If money was really no object I'd like to try a Vyrus.

It's completely impractical but such an interesting design.

I'd have an Xtra Raptor. Don't mind which number. 999 worldwide, all stamped with their own number.
I couldn't find one when I had the money, and got the VRaptor instead.

One of the Ducati sport 1000s, with aftermarket full curvy fairings. Yeah one of the modern replicas (as I am not old enough to remember them first time round) I saw one of these in London about a year before I got my license, and have coveted them ever since. It sounded awesome too.

Like this (http://wakpaper.com/large/Ducati_wallpapers_442.jpg) but with full fairings.

The problem is not buying the bike, but buying somewhere to keep it and (being a ducati) fix it.

Clearly a Bimota Vyrus

Triumph 675 in blue and pearlescent white (it's the pearlescent bit - I'm such a girl!)
Obviously this assumes I get a full licence and some cornering cojones...
I would like a KR3 track bike.

Agostini was my racing hero for many years, so I'd probably pick up an MV Augusta 500cc GP bike, and make it streetable.

F800GS triple black. Yeah yeah I know I can walk into any dealer and buy one, but it's the genetic modifications to make me grow tall enough to ride it that would cost the big bucks.
Same goes for most bikes I like. Even if I won the lottery I'll still be a midget :(

Pah!
For the money is no object bike, you can get a yellow pages and BMW to design and fit automatic stabilisers so at low speed and stopping they deploy to help you get off the bike.
Or like a horse, the suspension can just drop lower for the same effect.

Andy the prototypes had ceramic inserts within the exhausts housing the rear indicators and no mirrors; instead a rear camera and dash monitor, both of which didn't make production

You can't live life with a single bike at any one time!
If I could either keep my two or pick a single one I would keep what I have for sure...
Now...if this is just pick the single most sexiest / awesomeest bike you know of without risk of loosing out on multiple bikes then it would have to be a fully spec'ed up 1290 SD as the OP posted...but then I do love KTMs and that one is a corker! Although they should have a limited edition version styled as the prototype was but with spots!!

This I just love the look of the Vincent Blacklightning, Theres something just SO right with it... Those downpipes are just a thing of beauty, and the rest of the bike ain't too bad either... Could I get a daytime MOT for one?

Yes Please ;)
RC45 I know where there are a few still in the crates awaiting for someone like me to come along and buy it.
