Curious to see what the collective mind of TWT can come up with on this one. Here's how the game is played. Name an unusual/uncommon/rare/or just outright strange motorcycle that you'd like to own and try to give an interesting fact about it/or a reason you'd like to own it.
I'll get the ball rolling with a Mondial Piega 1000. The bike was originally to be powered by a TL1000R engine, but Suzuki backed out of the deal literally weeks before the bikes debut in Milan. Mondial's helping hand lended to Honda decades before came back to Karmically reward them when Honda not only granted them the use of an SP-1 VTR(RC-51) engine for the prototype but agreed to supply engines for the entire production run.
