No clue. I guess my parents raised me right.
Naw, I guess I would just get the most logical/useful bike I could if I could get anything. That would be a BMW sport tourer. Comfortable, fast enough, and can be used on long trips. And it's a Beemer, so it's got shaft drive (which most tourers do) and it would last a long time because it's not as high-revving as other bikes, so it requires less work. I guess I really don't care about speed because I'm not one to show off and/or I don't really trust myself going 180mph [actually, I don't trust deer -- we've been in a deer accident with a minivan before going 60, and I can only imagine what 180 would do to me with no protective shell + deer. I mean, that sucker crunched the whole hood in on a van...].
Bottom line, I don't know why I wouldn't want a crotch rocket. I just ... don't I guess. I like Beemers and I like tourers cuz they make sense. Not Goldwing style, but more sporty like that K1200GT.
