So here's a rhetorical question to while away some of the currently crappy weather on...
We often talk about what the perfect bike is... (hint: It's the FJR, duh!) and there is that running thread about what the sexiest sportbikes are (still seems up for grabs, I think). And then there are those rare dirty bike rider threads that come up occasionally on here... Many of us have other desires than just the one the bike of this forum is focused on.
I've often heard people say that if they could only have one bike it would be... (fill in the blank).
But what about if you could fill up your garage with bikes? What bikes would you want to own to cover all of the types of riding that you participate in?
For the sake of this exercise, and so that nobody strains a brain muscle, let's limit the hypothetical stable to just three bikes, one of which s an FJR, because... well this is the FJR Forum right? So we should all be able to agree that the FJR is one of the three "must have" bikes in the garage. And of course, money is no object.
So, you first name the activity you like, and then the bike you'd want to fulfill that need, like in this example:
2-up Sport-Touring and longer distance vacation rides - Yamaha FJR1300
Solo longer distance Adventure rides - BMW R1150GSA
Serious off road oriented dual sporting - KTM 690 Enduro
The above is just an example. Obviously these are not the bikes already in my stable (I only wish!!) but it does cover the genres of riding that I like, and should give you an idea of the format.
Note that the bikes do not have to be current production (i.e. I'd rather have a nice R1150 than one of the current 1200 GS bikes) and the types of riding are completely up to you!! If you want three sport touring bikes 'cause that's all you like to do... just say so.
So, tell us. What is your perfect stable?
