If I suddenly found myself well-off, I'd buy a multiple-family house and convert it into a dwelling for semi-nomad biker freaks. It doesn't appear I'm going to suddenly become well-off, though.
I'm threatening to replace my Triumph with a nice, reliable, Honda. The Honda 599 (http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/sport/model.asp?ModelName=599&ModelYear=2006&ModelID=CB600F) is what I think about in the shower. I've also looked at the 500 Shadow cruiser--I'm more of a standard/streetfighter girl, but it looks like a fun, efficient machine, and comfortable for the long haul.
If/when I do Dakar, I'm hoping to do it on a BMW 650 GS (http://bmwmotorcycles.com/machine/models/model.jsp?model=f650gs). It would also be a good urban assault machine, so I can search for justification claim it's practical. Unfortunately, it's also way more expensive than I can justify spending on a thumper.
