>Something like the AAR Alligator but from one of the big 4 with either a 900-1100cc 285 P-twin (and not a detuned POS one, either) or an 800-1000 triple (same story). 65-80 lb-ft and 110-140 hp. Also, give it the front suspension of Robert Horn's recumbent race bike. >Something with 5 cylinders that sounds like either the rc211v or an Audi Sport Quattro Group B rally car. Don't really care about the size, but I'd like it to rev high and still be rideable, so under 150hp and something to the tune of at least 12-13k rpm, if not 15k+, so probably in the 500-750 range. >A new CBX even-firing 6-cylinder(V, inline, VR, IDC as long as even firing with an equal length 6-1 header so it SCREAMS). Same deal as above as far as power and RPM go. >Yamaha R9, but keep the riding position still semi-relaxed like the ole VFR Interceptor before it kicked the bucket. Pump the cams up and give it a little head work so it gets into the 120-135hp range.

Also as a '02 Dayton 955i owner, a bike that has 1800 og miles on it that i love to death, i am with you on Triumph staying with a more proper version rather than the soft thing they just recently used the name on.

Other much needed bikes are: SV1050, HD naked bike with the full 150hp rev max, and a Svartpilen 1301 (or is that 1401 now) so you can experience the glory that is the Super Duke, but without having to pour bleach into your eyes after accidentally looking at it.

My fantasy bike is easy; prioritize the following, in this order... 1. low price 2. simplicity and reliability (to me, they equate) 3. all weather usability in daily usage. Usage criteria; one up top speed of 80 mph- continuous running at 65, 0-60 in under 8 seconds, 200 mile tank size, designed to carry the equivalent of six full paper grocery bags in a manner that doesn't disrupt basic handling dynamics, gvwr of 400lbs. above the cycles own (wet) weight, and have it in a form designed to allow for easy owner maintenance AND repair.

[@Kittenquest]

Is the Ninja 500 still appropriate for new riders? I'm trying to save and get a bike before the season here ends. I'm curious about your opinion.

This is actually a pretty solid list, especially the XSR-1, WR500 and Eliminator H2…these seem like such obvious models to make. I would add another bike (or range of bikes)…the HD Bronx and/or the other Rev Max bikes that were teased. That engine deserves more sporty models to be placed in.

I cracked the bottom of my clutch cover on my WR250R and ran it with low oil for maybe 5-10 miles. Still not sure if it's okay or not. Was fantasizing with swapping it with a DR650 engine if it does blow up, but a 500cc would be nicer. Especially if it was a balanced 2 stroke, fuel injected with maybe 40 or 35mpg. I think someone built a 2T YZ500 that has basically no vibration?

[@rathion2853]

The new Hypermotard 698 weighs like 360lbs full of fuel. If Ducati beefs it up a little, puts on some tubeless spoked wheels, a windscreen and made a sub 400lb Enduro/Rally thing I would race to the dealership.

I'm going to chime in here... I wish Suzuki would put a 400 in a V-Strom. the Dual sport isn't my thing, and the 250 SX is a touch under powered. having an in between version, means not as heavy as the 650, but not as slow as the 250. The Gixxer 150 and 250 (same chassis and equipment, just different engines) are too small physically for someone in the 6' to 6'3" range that the V-Strom is perfect for, but the styling of the Naked version looks much better than the V-Strom so if THAT styling was on a V-strom 400, then that would be perfect for me!
