Yeah, he did have one, a 906 IIRC - that's a while back now!

There’s an NTV parked in the market last few weeks - I’m tempted to check it’s ULEZ status .
For me …..R1100rt (Prefer the shape)

Even the marketing photos are ashamed of it.

One day BMW brought 6 bikes for us instructors to play on.
That was the most fun.

That paint job does well to hide the ugly. The solid colour ones are a little more challenged.

Hired one when I did my 8000 mile tour of NZ. Liked it as comfortable all day long, and suited the 100 kph blanket speed limit.

My choice would be a 1970's Honda CD175, in blue.

I already own a couple of "embarrassing" bikes, so one more won't have any less effect on my street cred

Thinking about it, there is one guilty secret bike that I sometimes do a picture search for after a few beers only to delete my history next morning before anyone finds out I'm a dirty dirty boy.
Not sure I really want to come out of the closet with this one but I've had a couple of drinks and am in the mod for it.
Gentlemen and gentle men, I bring to you the Harley Davidson VR1000.

Actually I'm not even joking about these, I kind of like em despite they have the looks of a melted welly.

I love the VR1000! Just for the sheer incongruity.
