always seing posts asking about what bike people should get or getting new bikes and was wondering what you all plan to get next and why as well as when?

im leaning towards either an early R1 or 2005 zx6r towards xmas as my restriction is up and needing more poke on the 400 on straights.

hopefully il have enough cash to get a new bike and keep the rvf but only time will tell.

probobly keep the fzr as a commuter bike.

Something a bit friendlier for day to day stuff to go alongside the SP1. Whatever I spot at a good price when I happen to have the cash spare I suppose, been looking around at TRXs, ZX9s, VFR400s, I wouldn't even mind another Futura really Smile

Not sure exactly what yet, but it will be a big twin - possibly a Buell, Ducati or an Aprilia Thumbs Up

Probably a Litre il4 next year. Although I do fancy a litre twin. Real question is do I keep the R6 for a track bike. Thinking

Hopefully a Triumph Sprint ST, same as what the Bendy has. My B1 is in the for sale section if anyone is looking. Wink

Probably will want to run a second bike alongside the Blade, a good winter bike/commuter.

Aprilia Pegaso/BMW F650 or any single cylinder dual purpose bike.

Having said that, people have commented that i'll probably have more fun on a 600cc supersports but none of them are really that practical.

Hard to say really, as the only gripe I have with the CB500 is that I'd prefer a more upright riding position. I've a thing for shafties, so a Virago 535 is on the list but it has a piss poor tank range. Might be tempted by an LS650 Savage, but finding one in a decent condition with low miles might be a problem. Also toying with getting another Enfield, maybe the 350cc this time. Could be persuaded to go to the dark side and get a scooter; the Burgman 400 appeals to me, as does the Honda Silver Wing, but they may be too pricey.

I'm just as likely to get a CG125, XJ900F, ZZR600, XT350, RD350LC or a Sportster 883. It depends on what turns me off the CB500 when the time comes.

Hi

Not sure. I keep changing my mind.

In some ways I quite fancy an early GSXR1000, but not sure that is a good idea for road use!

Also tempted with a 'busa or a ZX12R. More likely would be an SB6R.

However also fancy a blue TZR125 to match the YSR50 and the TZR250.

All the best

Keith

Bandit 1250 / XJR / ZRX

Either will do me nicely. Bah, dream on, got my current bike for at least another 2 years.

Is it free because there's no price that I can see? Wink Unless I'm having a blonde moment?

Either a RC30 or an OW01. New bikes just lack something.

I have no idea really, I've not really thought about a new bike for over a year now due to being so stoked on the ZRX although I have been thinking about a second bike to compliment my ZRX, probably a trailie of some sort. Ideally it would be 400cc+ and have 2 pairs of wheels for off and on road riding.

Most likely thing to happen though is I'll get a car licence and end up tuning the ZRX Twisted Evil
