If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?

I'll go first:

  1. Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
  2. Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
  3. Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)

I feel like it'd be something like:

  1. KTM Adv 790
  2. Zero DSR
  3. Cake Osa+

Something for offroad motocamp trips. Something electric for daily comute and runabout. And an electric grocery getter - which tbh should probs be an ebike so I could ride on bike paths etc, but I'll keep my answer more moto related.

I say a class 1-3 E-Bike is not a motorcycle, but something like a Surron is a motorcycle.

Yeah, I'd be getting a lower class ebike coz in Australia basically an ebike has to be 250w or less and pedal assist or it falls into a grey/illegal area. I can't be arsed with running an illegal bike - even if I might never get caught/questioned.
