So you've got a heated garage, a CB 1100 and enough cash and space for four more current production bikes, what you going to choose? I would choose bikes quite different from one another which could cover all types of riding. My choice would be:
1). KTM 690 - light weight, fast reving, fun on the twisties.
2). Indian Scout - laid back cruiser with sporty engine.
3). Triumph Thruxton - got to have a cafe racer.
4). Yamaha V Max - nothing else like it.

Good choices Paul.
I would go for a Scout also and a Motus, Suzuki DR650 and an old air head BMW.

I'm not familiar with the Motus but just seen the Site and it looks interesting. I considered the R9T BM but thought it was too close to the CB. The DR 650 would have been my sixth choice had I allowed myself one.

I could go with the KTM 690...would also like the Triumph Street Twin...wouldn't mind a Royal Enfield Bullet...and, hmmm, what else?.....and I'd like to try the Yamaha xs900....but, alas, my pocket isn't full of cash! Have to stay content with the CB and the KLR650.

The Interceptor would certainly be #1, but the other 3 are in no particular order.
Honda Interceptor 800 ($12,500)
BMW R1200GS ($16,500!)
BMW K1600GT ($21,500!!)
Ducati XDiavel S ($23,000!!!)
You can probably tell that I'm a big fan of open swingarms. And with almost $75,000 bucks worth of hardware, you're darn right my garage would be heated!
