Actually, might as well flounce.
I currently covet a Piaggio MP3 250, after giving up on my electric bicycle plan. But Mrs P says I'm not allowed one.

For the Brough Superior? yes it does look like that.
I mentioned to a mate that I liked them and he said won't get change from £30k ... it seems they have appreciated a lot since they stopped making them.
Years ago I did see them competing in a hill climb, they can be surprisingly fast old things!

- it should be ridden, esp as it will last forever in stock trim. It was achingly jewel like and beautiful.

Yes, nice, I am pretty sure it was an RC30 that first broke the 120mph lap at the Isle of Man.
As to people having motorbikes in their houses rather than riding them. I know one person who has a Moto Guzzi race bike in their living room, a very beautiful single minded machine it is too. Another who has a GSXR1100 mounted on the wall in his living room. Mad!

I lived in East Sheen from my first college days in 1969.
Down the road was the most fabulous motorcycle shop/ workshop.
Geoff Dodkin Motobikes.
The place was full of Velocette and Matchless bikes, some in bits and being worked on.
Fantail pipes
Best bike I had was a Honda 500 Four.
Kick start of course.

Suzuki GS750 1977.
This was my last bike. I bought a crashed wreck from a scrapyard and rebuilt it. Total cost was £500 not including hours. On it I did Lands End to John O'Groats non stop in 14.5 hours on A roads. Rode to France and Spain. All in all it was a fantastic bike for me. Sold it recently to a guy who specialises in Suzuki GS models. Hope it went to a good home.

Vincent Black Shadow. 1000cc V twin.
Another bike I have never ridden. But I will ride one of these before I die, somehow somewhere I will get my chance. I don't need to own one, just take one for a ride that's all.
I see a Vincent parked near the off licence in Liskeard sometimes. I don't know whether it's a Black Shadow or not, but it's a smart and classy machine.
Anyway, I've got a hankering for a 1970s Benelli 900 Sei. Just look at those pipes;

Sadly my eyesight's too poor for one (or any other fast bike tbh) at the moment. Probably needs a nicer / comfier seat too.

Yes, very exotic. I remember seeing them on the road when they came out.
Then of course there were the two Japanese sixes, the Honda CBX1000 which was wide wide wide and then the Kawasaki Z1300 with water cooling.
There was a guy up at a bike meeting point with a CBX1000 modified to be a low rider. When he stopped he just leant the bike over on its engine

Suzuki GSXR1100..
I coveted one of these for many years, never found the cash to buy one though. Perhaps now in my later years I might splash out (perhaps when I have a job) but then I also quite fancy a Suzuki Bandit 1200... choices choices
I fucking love these (and the 750 slabby). One of the all time best motorcycle engines, super tough and tunable. Gorgeously brutal styling too. I was looking for one for six months and all I could find were red and black ones, its just got to be blue and white. There are almost no good ones left...so I bought a fireblade.
