Just something for fun. If you had a bike for every need you can think of (around town, touring, single track, adventuring, hare scrambles, trials, hooliganism, track days, etc.) and money was NO object... What would be your dream bike? The cream of your crop? The one bike that serves no practicality as being your "only bike" but you drool with hunger in your eyes.


Aprilla SXV 550: oil changes every 500 miles, new piston and rings ever 3000 miles. Nasty sounding twin for sure

 

No question or me. Its an easy choice. If I had the money this would be siting in my garage.

 

Except with these tires

 

There are so many! I've had many of my dream bikes over the years, but never this one - MV Agusta Sport America. Also always wanted a Morini 3 1/2.

glad you like the water gs. Its a great bike. Best bike I have ever ridden.

For me it I was lucky enough to get my dream bike in 2009 when I bought my F800GS. I've been to three oceans on it and over 30 states in the 4 1/2 years I have owned it. Some of the places I have been to with it below.

Alaska 2012



Death Valley 2011



Blue Ridge Parkway



Multiple Mackinaw Bridge crossings

 

That's awesome! I like the bmw gs serato or the old x challange. But the aprilla...she beckons...

 

a street legal kawi kx450 supermoto with a tuned kawi 500 2 smoker engine fitted.

 

KTM 690 Enduro - Quest Basel edition.

Ultimate light weight adventure bike. I dont like the huge *** BMW's. They are way too heavy for real offroading imo.



That Aprilla you linked in OP is awesome, they are pretty popular over here, but I couldnt deal with all that maintenence work myself. I like a bike that runs with minimal work.

 

I feel the same way, which is why I'll never get one. But I can dream

I'll probably end up with an xr650l, i've had my eye on one of those for months..
