If you were limited to two motorcycles....

The first one would be a BMW R80GS, w/ swingarm. (with the two bike limit first would be a duel sport) Next would be a large street bike one of the following Harley FLH or FLT, BMW LT, or if I won the lottery a Kiwi Chief. But some of the bikes I now have have sentimental value and even with only two bikes the 49 Panhead would have to be one!

An older bike (cheap insurance), something like my CB750 but an old Brit bike would do as well:

And I'd keep my Ural Patrol:

Some middleweight standard for twisties and general tooling around (Versys, SV, etc.) and a big dual sport (GS, Adventure) for touring. Although BMWs new F800GS might be a good way to combine both.

I would have to have a Ural Gear Up and a Honda ST1300. Too bad both those bikes cost a bit of money.

I am currently 1/2 way there and working on the other half. Great choice.

My first choice would definately be a chopper. Not an OCC style chopper, but a real chopper. None of this built from the ground up using interchangable aftermarket mass produced chrome disasters.

Hell, I wouldn't even have a V-Twin. I'm down with an old eighties model 4 cylinder engine thrown into a rigid frame. Something that has some personality.

I see chromed out V-Twins everywhere around here, and 9 times out of 10 these bikes are not really driven. You usually see them mostly on sundays. The local coffee shops are jammed full of these weekend warriors.

Damn, I'm geting off topic here.

I can't answer your question, there's just too many options.

I would want a cruiser or tourer of some sort and a bike that gets really really good fuel mileage (maybe like the one I have now

). In reality, I doubt I'll ever get a tourer because of cost; at that price area, I'll probably go with a car...especially since some cars are cheaper than some tourers. But, a mid-range cruiser should be doable in a few years.

I had to think about this one pretty hard.

Currently, I think it would be a Concours 14 and a B-King. Something to tour on, and something to rip up the roads.
