What bike do you see yourself with realistically? Do you have a plan? or do you stumble accross something and just have it?

Not sure myself, theres a couple i'm pondering, it'll come down to how much time is available for playing, rideing because I want to more over because I have to, will probably keep current bike (worth much more as a spare than it would fetch) theres also going to be a need to extend the garage Shocked

Hoping to get a nearly new ural and sidecar (although some intense test rideing will have to happen first) maybe later swap the main bike for an old pan euro if a cheap one comes up.. allways wanted more than one bike, luckly there not allot of space so its not going to become a kickstartish sized collection Laughing(couldn't cope with the choices!)

Next year I want an SV650S (must be 03' or later - aka. a pointy!) and then some lower fairings and crash bungs for it. Maybe a hugger too. But of course I have to pass my test first!

Thumbs Up .

Also preferably in blue, but I wouldn't mind any colour right now! (125cc single cylinder 11bhp engine gets old very fast Laughing ).

Hopefully with an SRAD, possibly a 750, we'll have to see how things pan out. Confused

Wouldn't mind getting a more powerful aircooled 70s jap, perhaps to stick a sidecar on. A GS850 would be just perfect for the job.

Realistically? I'll probably just end up making more alterations to my current bike. Though I also have the dilemma of whether to 'rat' my honda bros or tidy it up and have it as a 'shiny' bike.

im just waiting for a decent priced super moto to buy, lol.

I have been and still am considering one of these BMW Dakar 650's after having looked at one earlier this year when Nick got his GS. Just thought it would be a change to the norm that you see on the roads here, and yes naturally I do like them. Have seen a brand newie KTM Dakar last wk parked up in town but didnt look as nice IMO. Wont be til next year now, if I had the income to back it I would keep the hornet too but no chance of that :

An NC30.

Not sure what I'll have as a second bike; possibly a small capacity crosser.

Well my restrictions up in September so the GS500F will be derestricted. Considering either a thundercat, CBR600F or ER6F - problem is I want to keep the 500 for commuting so not sure how this will work as lack of garage space.

Hubbie wants a GSXR600 in the spring so maybe he will sell the Fazer and swap to one of my choices above for us to share.

Roll on spring!

When doing my DAS I always looked towards a CBR600F.
Would also love a GSXR600 or 750... but will have to wait until my experience, confidence and finances are up to the task.

Currently riding a GPZ500S - a bit of a winter hack, but it does everything I want at the moment, and I'm using it to build up my no claims on the insurance. Although, it was cheap enough that if I happen to drop it I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it.

I'll still be racking the miles up on the Blade, but it will have a full strip down in a few weeks time so it will *feel* like a new(er) bike Mr. Green

Cheers

I would like to get a newer bike like a GSXR 750 but realistically I'll keep my current bike and save up for another trip aboard.

Depends how business goes.

If it goes right in one direction, Daytona 675.

If it goes right in a slightly different direction, Speed Triple.

If it goes extremely right in all directions, sod a new bike, I'm buying a Caterham 7. Smile

The problem is that no one bike will do everything. I've got a 2005 Blade that I love to bits but quite fancy something a bit more upright for commuting & touring. Am waiting to see what the BMW800GS is like - although my husband is trying to persuade me to get a Harley. Hmmm decisions Question Decisions Question

With any luck I'll have a hack/commuter tool in addition to the TRX. I'm thinking of a CB500 or Hornet, or something like that - cheap and bulletproof. Thumbs Up

Going to keep the ZZR-600 for a while, then probably going to get the 1200 new style in a year or few... Smile
