Which 500cc/MotoGP Motorcycle in Your Living Room?

Suter 500, because when it's not in the living room I could be riding it on the track, getting spare parts for it, and keeping it fresh. And in the rainy/snowy season it could be in the living room, with the engine separate.

The late '80's Honda NSR500 was the most exciting. Brutal power and ill handling...hang on, son!

Rossi's 2013 test bike (pre Monster logos)... love the color/design

Also the matching helmet, this is probably the first "replica" helmet I wouldn't mind owning... I like other designs, but this one and the Marco tribute helmet are my 2 favorites...

^^^ Rossi's Black test bike. Hands down best looking. I'll take it

Getting serious consideration would be:
A Simoncelli bike - though I have nothing for Gresini (not that I'm anti just as a brand they are not on my radar and the looks are very blah)

Stoners white Honda - but it's a quitter's bike so there is that... and while I enjoy the company of an occassional Australian not sure I want to fly that flag.

And for the old school in me what could be better than Hailwoods RC162?

Actually this one just edged out Rossi's test bike - if its just for show I'm going with the proper museum piece.
