When I first said I was going to get a motorcycle, my wife threatened to leave me. My first thought was "Is that all it will take?" After a few more logical conversations, and taking the MSF course, etc. I got the M50 based on the idea that I would be riding solo. Before the M was a month old she asked if I would consider giving her a ride. Shortly there after there was another helmet, gloves, etc, and after a couple of rides she decides that this is a good idea.

If I could add a bike, I would put a Corbin Gunfighter seat on the M and use it for solo rides, and get a C90 dressed up for two-up touring.

I could definitely dig a DL1000.

Well, I'd either go and get another 600 kat like the one I DIDN'T wanna give up and have it lowered, a Buell lightning or a speed tripple and fashion some kinda stilts for myself in order to rider her due to my short stature.

GSXR750
R6

I had my eye on both of those for awhile and would still love to have them all, but there is no way I'm giving up my R1!

I would want more of a Muscle Cruiser, like the M109, Warrior, Mean Streak, or V-Rod. I would want a different style than my Star, there is no need for another ride of this style!

K, we all would want to be Jay Leno and buy everything so to keep it sane, I'm restricting this to new bikes to add to the garage.

GSX-R600 - just so I could have light bike for the twisties
Aprilia RSV1000-R (Factory Model) - this is such a nice bike!
Honda GL1800 (the Gold Wing) - loaded out for touring N America - two up
BMW R1200 GS - for touring the world outside of N. A. - might be the best all purpose tourer of all time.

i really want a GSXR-600 or an R6. the wife gave in to the M50 but she is being very stubborn about the sport bike. she knows i like to go fast and doesnt think i can control it i guess.

I'd like a v-twin sports bike. a buell would be cool. I know its not a v-twin ... but a gixxer would be cool too.

This is a no brainer for me.

If I bought another bike, I'll be sleeping in the stable.
