What bikes would you have when you won 185000000euro or 261000000dollar?

[Philippe1985]

Last week someone in the uk won 185million euro. When you hear things like that then it always makes me wonder what I would do when owning such an amount of money. I guess I would buy some bikes. And offcourse a nice garage for them.
Let me think: I'd buy a new fz6(just because I love it), a street triple r(for sporty street riding), a hayabusa(trips through Germany), R6(for track days), aprilia rsv4(for the sound and looks), yamaha fjr(longer trips), Bmw K1600Gt(for the sound and comfort), bmw K1300s(for the trips to Germany, if I want to ride something else then the hayabusa), Yamaha fz8(my common sense part), honda cbx: I would put it in a new developed frame. , Oh, and I'd look for some classic bikes like the bonneville.
And talking about cars: Something small, but powerfull for sporty street driving(backroads). And a comfy cruising car like mercedes C class or something like that. Oh and I always wanted a vw Transporter.
And before I forget: A lot of suits, helmets, boots, gloves...

 

[Jacobien]

Oh yeah!

1) MV Augusta F4
2) Hayabusa
3) R1 (One of each year, starting 2002)
4) R6 (To see what the big deal is)
5) XJR 1300
6) Ducati Paul Smart
7) A second wife, off the books of course

Cars:
1) Honda Jazz

Man, that was fun!

The end

 

[g8anos]

1) Ducati 1098 - best looks imo
2) Haya - the king of the roads
3) Honda XR 650 supermotard - drifting and wheeling
4) BMW 1600 Gt - touring comfort
5) Triumph Daytona - track bike

 

[Anesi]

Fun game Think this would be my list

1: 2007 Honda Fireblade for inspired street riding
2: R6 in race trim for track days
3: Kawa Z1000sx for touring
4: BMW M3 for commuting to work on rainy days
5: a '68 Dodge Challenger Convertible for sundays with the girlfriend

Ah, if only money grew on tress right?

/anesi

Ps: what's the big deal with busas? Sure, they are powerfull but jeez, must be close to the ugliest bikes around - or am I missing something?

 

[Philippe1985]

Well, the form follows function with the busa. So we accept it being ugly.

 

[Anesi]

Well, the form follows function with the busa. So we accept it being ugly.

Hehe fair enough Not for me though. But must admit I have seen some pretty mean looking busa-fighters around the web.

 

[DownrangeFuture]

Umm...

1) A busa with a touring mode
2) the Yamaha V-MAX, for fun times
3) whatever bike the wife wanted
4) and then probably whatever project bikes I could find. I like to tinker with engines.
5) Oh and probably a GSXR-1000 cause the saddle is so comfy for long trips like the busa if I wanted more turning ability... like the dragon.
6) and a R6 for the track and I'd keep my FZ6.
7) some dirt bikes for the kiddos

Cars would probably be another big old truck. Nothing really fun around here to ride (not that, that stops me), so then I could haul all my bikes out to the dragon or something.

I might pick up the ducati monster and diavel, but I dunno. Most of the money would be spent elsewhere I think. Like ensuring that after the payouts stop, I still have money, since there's no way in **** I'm working after I win that. And the wife and I both don't like huge houses. I think we'd be happy with lots of land, a 3-4 bedroom, a nice garage for me, and a nice office-type room for her.

More like what bikes WOULDN'T I buy :rof:

Too many to list, but ALL the limited edition MV's are there - Sennas etc

:rockon:

 

[Sawblade]

I'm set on bikes, but I wouldn't mind a Lotus to slap a turbo on.

 

[Chupacabra]

I like older motorcycles and for that type of money, I'd own the classics first:

1. 1947 Matchless G80

2. 1973 Triumph TR5T

3. 1965 Honda Dream 150 in Red

4. my FZ6

5. MV Agusta F3

6. 1970 MV Agusta 350 to race in vintage class

7. Ducati Hypermotard 1100 evo

8. I'd import a new Suzuki GSR750 from across the pond

9. 1993 Yamaha FZR400

10. BMW K1600GTL

Okay...I'm done

I'd have a Mad Motorcycle Scientists laboratory built complete with on/off road tracks ,and have a crew of the worlds greatest two wheel minds help me create the most Awesome Bikes Ever seen on the Planet !! :BLAA: :rockon: :rockon:

That is until you go out and cut their toes off for not doing a good job!

It's cool though, because you'll be able to buy them prosthetic toes

 

[lonesoldier84]

All of them.

OR !! Build them MOTORCYCLE FEET ! :BLAA: :rockon: :rockon:

 

[ChevyFazer]

two bikes both yamaha a r1 and a super t

 

[kpaul]

What a bunch of children we all are. I really wouldn't be able to control myself, I think. I would just get all of the top of the line liter bikes.

I would build my own race track before buying any of these. With any luck it could be a self-sustaining hobby, and I could invest the rest of the money in a house, my children and their children.

1. Ducati 1198S because I believe it is the pinnacle of form meets function.
2. Ducati Sport because it's fast, understated and I'll look too stupid on the 1198S to ride it around town.
3. BMW S1000RR and Aprilia RSV4R because I want to experience the electronics.
4. Kawi ZX-14 for touring.
5. Every other sport liter bike made (why not, I'm rich?!).
6. Ninjettes for my lady. And an MV F3 for when she graduates.
7. Dirt bikes for a dirt track that I will also build.

I don't think I'd ever be the person on those Lottery Ruined My Life shows. Unless I die on the bikes. In which case I'm not really on it, more like a bunch of videos of me and a series of foreshadowing pictures.

 

[turbid]

just one an R7!

 

[TeacherJoe]

I'd like a dirt bike, and I'd use the money for land to ride it. I mountain bike, and I have a street motorcycle. I'd like to smash those two interests together.

[novaks47]

All of them.

Pretty much the same for me, as they are too many to list, from old to new!

Joe

I'd also build a street track or two for the cars and motorcycles. That'd be a dream come true for me, to have tons of land to just put-put around on my TW200.

Busa's are ugly in stock form, but they actually look pretty good stripped down to a naked bike, especially with a turbo hanging off the front. lol
