4 years ago a Spyder used to be my dream bike as I thought back in 2008 looking at one "hmmmm...maybe some day."

Well, now I have a new bike that I look at and say "hmmm...maybe some day" and I was just wondering if anyone else had dream bike. Here is mine. Not sure if many of you know Exile Cycles, but I think his bikes are amazing!

I have a mag. metallic (a.k.a. Grey) RT. My dream would be the new Lava Bronze Limited w-trailer. I would have Pete from Power Sports Wraps do a wrap for me in copper, gold and bronze leaves. THAT would be my dream!!!:clap:

An RS that gets 100 mpg. :ohyea:

Seriously though, I love my spyder. It IS my dream bike. But if I hit the lottery I'd add an RT, a Valkyrie and a flat black HD V Rod.

Oh, a GG Taurus too!

I am now feeling that I have just purchased my last bike. The 2011 RT-A&C. I used to go GaGa over the latest whizbang bikes and have bought many of those on impulse over the years. I used to get 4 different motorcycle magazines and read them cover to cover each month.

Now that I am getting near the retirement age, my priorities have somewhat changed. I finally traded off my last two-wheeler for the RT mentioned above. Leg and stability issues were making me afraid of dropping it at the wrong place/wrong time. I am very happy the :spyder2: is a great alternative that allows one to keep riding. Now that I am on my fourth :spyder2:, I am kind of thinking the party is over as far as more new :spyder2:'s are concerned. Not sure how many more years I will be able to work--and have to save something for the retirement.

Bottom line: I no longer have a dream bike that I must have and am quite happy with what I have.

I suppose a fully restored and functional Honda Pacific Coast. In red, of course.

The Pacific Coast is a beautiful bike. We had one ride with our GWRA group last month. It was my first look at that model. And yes, it looked pretty good.

Maybe an RT limited...

1989 GB 500 (Had one!)
1978 KZ 1000 Turbo

How about a Spyder UNlimited in any color I want, with an engine that can get down the road comfortably at 70 to 80 mph, at about 2500 to 3000 rpm, and a range of 300 to 400 miles?

Funny John, funny. But that would be nice. For me, Victory Vision.

I used to think my dream bike was a Piaggio MP3, but then I thought, "I'd never pay 7K for something like that."

I didn't... I paid 24K for an RT-S, instead! :yikes:

So, I AM actually riding my dream bike...

Wouldn't mind trying out a T-Rex sometime...

A BMW K1600 powered RT…… but I'd settle for a VRSC powered RT….

Having never ridden a bike in my life, I feel that this is my dream come true. It's such a great feeling to be able to get on that Spyder, and be able to drive it all by myself, having the confidence now that I CAN do it. It really means a lot to me that Bruiser and I can ryde together separately now, and he trusts that I know what I'm doing. The Spyder gives me the freedom to live life to the fullest. I wouldn't have it any other way! :f_spider::f_spider:

A BMW K1600 GTL loaded. But with a very comfortable passenger seat, and much lower seat height. Maybe 2 front wheels, that can lean in curves..............
And a great dealer nearby, and more dealers over the USA.
A guy can dream can't he?

Will you be riding it to your new 20,000 square foot vacation home in Vail? (You might as well go big if you're gonna dream! :thumbup:)

My dream bike is the one I had in 1958. A H D:yes: sportster that we converted over to be a drag bike. It would go:bowdown: 125 MPH in a 1/4 mile. Sure wish I had it today. A lot of memories on that bike.

A Spyder RS that leans, has shaft drive, minimal tupperware, no on-board computer crap and the Ducati Diavel powerplant.

An RT that feels like the GS I had.

Gee, this is a tough one cause the possibilities are endless....I'd like a T-Rex Campagna but it would probly aggravate my back, so I guess I'll just stick with what I got, leave the dreaming to the OG. :thumbup:

Do you think that the V-4 from the Aprilia Tuono would fit my RT-S? :D
