    So obviously we all have our perfect bike, but what would you choose to sit next to the blade in the garage and stop it from getting lonely if money was no object

    would you pick a classic bike from your youth to relive those early days, a full on Moto GP bike or is there that 1 bike that you have always wanted to have but have never had the chance

    This would be my bike of choice as its one of the best handling bikes ever made and for that special sunday afternoon ride i cant think of anything i would rather be on

    so what would you all choose ?

    As I'm anal and won't get the blade out if it's raining or crappy I miss out a lot of riding, so I think the next couple of seasons shall be seeing one of these next to the blade. KTM 990 super duke.

    For me it would have to a Honda SP1/2. Just love the look and sound of them. I would keep it for those special Sunday blasts to the borders and back.

    Problems, problems...

    Jamie and Colin are both right. The SP and the Super Duke are the best second bike.

    Then there's this with the optional Scarlett colour scheme.

    My second bike was my blade but it's now my equal first lol.

    I'm currently eyeing up a track bike and an SM

    Probably a KTM of some sort!

    we all seem to love the Superduke and the RC 8, are we all secret twin admirers :)

    Sorry should not say things that just pop into my head should I, but KTM do seem to make some v nice bikes :)

    I would go along with the SM theme

    although i prefer the smaller 500-700 cc models

    lighter and more GPH (grins per hour)

    Husky - KTM - or even Aprilia SXV (mental)

    You don't need to worry as much as Benn's mum, Jamie.
