If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?

I'll go first:

  1. Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
  2. Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
  3. Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)

I'm 6'6" so I don't typically get to pick the bike, the bike picks me but ..

  • My current Indian Chieftain Limited
  • A KTM Super Duke
  • A BMW R1250GS

Good bike variety there still. Only thing really missing is something for track days but I'd imagine a Super Duke would do well with some fairings

I'm in the opposite direction but same problem. Wanted a ZX6R settled for a GSXR 750. Not a bad compromise.
