    I know you said one - but I'd have to whittle it down from this list:

    Harley VR1000
    Confederate Wraith
    Harley XR1000 ("Lucifer's Hammer BOTT racer)
    Ducati 888SP4
    Ducati 998
    Moto Guzzi Daytona Dr. John Replica
    Ghezzi-Brian Super Twin or Pro Thunder
    Britten V1000

    Ultimately, I'd probably go with either the 1st gen Ducati 916 or the last Gen 998. In recent times, certainly one of the most influential and successful bikes ever made. I truly believe that in time, these will become sought after and legendary (as if they aren't already)...

    Interesting, every bike I've owned was a "cruiser" - yet, none of the bikes I listed would qualify as such.

    Simple question but the answer is not an easy one! So many bikes have so many different purposes, I have ridden so many bikes over the years, not one stands out in my mind as having been better than any other. Maybe a Ducati 999...or a Telefonica GSX-R 600...or a 2009 Honda Goldwing...or a Honda Rune...or a 1098R....Mv Agusta F4CC...Kawasaki 305...I can go on for the rest of my life. I'm gonna pull a Fabio and try to get 365 bikes so I can just ride a different one for every day out of the year.

    If I had to chose one motorcycle, it would be a BMW R90 or r100, boxer, air cooled of course. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance....a year in the life of a BMW owner...the best bike, most reliable, simplest, etc, etc. ( I already have one , great bike)

    Right now I'd like a nice 600cc super sport. Probably an R6. I'd like something I could use everyday, toss into turns, and had great straight line speed without burning through tires every 2k miles.

    Or are we not supposed to be practical, in that case a Ducati Desmosedici. :)
