If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?

I’ll go first:

  1. Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
  2. Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
  3. Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)

    I can’t even imagine what 145hp is supposed to feel like.

    Feels like heaven. Upgraded from a Ninja 650 to a GSXR 750 last year. Over double the hp. Can stay in 2nd gear on the FREEWAY.

      I’ve heard of bikes that will exceed every US freeway speed limit in first. That’s crazy. For comparison, here are the redline speeds in each gear on my GZ250:

      1. 25mph
      2. 39mph
      3. 53mph
      4. 66mph
      5. 85mph

      That’s right, I must be in top gear to keep up with traffic on my GZ250.

      But your GSX-R can pull so much harder in any gear.
