What would your second bike be?

The Muti is one of the most underrated fun bikes on the road. With the abs and traction control combined with the handling also makes it one of the safest feeling bikes around. I miss mine but I am happier with having momma come along for the ride and being able to wrench on my bike. The Ducati was not friendly for that.

I bought into the purple Kool-Aid i.e. HD following years ago and have been riding a Sportster for going on 7 years now. I started hard core riding in the late 70s early 80s. I spent tons of miles on Yamaha YJ-650s and 1100s and rocked the dirt with my Honda Elsinore 500. I remember when the Kawasaki inline 6 1300cc was the baddest bike on the road. To straddle it felt like straddling a V8 back in the day. I love the look and sound of my Sportster but in every other aspect it sucks to just about any other rice burner in any element.
After many dollars spent that i wouldn't have had to on a Jap bike off the showroom floor my Sportster is a fairly comfortable ride. With all the money i have in upgrades my 80s rice burner was still faster and a better ride. Id love to have one of those BMW Adventure Sports. They ride better on and off road than any HD touring bike does yet i constantly drool after in a 800+ pound under powered road sled HD calls its ultimate touring line.
So my ultimate bike would be a HD with the power and weight of a Dyna and the ride of a RK.
For the past two years i've had cash on hand to buy any HD touring bike i want but for the life of me i simply can't write the check for a new motorcycle costing over 20k and i'm an impulse buyer.
