There are also a few more toys I would like in there too room and finances pending.

Mick Doohan's RC30 SBK he rode here in OZ.
A Cagiva 500 GP bike........mmmmmmmmm.
A road going RC30
A Kawasaki 750 Triple...............Still get tingles up my spine over this one. It;'s one hairy mother F. muddaboik!

The 1996 ZX7R Muzzy bike that Gobert Hosed everyone with at the Island that year.
And a full dress tourer like a BMW K1200LT as an interstate bike!

aaah another who likes 2stroke triples

Strika
I had the famous Kwak 500cc triple but when it came time to upgrade
I thought the Suzi 750 'bottle' had it all over the Kwaka version
so I bought one of those 'murderous' mudderbykes
in fact
the Kwaka 500 triple was better than the larger 750cc version
...imho of course
and thats why I want anuvver one in my garage

cheers

Recent perusals thru classic bike mags is demonstrating a resurgence in those two stroke triples. The 750 has been sought after for some time, and now the 500's are really good property. The 350's have not yet peaked, so they would be a great option as a restorer. However, the 500 and 750 still give me those tingles, and If one came my way at the right money, I would grab it with both of my grubby little hands!!!

But that Cagiva 500 would be a definate for the odd occasional track day when a motor rebuild was affordable

Imagine lapping the Island on that little red Rocket!!!

I remember riding a SBK in 1996 ( a full local factory jobbie) and that put out prolly 140-150 at the wheel and would wheelspin onto the straight!! Imagine what that peaky little red Cagiva would do........Bahahahaha! I don't reckon I would stop laughing for a week!!

Lots of dirt, Leaves, a few carpet & u'lay offcuts to add comfort to my butt on the concrete...

I'd want a mix of 2 and 4 strokes
2 strokes, a triple with performance chambers, a gp rep and a motox
4 strokes, a mighty zxr1200 with a few upgrades, a K1200GT for the long rides with the girl and a R1200GS for the trip up to Lake Eyre or along the Gunbarrel Hwy

if i could swap/trade the rm for a klx400 and the zeph for a zrx11/12 that would do me.

although a zxr750r track bike - robbie phillis's TKA bike from 94 would do nicely
