Re: Are you set in your ways or do you flit about in manufacturers, styles, types ?

I'm feeling a bit of a traitor, me, because after having seven Triumphs one after another my current bike is a BMW F800R. I love riding it, it's light, handles really well and is extremely economical, but every time I open the garage door, I look at it and think ............ it's got the wrong badge.

Re: What are you riding or not ?

BMW F800R Sport. I never,ever, see one on the road, but there seem to be at least 2 others on here.

Re: What bike are you thinking of buying next ? What's the shortlist ?

Triumph Speed Twin, just got to persuade my OH. I can't really fault my current F800R, though, except for a) it's a BMW and, b) It's not exactly pretty, even in the 'Motorsport' white, red and blue.

Mind you, that new Tiger 900 .....

Re: What is the one bike you have owned in the past and wish you always kept

2003 955 Speed Triple. Regretted it straight away (chopped it in for an Sprint ST). I'm still considering trying to find a minter, but black this time!
