If you had a choice of a project bike to strip and rebuild in the garage what would you buy ?
I fancy a 998s but don't actually like twins to ride but without doubt they are a beautiful timeless classic

I'd love an old Triumph/Norton/BSA. Proper old-fashioned oil dripper.

998 was the bike of my childhood so I would definitely choose that.
A friend in the street I grew up in had a motorcycle book and we would each flick through the pages, choose a bike then ride around on our push bikes pretending to be that bike. I always chose the 998... best childhood memories I had.

Something fairly simple.
Air cooled Ducati - 900SS or early Monster
Parallel twin Triumph
but top of my list would be a Moto Guzzi.

Something without fairings...or at best just minimal bodywork. It'd be a shame to spend a load of time & money on something then cover it in plastic-wrap.
Thruxton is a good choice.
