good ride, make sure you get the ECU and pipes with it right away. they drive so much nicer with no 02 sensor on them...And you have to have pipes on a desmo twin.  My 07 that i traded on a 999 monoposto.

I'm wanting to do some 2-up riding.  Maybe an early 80's Wing, lightly dressed.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

         Some will say I'm off my rocker, but I'd like to have a Royal Enfield TT Interceptor (about a 66' model , or so) or a Norton Commando or BSA Spitfire Scrambler. I'll NEVER be able to swing any of those, so I'll settle for getting my Super Hawk project going/ getting my CB400F taken care of/ Put the finishing touches on my 80' CB650C AND getting the 77' CB750A dealt with as well.

        In the meantime, as weather permits, I'll ride the CBX & GPZ1100 (although not as much as the CBX).  ;)

A former member of this forum let me ride his ST1300.  Woah, that was nice.  I think a Honda ST1100 or ST1300 would be great.

i think i'm about ready to abuse my wallet and psyche again in the next couple of years, this time i want the commando 750, i had an 850 back in the early 90's i finally decided to do something less painful so i sold the commando and started sticking toothpicks into my eyes  :D

seriously though. i didnt have anywhere near the knowledge about motorcycles and electrics in particular then that i do now.

Brad looks pretty well connected.  Maybe you should drop him a line to see if he knows of any non-restored Laverdas?

My next bike after i finish my 750, and my girlfriends 200t will be a 2 stroke of some sort. An H1 would be awesome, but probably will end up with an RD350 or 400.

I've also had the hankering to build a hardtail 550 bobber after seeing jreich's bike.

Probably just depend on what i find a deal on.

I'm hoping to find a Cb750 450 Twin for my wife. She loves the 69. But i'll go with a a early 70's. I have an extra 65 Black Bomber tank for it. That would make her smile.

In a fantasy world it would be a Bill Mize built Pan/Shovel chopper, el Forasteros style, W/a VL springer, 4 speed, etc.

But in reality, and considering my wallet, probably a shovel chopper in a wishbone frame with a sportster frontend.  I'd like an affordable trad chopper for under $5k.  When the time is right it will materialize.

Until then I'll enjoy riding my CB750 and wrenching on my BSA.

Actually, I have thoughts about my next 2 bikes, but could only vote for one:
A CBX (the year with the touring setup) and an HD Softtail Custom.
Now  1972 CB350FX (experimental v2.0)
        1981 CB650c Custom with '79 engine (wifes)
        1981 CB650 engine
        2004 HD XL883C Custom
        1977 Yamaha XS750D (in progress)
Then 1972 CL175
        1964 Yamaha YGS-1T

I am only tempted by another bike when my bike is not running properly.  When I take time to work on my bike, there is no other bike that I want to ride.

That being said, my next bike will always be a properly running 1975 CB550K. 

Wanting another bike = get off my ass and fix my own bike.
