There's an awful lot of nostalgia on that list. Everybody did understand that it's that bike and no others for the rest of their lives, right? I have lots of nostalgia for my old cars for the good times I had in them, but those times aren't happening again and there's no way in hell I'd want to drive most of them for the rest of my life.

In Virginia, 3-wheeled vehicles are considered motorcycles, so my choice is easy ... T-Rex with the 1600 BMW motor ...

Simple, reliable, lightweight, go anywhere I would want to go, with lots of character and class.
Not everybody has one... Or wants one.

Triumph Rocket: Coolest name on two wheels with a 2.3 liter in-line triple. A beautiful machine to boot. Would be happy to have that lifetime warranty with all the British bits that make up this cruiser.

I rode an '08 ST (Big Red) for 3 years, but had to sell her to pay medical bills after my wife's passing. Now, being remarried and sold my house, I was in a position to do almost that. The bike that I chose was.... an '09 St ( BR2 ). It's a pretty good ride to any mountains from SWLA, the ST gobbles up the miles. Then when I get to the curvies, she really does whatever I ask of her. I've added a few farkles, but that was for my taste and comfort. I guess I passed the loyalty test. I tried to post pic, but upload keeps failing. :tb1:
I would get the same bike I have now. 2005 ST1300.

Amazed at the people who must have never heard "Variety is the spice of Life".

Interesting concept, makes for fun dreaming. But the novelty wore off my toys when I was five years old, and the same was true when I was fifty. Now, twelve years later, I tend to keep things longer. Thankfully, the one bike idea is just fictional, because I'd find that somewhat depressing, having been spoiled by my current stable. One machine which tours really well, but will move out smartly when the urge strikes. Another (adventure) which is big fun to flog like a sportbike, and yet does distance comfortably, and a third to appeal to nostalgia.
However, back to the original bit of fiction; Triumph Explorer XC, with a good bit of extra kit added!

1996 was the best year. 40 amp alt no California plumbing.
Pretty awesome, but would not choose it as my ONLY bike. Comfort over 3.5 mph might not quite be there...
Maybe they're married and are warned (or life threatened) against sampling the merchandise.

I've been a Honda rider for 30 years, but if I had to buy a new bike tomorrow, it would not be a Honda. I'm not sure what it would be at this point as there are many out there that I would like to sample.
Honda seems to be looking for the next big niche market. They still do the Goldwing better than anybody else can, but their sport bike and sport touring bikes are 2nd tier at best right now.

I don't know what I did to be so lucky but apparently I won $1,500,000 in a U.K. lottery and it's been 3 or 4 years since I have been to England. How can I be so lucky, there must be a God! I guess I can buy what ever bike I want soon all I have to do is PAY a few fees and bribes Please help me spend this small fortune

Scammers are like mosquitoes, an ongoing pest!
The translation alone is a bit of a laugh...... "the package do not have a return address"......
I bet the package it doesn't exist.....
We don't seem to get too many scams generated from certain African states these days..... but we do get phone calls from another subcontinent about our phones or our computers having a problem with Microsoft operating systems....

The results from this question is pretty much what I suspected. Many mature riders will not shy away from what they know (the ain't broke, don't fix it syndrome), despite receiving an "all expenses paid for" ride. Across the board, the younger riders must have the fastest, latest, most expensive ride they can get. A few yearn for the classics and will use that gift to get it (even if they are now stuck with it). Overall, Mother Honda has nothing to worry about because the ST1300 could remain in its' same form for another 20 years and most of you will still love it. That really says something about the engineers who designed it.
