what would your 2nd bike be?

If I could ever afford to have 2 or even 3 bikes what would I get and why? I think my first choice would be the Suzuki V-Strom 650 because we have so many dirt roads in Vermont and lots of them in the hill country. Even though many are navigable on the Nomad I won't make the decision to attempt them. I have done so on other heavyweight cruisers and ended up in precarious situations where getting turned around on uneven or muddy ground was frustrating. The V-Strom 650 is almost as big as the 1000 which is like a friggin' hoss so it would be a good all-around bike for where I ive and best of all you just hose the dirt and mud off.
My second choice of an additional bike would be a Drifter 1500. I like the styling and would not put a windshield or saddlebags on it. I'd have a studded seat with fringe and would add studded mud flaps. For me it would be a "keep it simple" attention-getting show-bike that I would ride in the warmer weather when I was going to be home before dark (it can get pretty cold up here at night in the summer). It would my fun bike when I wanted to feel the wind on me and get noticed.
