Very pleased with my '01 S. It would have to be a very, very significant upgrade for me to consider selling or trading my S.

And if there is no new S, I wouldn't mind having an orphaned bike at all.

Cool If no "S"

An MGS/1 Guzzi would be nice.

But have you seen the price tag!

I'd expect a week with a trio of eager top italian lingerie models thrown in as well for what Guzzi want for this peice of two wheeled stimulation.

I think I would go with the Ducati Multstrada. Nice bike that can do a lot!!!! For speed, I'll be interested in the new Honda Superbike scheduled for 04. Especially if (I doubt it very seriously) it is a V-5 like Val Rossi's machine.

I'd go with the next Futura...the one with the 1,200cc motor and proper non-Buck Rogers styling.

If it doesn't have the "Buck Rogers" futuristic styling...could you still call it the Futura?

Well, it's still a better name than, say, Celica, Camry, Altima, or (cringe) Montauk. Which by the way is a very nice looking version of what I think is the nicest looking BMW ever. Just not my type of ride...or name. Montauk? I'm sure the Hamptons feel slighted.

Yeah...Montauk...what were they thinking; it's almost as bad as the dyslexic Japanese with their V Strom...

Don't know what they were thinking, but at least Montauk is a name with a meaning...and it is spelled right.

Worst automotive name ever: Ford Probe. Decent car which I actually considered buying once upon a time, but Probe!!!???? I don't even need to knock this one down a level, because it is already there.

Yeah, I'd hate to get rear ended by a Probe!

Car names are Funny!!

My ********* puckers every time I see the name "Dodge Ram".

Does that mean they will try to "Dodge" then "Ram" or get out of the way or you will be Ramned?

Scary stuff!!
