If you could take a MotoGP motorcycle for a ride, where would you go?

Plus its all a straight line from Barry's house to the corner shop.

Well then, he could also alternatively ride the 2015 RCV too. Straight and no brakes and all.

Speaking of straights and not so straight, a bit of good news for Migs.

He wouldn't need to - after all, the RCV rides itself doesn't it?

You're confused. Thats the GP07 you speak of. The RCV15, though a turd, requires at least one hand to ride. No remotes, shackles ok.

Mike Hailwood's MV Agusta got to be at Spa.
Alternatively Nurburgring which I did on my old Blackbird in 2002

What you guys are forgetting is that every one of these bikes needs a team of engineers just to ride it. I would choose the GP 08. It does not require engineers. The rider can make all the adjustments on the go. Ive heard from numerous Stoner fans who say Duc engineers designed it with rock wall handholds on the fairing so Casey could rappel down, crawl around the fairing and make adjustments to sensors and falling off parts during a race. That sounds like a blast

Another GP bike I'd like to take for a spin is Nicky's RCV-RS. Like Barry, I would take it to the corner food market and go grocery shopping. This would also give me a good idea if I should start saving the $200,000 for the 100 horse power Honda GP replica. What do you think #22 or Lex, good idea?

So you can crash AND burn?! (In no particular order!)

You must bore easily.

RC166 or 174
Solitude

Its orange and black, no not a tiger Barry, it says RC211V on the side and currently sits in a Kentucky barn giving the proverbial middle finger to HRC. It was the best and the last of the pre nanny era. Honda execs must have been laughing their ..... off when Nicky signed his last contract. "Siwwy americon thinka he will wina champeenchip. Hahaha. He will neba own one of our bikes. Maybe afa we a crush it and wecycle it, we sell it backa to him as aluminum siding for his chicken coop"
Honda never intended for him or anyone else to ever own a GP bike.
I would take that beauty and ride it in an endless circles around Honda HQ.
The other bike I would ride would be the .... green Kwakker fm 2006. That way I could ride and jerk off to that oh so sweet banshee wail

Softcocking it but ................

Any of the four stroke era bikes (as much as I would love the Doohan Screamer or Rainey's YZR I simple would crash it just letting the clutch out)

As for the track ..........Bathurst (Mount Panorama) ......... the sounds of the bike bouncing off the concrete would have Tiny doing cartwheels

I thought much the same. Theres hardly a chance where I wouldnt be lying on my back wondering how I got there with a 2 stroke 500. Way too unpredictable and volatile for mere mortals. I'll stick to diesels

Which is why, over any 500, I really want a go on a well sorted 250GP.
Nakano or Jacques year 2000 YZR250 would do nicely.

You may well recall, a couple of years back, there was a chap on here called BJ.C that claimed to have a fantasy garage full of them.

Not to mention he also had a camera collection that would make the Smithsonian envy. What ever happened with that bloke? Last I remember he had to catch a plane to some remote disaster crisis to offer his assistance.

Wait wait, no that was MT1960....or was that KiddyK? Crap now I can't remember.

Or Zootalaws - medical relief in Tacloban City...he was a Doctor, no?

A Dr.? No... I don't think he was one. But i can't remember exactly. If anyone here can help me sort this memory, I'd appreciate it.

Carry on

That was KiddyK.
Jetting out to help Red Cross and didn't even get shots before (ostensibly) going to a disaster area.
But keep going, guys, using Typhoon Yolanda for cheap shots is really endearing.
Top work.

Ah yes, Dr. Know. Only you would remember. Well done. That was hilarious.

As you may well recall, KiddyK had also invented the Internet. Apart from a t-shirt printing business.

Nah man, I think we're ok taking cheap shots on a bloke who posed as someone else, "using the typhoon" to fool us, no?
