What would your ideal bike be if money was no object.

Just because of how rare they are I would go for a hesketh

Can't say. While it isn't the rarest of bikes, it is certainly very identifiablee We would be concerned people would identify us by it.

Ducati Desmosedici RR

I like fast and this is as close as it gets to a road legal Moto GP racer. The four-cylinder was a departure and has a “twin-pulse” firing pattern, gear-driven cams, and titanium valves, just like the race bikes.

The body is carbon fiber, the wheels are magnesium, and the bike shares its frame geometry with the GP6 racebike.

It is overkill for the road, but overkill is underrated.

Mick Doohans NSR500. Totally impractical on the roads, but what a grin you would have once you tamed the beast. Nipping down the shops could take hours, as you would needs to enjoy the bike.

Realistically though the Ronax 500, very expensive modern 500 two stroke road/race bike.

Think all 3 of my bikes are very recognisable and the rgv I just bought is a schick bike. Japanese market bike and only £1,000 were made. Doesn't matter if they get recognised to me as I'm single and nothing to hide

Had a lot (and I mean a lot) of bikes and used to run a bike shop.

1800 Goldwing was one of the most entertaining and enjoyable things I ever owned for all the wrong reasons. Amazing priece of kit and if money was no object is have a new one tomorrow.

That said, I'd love a Triumph scrambler subject to a few mods I have in mind for it.

Common as muck. Got a fair few mates with them. Cost a fortune though. Took my mates Popsicle purple one round Cadwell 3 years ago on parade laps. Was down to second gear going up to Charlie's 1

First road bike was a fizzy kwy 6p

Then passed test day after my 17th birthday on a borrowed Honda 250 superdream. And had a Yamaha RD400e BUA 96S waiting for me at home. And no I don't know how I'm still here either

Got my 954 Blade, but would love one of those 'Beckham' bikes, think it's a V Rod, in matt black.

Failing that, how about one of the worlds most expensive bikes, a Brough Superior!

I've got a Ducati monster 600 at the moment, first bike after I passed my test almost 2 years ago.

If money was no object to me I think I'd still keep my monster and get one of the newer ones too. Being short I'm kinda limited to what I'd feel safe riding, love the riding position and so light.

My Suzuki rgv250 is very low and light. Great fun. Shall be taking it to classic bike trackday at Cadwell 9th of July for pre 95 bikes only. Will be in pocket rocket group so any sized two stroke and 4 strokes up to 400 cc. Best lap time I've ever done there is 2 min 02 on my Yamaha rd350lc so aiming on beating that

Easy with a bit of practice. I owned a Laverda Mirage in the 1980's which had the gear lever on the right. Didn't take too long to get used to it. I went to India in 2003 and 2004 and did a couple of tours on Indian built Royal Enfields, also with right foot gear change, and it came back quite quickly.
