Well, whilst the real walnut 'dash' may (even for me) be a bridge too far, this shaft driven V8 Morbidelli definitely pushes most of my buttons. I think there were only 3 made so the chance of ever hearing it running are, sadly, slimmer than a slim thing.

I'm really lusting after the last of the longitudinal Ks - the K1200RS and K1200GT - right now.
But at nearly 300kgs unladen, I suspect I won't be buying one.

If you are lusting after a v8 what about the Drysdale v8?

Those old engines really are works of art.. Love the tiny carbs on some of them...definitely too many bikes to get in one life time.

Arrrhhhh - a good supply of Scratch - my kingdom for a good supply of "Scratch"
A mate reckons he knows of a warehouse full of boxes of the stuff but he won't tell me its where-about's.
Just know I could come up with an anti-gravity machine if he would ...

If we're talking 'secret' desires then i'd like this...
If it's actual 'I really want one of these', then it's these two.

I'd get a test ride if I were you Steve, they really carry their weight well. A riding mate of mine had one and it felt fine, and went very well too

i saw one of these in a dealers once awaiting it's new owner. didn't do it for me. that rear end is an abomination, the silver cap on the tank doesn't work and the mirrors don't gel with the fairing. whole thing looks like a bloke built it in his shed.
