    RC30 for me.

    Maybe if I ever win enough money I'll buy an immaculate one and mount
    it on the front room wall, and have another two in the garage for road
    and track use.

    I prefer the Black Prince, but its a matter of personal taste.
    I let one slip through my fingers in Joburg in the late 70s at a
    stupidly low price of R3600 by todays inflated standards.
    Around 1700 quid at the then current exchange rate, it was
    just another SOB that few people would want..

    20/20 hindsight ........

    I'll have to agree with you there, and they rode beautifully as well.

    Gorgeous, one and all.

    I wouldn't say no to a Bimota Tesi 3D. Looks like an evil preying
    mantis.

    I normally don't like the old Brit stuff but they have one of his bikes at
    the Imperial War Museum and I was impressed.

    Pay me enough and I'll sell you mine. I'll even help mount it on your
    wall.

    I'm a fan of the Vincent, but I have to say that BSA that looks a cleaner
    design than the picture of the Vinnie that's in this thread.
    It's nice, but that photo makes it look as though the tail piece & tank
    have been dented.

    Another nice design for consideration: Sunbeam S8.

    Really, there are lots of nice designs about, whether dressed, naked or
    merely wearing a bikini. I ain't fussy. I once even lusted after a Ducati
    906 Paso.

    Buell Lightning XB. Yeah I know, not everyones cup of tea, but it just
    looked like it was caged.

    Maybe I have a thing for shot stumpy objects :-(

    Well, if we're talking Guzzis, V11 (in that bright green), or better yet
    the 1100 Sport or Daytona in red. Just possibly beating those though, the
    MGS-01.

    The new V7 Classic in white looks quite pretty, in a gurl's bike sort of
    way.

    I'm guessing that your wife/girlfriend doesn't read UKRM.

    If I had a collection of bikes I'd have to have one of these in the
    front row

    http://www.bikeexif.com/velocette-venom-thruxton

    Any bike that has to have the fuel tank cut away to fit a bigger carb is
    going to be popular with me and the bell mouth on the carb would
    probably swallow a small dog if it got too close.
