what would your 2nd bike be?

I love these fantasy questions where money isn't an object! I would get KLR 650, as it's great to go on and off road whenever necessary (or desired!) I had dual sport bikes when I was growing up, and they were a blast.
I would also like to get a crotch rocket. I have previously owned a Ninja 500 and a Honda CBR600, and they were both a blast. They just aren't practical for riding long distances, which is something I love to do. They are great for tearing around town on. I think I'd maybe opt for another CBR600, as that bike was extremely quick.

I wouldn't mind having a 800 Drifter or a 900 Custom in the stable for around town riding, keep the Nomad for Touring and weekend rides.

Like CaddmannQ, I'd probably get a VN2K.

Third bike would probably be a Vulcan Classic all tricked out with enough chrome to blind yo ass.

Beside my Vulcan Classic, it would be a Nomad . I also have a KLR650 and my son has a XR650L Honda.


Here is a video of a trip to Colorado my son and I took last summer. (Click on the smaller picture to play the video)

Besides the above, I think I would like a XB12XS Buell Ulysses

Wow! It's been over 30 years since I rode in the Rockies. Looks like you had a great trip.

Maybe an SJ1300 or a Concours 14. Something for a little go-fast enjoyment.

I would get either the Vulcan 900 custom or the HD Sportster Roadster with a little work done to whichever.
I bought the Nomad for Two upping with my wife. I would like something else to zip around with when I'm on my own.
