What would it be? I like sport touring bikes so I would get a new Ducati Multistrada. Fast,handles well and you can ride it all day without your ass falling asleep and feeling like you lost a fight.
 I really like it in black.  What would you guys have if you could chose only 1 bike? |

BMW F800GSA.
I bought mine new, 2015, in desert tan. It tours, does some decent off roading, great range, acceptable handling for mountain roads. All around excellent bike, not sure I would have preferred the 1200 at this point. |

I recently bought a Yamaha FJR, surprising to me how quick it is, 0-60 in less than 3 seconds and its heavy. I would describe it as a cruze missile. Ducati's are hella cool, but the reliability and parts puts me off, too exotic. I am all about reliability.

Handlebars are axe-handle wide, and it looks like it would be a SOB to handle on anything other than gravel roads. I, too, am leaning toward the F800 as my next bike. Edit...I mean look at this fat pig from the front.

I have a plated dirt bike and a mid size sport/touring bike, but do most of my riding in town for commuting and running errands.
I keep thinking of selling them both and getting a KTM Duke 390. |

Of those 2 my BMW is the most capable and versatile. I tested an 800GS but it had nowhere near the torque of the 1200 so I passed, it is much lighter but once your rolling it doesn't make much difference. The R1200GSA is too tall for me, it must be made for 6'7" Germans with 40 inch inseams. |

The MTS is nice but the S1000XR is amazing. Test rode both recently (like a couple weeks ago) before I bought my new R1200RS. May still end up getting one.

Faced with that exact dilemma last year, I chose the DL650. I don't know that there's any bike that's more versatile & reliable, and gives you more bang for the buck.
It's done some pretty crappy trails, long highway trips, back roads and 2-up cruising and just keeps on getting it done. Everything else is either biased one way or the other more than my liking, or more expensive, or fickle. I've had a garage full of bikes at various points, but I can't keep more than one right now, and the Wee does everything I ask it to and I'm willing to test those limits. |

The one I already have: Kawasaki Concours C14. It's equally at home droning along the interstates two-up, having fun in the twisties, or anything in-between. Engine is a beast that can do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds but delivers power smoothly across the rev range and doesn't take off without provocation. I can't think of much it can't do, and do well, except for off-road.

Oh, man, tough decision. Assuming we're talking about bikes I can actually afford, the Indian Scout or the Ducati Scrambler would at the top of my list.
But that list also includes a Star Bolt C, Harley 48, Triumph Thruxton, Ducati Monster, even the Honda CTX700. I guess I'm too old for sportbikes. |
