Which bike?

You are allowed to keep your ZXR 400, and are granted as much money as you could ever need to buy one more bike, but that in itself is the catch, you may only buy one other bike.
What would that bike be?
Your one other dream two wheel'd machine?

Just to kick it off, here's mine.

Anyone who can show me something more gorgeous than that, wins a cookie. (It might be difficult though, methinks...)

*Edit* Also, I should mention that posting a photograph of a 998 in the Matrix style deep metallic green is cheating, and will be discounted from the challenge, though for the record, I think you'd be right, it is more gorgeous in that green.

Anyone care to enlighten me as to wtf that is?

*Edit* Also, I didn't consider road legal. Let's make that a condition, too. Road legal bike.

*2nd Edit* BAZ, I FOUND ANOTHER!!! ^_^ ( wtf )

britten synopsis,

built in a shed by an engineering genius and some of his mates in new zealand.. because they could.. (and because the ducati they'd started out modifying was crap)

everything made in house, made loads of power (170bhp! in like 1994!) was almost entirely carbon fibre, entered it in some big races (daytona) and made the factories look rather silly, by winning

he died, age 45. 10 bikes were built.

couple I know up this way have just put a deposit down on a desmosedici. money no object I'd probably do the same.

If I couldn't get hold of one, then I'd probably agree with Gem on the RC45.

Xphy - take a look at this months PB for a big feature on the ZXR750R/K. I wouldn't say no to one of those either.

I saw one go on ebay for 1.8k with 15,000 miles on it ;) can get them cheap if you can find them.

not sure what would be on my list possibly a Bimota 500 Vdue
Image

or a Cagiva 500
Image

tbh the list is far to long most of them would be 2t for sure
