I think I would like to own them all. I know its a cop out answer but I would really like to try them all. There are so many and each has a different purpose and style. Thats if money where no object.

A Britten V1000 or V1100, never to be ridden. To me, it's a gorgeous bike, awesome design and engineering and a great, but tragic story from it's inception to the death of John Britten. It'd go in a museum if I had one... Most are there already. So many great concepts in that bike, imagine if Erik and John were able to design a bike together...

On second thought, if money isn't an object, I would have Erik himself build me something.

I second the Britten and the Bimota
I would love to have also:
Honda NR750

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this awful/wonderful thing:
http://www.marineturbine.com/motorsports.asp

I'd also like a slew of old cheap fast jap bikes like Rd350, H2, GPz750turbo

The cool thing about the Britten was that it was designed, more or less, from the ground up by John Britten. Engine, suspension, everything. There is a phenominal book written by Felicity Price about Britten. Little things like the exhaust, with each outlet being the same length, a very unique carbon fiber wishbone suspension system, stressed carbon fiber engine/frame components, Britten designed engine etc. Only 10 of the V1000 were ever made.

If I were to win a (BIG) loto tomorrow, I'd spend the rest of my days searching for and buying neat cars and bikes. The bikes high on my list would be:

Buell XBRR (signed by Erik)

XBRR "parts bike" built on a street legal frame (PERFECT bike to silence all the Jap riding squids)

HD VR1000 race bike

Ducati ST-3 (or 4)
Ducati 999R

Several historic older road race bikes (1000cc Superbikes, "evil" TZ750, etc)

At least one modern MotoGP bike (like Nicky Hayden's Honda when he wins this year's championship)

Britten race bike (VERY hard to aquire)

Probably a few naked bikes from Ducati, MV and etc, but so many of them are so damned ugly !!!

Custom chopper ???, Nah, it would be an embarasment to all the bikes above !!!

Old school picks, not necessarily in my order of preference:

Any mid 70's Ducati SS or Darmah or 750/864 GT.

Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans.

Laverda 750 SFC or 1000 Jota.

HD XLCR 1000, Willie G. should have pursued this one further but Eric Buell picked up the tab...

Krauser/BMW MKM 1000.

76 Suzuki RE5 Rotary. Just because.

MV Agusta 750S America, if you've ever seen and heard one you'll never forget its total mechanical symphony!

Any original HD FLH Panhead.

I'm sure there are more.

If money were no object, I'd simply get a few little details right on my R, like boosting fuel cap by 3 gal and adding mounts for big Krausers. Yeah, that'd pretty much do it for me.
