Add in some Ally panniers, heated grips and integrated twat nav and the rest can go on tyres, fuel and far away trackdays

Oh go on then. If we can get a discount for 2 of them it'll leave a bit more in the kitty. :thumbup:

Either a Rocket 3 or a Wing. I'd have to add some extras to the Triumph to meet the £25k minimum, but I suspect that wouldn't be difficult.

A full Superstock GSXR1000. :)

Much nicer to ride than the BSB version but with all the best available :)

Ah, the dilemma of the unlimited wallet....

20 years ago it would have been a ZXR400 with a ZZR600 engine shoehorned into it. (Or possibly a Ducati twin...)

Now, pretty sure i could get a Monotracer for that kind of money.

No, you want a Super Carry not a Hijet, so you can bling it up with Yoshimura parts.

They haven't built a bike yet that I'd want to spend anywhere near that amount of money on. I feel i'm missing out on this excitement sometimes...

We aren't a million miles off £25k being a regular price for a bike.

You'll need the living room enlarging, then there's the cost of the plinth and the optional bulletproof glass cover. That should take up the £16k you've got spare over the purchase price...

The Dragster is such a better riding position for the street than the Brutal or the race rep style bikes.
I wasn't riding it :D

I Have always hankered after a Norvin but we're ten K light on the money and Im sure the riding experience would be a total let down I just couldnt in all truth set fire to that much for a cartoon or a motorbike it would have to be a, "you have won one" senario
