I talk a good talk about what I might get.
99% of the time f-all ever gets done about a new/newer bike.

If and it`s a big if, I get lucky enough to be in the position to change one of my bikes, the bikes on my radar are :

Yamaha FZ 1000
Kawasaki GPZ 900r
MZ ts 250
Suzuki GSX 250

Probably a Daytona 675.

Probably not for several years.




Until then I will still dream.

Something I can realistically take off-road.

Striple 'R' because my bike only needs to be a fun bike. Really prefer them looks wise with the seat cowl fitted and
the rear footpegs removed. So I may very well have to buy a second more comfy 'pillion friendly' bike as well.
Never mind, an old BMW clunker may be in order if I can find a good non ABS/Deactivated one.

Small world I also have FZS600 and also held up myself from any major mods, like changing the suspension or adding quickshifter Very Happy

My next bike will be no sooner than next summer, here is what I fancy so far:

Suzuki GSX-S1000FA
BMW S1000XR

That pretty much is the whole list for now. I hope to add the new Fazer FZ1 when and if Yamaha decides to do it:

I keep thinking about:

Suzuki TS50X
MZ ETZ 250
Yamaha TT600R Belgarda
Yamaha FZR 400RR 3TJ
Yamaha DT175MX
Honda CB400F Superdream
Yamaha TDM850
Yamaha TRX850
Husqvarna WR360

In no order, it would just be whatever crops up at the right time for the right price, I missed out on a local Husky 360 for about 1200 a few months ago. Rolling Eyes

One of two.

Either a 98 R1 4XV White/red

Or

RG500

Hoping it to be the RG no matter how long it takes.

The only bike that I lust after is the Kawasaki ZR250 Balius II/Suzuki GSX250FX. Finding such in The UK is proving to be a challenge.
Locating and purchasing rocking horse shit would probably prove easier.

Think about this quite a bit, but still a bit 'meh' about biking at the moment. Not sure why - speed paranoia I guess.

I could go out and get a daytona 675 or GSXR 750 but I'm not sure it would make me happy, I'm not even decent at cornering as it is on my hornet so probably need to try a n00b trackday at some point next year before I go upgrading to something far too big for my boots.

I don't want to be buying I bike I don't use properly..

Supermoto's keep coming up in my brain as I've always loved them and think it would be useful to 'hone' some skillz in on one before progressing.. including lifting that front wheel yo!

So basically, no idea. Laughing Thumbs Up The hornet is just a do it all bike, for the amount I use a bike I need one with a bit more character (inb4 G)

Old ZX636's appeal but they are getting on abit now.

Not sure if it would be silly to spunk 5k+ on some pristine machine that outweighs my skillset and comes out 30 times a year.

Basically need to do a trackday before anything. Mr. Green Thumbs Up

Trx, vtr, mt03, vfr750, fuck knows. 250 trials. AJP 250 trail. Pampera? TW200. KDX200? MkII CRM. R1Z would rule. Balius? Valve? nc30. Genuinely don't know. Hence I never get anything. Other reason - money.

BMW R1200R
Triumph Explorer


I don't have a garage so options are limited...


R1200R would be as a 2nd bike, so unlikely to happen, wouldn't be used all year round... seems a waste... TE would be as only bike, all year round use.

CB1300S as an alternative to R1200R but all of them seem to be high milers...

The Fazer is not going anywhere, so for me, I'd be considering something as a second bike.

Street Triple is still top of the list for that.
Tuono V2 is one I'd like to try, but don't know that I would keep one for long.

I dunno. More and more, I ask myself this question:

What do you enjoy more; the idea of a different bike, or the idea of exploring new places on the bike you have? And more and more, I get to thinking the answer is the latter of the two. 5 grand or so would see an awful lot of miles pass under the wheels.
I guess the Fazer is already good enough for everything I want in a bike.

I'm really enjoying the Intruder (which has had few things done) so next bike will probably be something in a similar vein (old- cruiser/bobber-y), probably bit more heavily customised.

I may even look at doing more on this one but it's only a 750, would probably want something bigger.

That or a daily beater, but tbh with a little one coming soon all weather everyday biking is losing it's appeal. Smile

Not sure Thinking

I do quite like me Zed and no immediate plans to change it but I do quite like the ducati diavel and also the ducati monster 1200. Street triple would be nice too.

The Daytona trackbike isn't going anywhere. I may supplement it with a sub £1k bargain over the winter that can live outside, unloved for when I want to scratch the itch and ride on the road.

Beats me, everything I've had, I've bought on a whim because it was available fairly locally.

I've been perusing Gumtree quite a bit, so... let's see.... "Honda cr80 rapid bike it has powerbands so very quick starts and stops as it should loads of fun price £550 no test pilots only buy if you under stand the power of this bike collection only "

Sounds oarsum! Whistle

Really, I have no idea. Why close your mind to possibilities?
