I used to want a Ducati Hypermotard, but I think I'm leaning more towards a KTM Super Duke now. A Ducati 1199 would be legit as well, but I think with my riding style the Super Duke is going to be my dream bike.
I've been wanting to get an adventure/touring bike here recently (BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada, etc) but the Super Duke 1290 will probably be my next addition once I can convince the significant other that I NEED another bike. Although she is wanting to get herself a bike as well so we shall see what comes first.
Either a Daytona 675 or a Ducati Panigale 899/959.
I plan to buy one or the other next season. The Daytona is winning because I had a Street Triple and to me, the engine in that bike was perfect. But I also used to have a 636 and I really liked the supersport. So the obvious solution is....get the supersport that has the 675 engine!
But the Panigale just looks...so...good....
Only thing that might keep me away from that is that I own a Duc currently, and it's a pain going to the nearest dealer. There's a Triumph dealer in town, 20 minutes from my house.

Yep. For me to pick just one dream bike is difficult. Many are attractive for different reasons. So I am going to list three I want to own.
First my current bike, despite its flaws, is pretty dang impressive. 2014 FLHTK from Harley Davidson. The amber whiskey and black plays to the blacked out front end and pipes. The radio with CB, GPS, and Bluetooth allows me to get lost without losing my mind.
Second is a dream bike, the 1999-2000 Indian Chief. Yes, it is an Evo clone powered beach cruiser, but the retro style just drips with bad ass like if you saw a young Elvis and James Dean hanging out at the bar checking out the chicks. You know there may be trouble . . . or not.
Then there is another dream bike, the Honda GL1800. Hidden under that touring facade lives a sport bike on steroids just waiting to carve some canyon a new one. Then it can ride the few hundred miles back home in comfort.
I 100% dig your style, man.
I like the James Dean and Elvis metaphor and totally buy it. Imagine hanging out at a bar with those guys too!
Also, post more pictures of the FLHTK, I'd like to see more. You got a link to your channel?
Have you tried the new milwaukee-8 yet? I'd love to hear what you have to say about it.

On my second video of yours and so far, I like your style. So I have subscribed. You are on point about the appeal of sharing your riding experience through motovlogging with a global community!
That is what I like about this forum.
Now back to your series. And back to polishing this pesky pinlock.
Haha those are pretty rad. My friend's dad has one that he got restored. I need to take a photo of it next time I'm over there.

If i'm correct, they are getting produced in the UK again!
Harleys are made in india now too, or even, the components are sourced from there and then put together in america...
