Bucket list bikes

My list keeps changing. I have Il Monstro, and just sold the Monza, as it was too small and too nice for me.

The V65 Sabre with the Hondaline fairing is a keeper, as is my 650 Seca and a KTM 620RXC, believe it or not. Several other semi-odd 70s-early 80s JapBikes in the keeper pile, as well, including a XV920R and an FT500.

Looking for an ATK, an RZ350 (that I also would be too big for, but I am still kicking myself about a bumblebee I missed out on a couple years ago), a Guzzi Ambo, and probably an SRX6

FT500 is the single and VT500 is the shaft-drive twin, right? IIRC, both had factory tracker-esque styling.

I do like that Monster...the yellow looks great!

As for bikes being too small...I am 6'2" and my Goose 350 sort-of fits for a short ride, yet I still love it! Don't let a slightly heftier build keep you from the nimble corner carvers...nobody says you have to ride it all day!

And Cooter and I have similar tastes in bikes...

I wanted an old Honda 4cyl as well so check this off the list

Bucket list???

How about this...

And then my bike ADD kicks in, but today it would be this...

Or this...

I had a soft spot (hard spot?) for a Bimota Mantra for years. One turned up at a local shop for $23,000 which is stupid money. It stayed in the area for 20 years and finally came up for sale at around $8,000.

Maybe I've grown out of it.

I'd love to have another laeger protrax 250r quad, and it'd be cool to have a collection of old two stroke sport quads, quadzillas, banshees, quadracers, etc. too.

I have always had a thing for a ATC250R. I had a ATC70 and a XR80 as a kid -

I also have a thing for a OW01 - a 1989 FZR600 was my first street bike

If I had the money, I would have a hard time deciding between a red and white or a blue R7

Bimota's are neat as hell, no bucket list would be complete without an MV Agusta though. I'll probably end up with a used 312R or a new F3 800 in the next few years, just depends on my tastes at that point.

Any interest in a 500cc 2 stroke GP bike clone?

Probably not due to finances, eventually perhaps. I'd really like to import a zx2r though due to the noises they make. I'll probably do a turbo ninja 250 at some point as well.

This shiny happy people muzzy raptor. Mostly because the damn thing would kill me.

Yea, I already own one bucket list bike for sure, being a 1 of 3 built is pretty exclusive.

Been working on "boosting" the power level a bit lately via a homebrew supercharger. <img src="" />

@ sesto element -
as a kid, I had two of those ATC70s. My fathers pipe fitting company did a big job at a Canadian refinery and they bought a dozen of them to get around the site. when the project was over, he kept two for me and my brother. They had a cool flame sticker kit on the tank. I looked at getting one for the fun of it and cant believe how much they sell for in good shape. I remember hating the pull start because it always broke, but as a 10 year old, it was fun to work on. I broke a rear hub jumping a 10 foot dirt pile (in my memory it was at least 10 foot tall but in real life it was probably 3 foot tall).

That is a really legit looking CX500!

CX-500 is one of my favorite looking bikes ever. Looks good in plain, touring or cafe racer mode.

I had this poster on my wall as a kid, and I still want an old-school V-MAX. I don't care if it corners well, neither do I.

And of course these guys were my heros...

I guess I don't have exotic tastes, but one day I want to own a GSX-R750. Not even a new one, probably one from about 2004 or so.

Which is kinda funny since my current ride is an S-model Ducati with the Ohlins this, Brembo that and carbon fibre those. Not mine, but pretty much this (almost exactly like Cooter and Octavious' bikes):

I am not much of a bike person but have lusted after the brammo empulses

I want a 250cc 2 stroke Honda NSR
