Only 9 more, please!

[jmv2006]

In a civilized world everybody should be entitled to have 12 motorbikes!
These are the other 9 bikes I’m still missing in my stable (in alphabetic order)

 

[grandpaul]

I would on the Honda CB750K, the Guzzi V7, the Norton, and the Triumph Bonnie.

In my case, the ones that fill those holes are an '82 750F, '74 Eldorado cop bike, current project 880 Dreer Norton, and my '69 race Bonnie.

The others in your list are too new, or not to my tastes.

 

[Rocky]

I don't have a T120, but I do have a T100 so that more or less satisfies that need/want. The BMW and the Honda turn my crank, and maybe the Norton, but the others don't.
Besides, I only have room for one more bike and don't expect to fill that space anytime soon

 

[DaveM]

I don't have the room for another bike either :silent:

 

[CarlS]

I would like to have the Guzzi California, the Norton and the Bonnie. The rest are not my style; though I would like to have an older BMW.

This bike eventually will the first to make me lose my “Triumph religionâ€. :wink:
For me it has the best looks of any Cruiser/Custom EVER with the BIG advantage of having the footboards in the right place (no feet forward :ya2 :y115:

 

[CarlS]

I agree on all counts!

Wow JMV - your Christmas wish list is an impressive one. Looks like you'll have change the words to the 12 Days of Christmas! Farside would love a Brutale - said he'd park it in the lounge so he could stare at it all the time! Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Glad you're back - missed the great pics you always post! :y115: :y18:

You're soooo right!!

 

[Dilligaf]

That Guzzi Cal-vintage sure is cool. They are however a bit underpowered.

[/quote]You are right about the power output not being very impressive (72 Hp) although it is quite more than any Harley Davidson of the SofTail line :ya2: Torque figure at 94 Nm is adequate.
Anyway! You are not supposed to go too fast with it. You have to allow people the time to admire such a beauty!!! :y18:

A very nice review at: http://www.2wf.com/content/view/1048/28/1/0/

 

[CarlS]

That is a good review. It would look great with Cozy sidecar.

Gromit:

I would hope there's no carpet in that lounge. I've read two shootouts with the Brutale, coz I think it's a looker too - but both times the bike broke down. Gulp!

If I had the place for... and the money to spent on ...a few more motorcycles , to ride with on a regular basis, not a fragile and expensive oldtimer, but more realistic bikes, it would be
the Enfield 500 clubman a new built classic caferacer
A Norton, but not realistic, coz too expensive.
For the rest I love Tritons, Triumph Speed twins, Bonnies, BSA singles and a few more
did ye notice, NO modern STUFF...


PS everybody understands Y154?
