Did ya close up on the price tag?
And the Winner IS.... a DKW or eastern sic BLOCK, ?
bmw k1 for me.
I would have a K1 no problems. An iconic bike. But then, I once owned a CX500. I would have one of them again too actually. Here is a picture of me, albeit smaller, shorter and younger me, the bike in question and my girlfriend who just flew over to meet up with me in her vintage plane. I gotta way with the women. I am not sure what that guy in the background is doing to the plane, should have told him to fuck off...
CX500 , known in the UK as "the plastic maggot" way back then.
The first rendition was mechanically suspect to say the least ( very un-Honda at the time)
The later versions were bulletproof reliable for gazillions of miles , most CX 500 ended up as despatch riders mounts until death.
There were shops in London that worked on nothing else , keeping despatch riders mobile."Donor" bikes out the back !
Then came the more recent "café racer" wankfest ( IMO) that removed more CX500's from the roster of originals.
Frankly they were/are even UGLIER if that was possible..
Ugly but I would still own one
