8) 1984 Gold Wing Interstate - because in 1984, I had a deposit on a new one but had to back out...as I worked for a Honda (car) dealership at the time, it was going to cost me $4400! 9) 1979 Suzuki GS750 - because it was my first new bike. I remember driving it home from the dealership like it was YESTERDAY! I was blown away by the power and smoothness--understandable since I had moved up from a poor-running two-stroke GT380. 10) Okay, I got to ten. But I have to cheat a little. You see, I think I would have ONE MORE 1982 CX500 Turbo. Just because I think it is the most beautiful, most perfect, most incredible bike ever built! And they're not making them anymore. And I don't EVER want to NOT have one that works. Possibly Member #34 1982 CX500 Turbo 1983 GL650 Silver Wing (acquired 2 Feb 2010) 2000 SK50 DIO (sale pending)    Report
