If they were obtainable and in this order:
1) the old BMW airhead my maternal grandfather rode to work each and every day back in the old country when I was a small child growing up. I can still hear it reverberating across the cobblestone streets of our village. He was paid on Fridays and all his grandkids (I and four cousins) would go running down the street once we heard it in the distance knowing he had a candy bar for each of us in his jacket pockets.
2) Any bike that Evel Knievel jumped with.
3) don't really need a 3rd bike if I had those two.
If I could only have 3 in my garage and money mattered (which it does):
1) HD XR1200 (which I have)
2) CB1100 (which I have)
3) An ADV bike...the new Guzzi V85 or something in that range, pref at or under 500 pounds wet...A Guzzi Stornello would be an option if I could haul enough gear on it.
If cost were no object:
1) a very high end custom build big block Guzzi café
2) a very high end custom build 883 based Sportster Enduro/Scrambler
3) totally optioned out naked Gold Wing custom build from the last model 13/14/15/16/17 years.
All three bikes would have polished aluminum tanks. The café and scrambler would have red frames. all bikes would have round headlamps and brown leather seats
