Would love the desmo but I need to reach my targets in work before I can afford one, and at 21 I don't think my insurance would enjoy those quotes! Ha.

Bimota V Due, RG500, TDR250, Ducati 888 and the Yamaha IT465/490 are all bikes I'd fancy owning.

This months Practical Sportsbikes has rekindled my desire to own a Yamagamma. I had a standard mk3 Gamma when I was younger but it was dog slow compared to the Yamagamma's a couple of mates owned.

Actually I'd love to own any of the strokers from the golden age....

So apart from the Britten (which was hideous) you want four of your non Honda bikes to be er Honda! Lol


For me pretty much all Ducati.

888,998R,,999R and the Desmosedici

Street triple r
Aprilia shiver
Husqvarna nuda 900r


If a honda were allowed, this would be high on my list:

Apparently honda will build the new cb1100r, how true it stays to the concept bike above is anyone's guess.
