I guess it rather depends on your definition of perfect and how much of a compromise you're prepared to accept. My VFR is perfect for blatting down to Spain to watch the MotoGP and although it will do track days my GSXR on slicks is so much better...... The DRZ is just about the perfect around town bike and although I can use it for my IAM work the Hornet is so much more flexible and comfortable. The TDR, XR and Matchless are kept for nostalgias sake but are all great fun in small doses, and the SXV is an investment that you just have to ride occasionally to remind yourself how completely bonkers it really is! I will concede however that my SV is just about the best all rounder in the garage although it took a fair bit of tweaking to get it that way.

Look at it like this, if I do the same annual mileage as you do I still only spend the same as you on fuel and servicing (within reason) it's just the MOTs and VELs that are the real extravagance......
