I you could have just one bike ( only pick one) and that's the only bike you are ever going to have. What would it be???

My pick would be the 1976 KH250 that I sold 10 years ago. It was the most fun you could have on two wheels.

Impossible for me to answer. I have only ridden on 5 or 6 different bikes in my entire life. Great question though for some of the more experienced riders out there. I would pay money to test ride the V-Max for a day. :mrgreen:

Hmmm, depends where I lived. Here in Asia? Mid-size dual-sport; F650GS, Wee Strom, Tenere, etc. If there was less traffic and/or more freeways like in NA or Europe, I'd go for a Tiger or a boxer GS

I'm still in love with my B-King, we'll see how I feel after 6 months and an accumulation of miles.

Only one bike?
That would be tough, but I'd take this Zundapp KS600 (owned by Henryk Barnat)
It's ready for the next apocolypse!

I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

You are ready to fight the terminators! That has to be like a .50 caliber gun.
