Lets say there was a motorcycle virus, and all the airheads disappeared. What would you ride?

Are you talking about BMW airheads?
This one is, technically an airhead.
Since I like them [BMW airheads], you know I like quirky, so, Yamaha XV920 RH
Besides the enclosed chain (I would rather have the shaft drive the Euros got), I really like the little storage compartment in the rear.
Centerstand, too! But of course, this was 1981...

That's an interesting choice. Only a BMW can be an "Airhead," just as a "Panhead" is a Harley. An enclosed chain drive should really be the best drive system. My first bike a Puch had an enclosed drive chain.

Guzzi. I've always liked those 1100 sports from the early 90's.

Daytona 675. Not that I've ever ridden one.

I'd ride a 2012 BMW R1200GS

Yea Guzzis are an obvious choice for Airhead riders. Had one myself.

Toss between...
• Suzuki SV650 "V-Strom"
• Triumph 3-cylinder ~1000cc (most probably an ST)
• BMW Oilhead or Hexhead GS
Nothing Italian. No K bikes. No 4-cylinder anything. No Harley or Buell. I highly prefer European twins, 900-1000cc.
