If money wasn't a factor?

Post by Benno »

We all know we love the big K. But, if you had unlimited funds at your disposal, would the Big K still make the bike of your choice?

I love my 10, but owning a Dodge Tomahawk might be a significant upgrade :lol: In all honesty, I wouldnt mind the Ducati 999 or something imported :lol:

What would you own?

If money was no object, then naturally i'd be placing an order for one of everything from the big K first!!!! Then.............I'd fill the toy box with whatever else took my fancy whenever.

An MV Augusta 1000 would be first on my list, with a brutale too! :)

An KTM Adventure, an Aprilia SXV550 MX and Motard.

An Aerial Atom (with the full aero kit and the 700hp option).

A big fuck orf turbo diesel V8 F250 4X4 Dual cab.

The race bike transporter/motorhome from hell, fully equipped as accommodation and workshop, fitted out with:-

An Mick Doohan NSR500.
A Scott Russel ZXR750 WSBK.
A TZ Yamaha from the early 90's.
Plus a current ZX10 SBK spec.
A current ZX6 SS spec. I can go on........................... :wink:

Mate if money weren't an issue for me, I'd buy em all for all of you! I mean, if it really wasn';t an issue, why would I care! Bikes for everybody! Except for the rude people, they get nothing! :)

I absolutely love my 10 and can't really imagine anything else doing anything more for me. I would spend stupid money doing stupid things to it though, PC111's, exhaust, suspension etc to make it absolutely perfect. I would then keep this as a track toy.

I would then grab a road toy (probably a 12 providing they still existed)

Why I can't explain but I'd probably have a Ducati Desmocedici sitting in the Garage as well for when I wanted my road exploits more "sporting" orientated.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Yeah I'd have a Britten too
But I'd want a cruiser too (cue sights of disgust as I mention the Hellcat again)
