There are actually a few bikes that I wish I would have bought. The problem however is that I would want to keep all of these bikes, and I just don't have the space to do so!

The one that comes to mind right now was the MV Agusta Brutale 910 S in orange. Amazing bike, and I personally thought that orange and black version was just perfect. I still do...

I graduated college in winter semester of 82. Found work and immediately went to a dealer with intent of buying a GS1100E. I think it was the price of insurance that resulted in my buying an 82 GPZ550. That was one sexy machine, but I always wondered what it would have been like to have the 1100. A magazine at the time said it “was still accelerating hard enough at 100 mph to flatten your eyeballs”.

A friend of mine bought a new silver/red 2006 MV Agusta 910S Brutale, and put less than 1000 miles on it before he wanted to sell it to me (for $5k!). I rode it and remember it had stiff rear shock compression damping that he couldn't adjust out, and it was as precise and direct as anything I could imagine.

And I would only be able to ride it at a fraction of its capability. But it was as beautiful as it was inappropriate for me. If I had the space and money to waste, I'd have it in my office and enjoy staring at it. I haven't dismissed that yet. One day, when internal-combustion machines are antiquated/outlawed.....

1980 Suzuki GS1000s Marriage and kids became my focal point but was able to ride again and have had some fun bikes including my current 3.[Image: 28a30e4d2816a00b7f9b81e0f023629b.jpg]

another runner up for me would be a 1098, but like the VFR, just not practical for a person of my financial status
