Probably a 7point9. I have never even seen one in real life (what you get for living in Ohio) but it seems pretty much perfect, and I have been lusting after one for two or three years now.

Scary $hit if you ask me.:)
That's a glorious machine if you ask me. That thing is simply about the most perfect looking MC ever.

A Titus Exo-Grid Motolite would probably be on top of the list for dream MTBs. Too bad Chris is leaving Titus...

They say it is gonna be all performance built with a desmo 1000
engine placed in that super light bike. Scary $hit if you ask me.:)
I see on the web that spring 2007 is when the Hypermotard will be for sale. Lets just say, it will just be a dream for me.

btw, for those Lefty-C/Dale haters, the rear suspension is a single-side swing arm...

MTBR used to have a "Dream Bike" page (I don't know if they still do).

I built a Turner RFX with some decently burly components and got a phone call from a sales rep at some affiliated bike shop (Speedgoat, maybe?) a couple hours later offering to build it for me... Funny sales gimmick.

The workmanship on that Norton is outstanding. I especially like the puddle of oil on the asphalt. Man that would be a sweet ride.
