2024 who's buying a new motorbike ? and what is it ?
Apart from 'a motorbike'
We're pretty darn unlikely.. it's more possible we'll sell than buy...
But i'm interested in what you lot are buying..

I want to buy a cheap shitter, to fiddle with, but I've got a kitchen to pay for first.

A new bike,or a 'new to me' kind of bike?
I can't see the first one happening,as there's nothing currently to turn on the lust meter. The second option is an ever present danger...

It's been so long since I had my XT600 running it'll seem like a new (old) bike again if I finally get the motivation to finish the ressurection..
There's also a strong probability of the Street Triple getting p/x'd for something with a 19' wheel in mid summer.

No new bikes, but really do need to get rid of the track R6 so a downsize rather than upsize for me.

If I ever get around to working on the Ed80, and it turns out to be a good'un..... I "might" sell the bronze Rockster..... (if anyone would have it!)

I can sell you an FZ750 - I'm never going to do feck all with itKungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 2:03 pm I want to buy a cheap shitter, to fiddle with, but I've got a kitchen to pay for first.
I can also sell you a 350 YPVS, while it will be cheap for an LC, it won't be proper cheap.
I can't see me buying anything new this year as my Honda has only done 6000 miles, but you never know, if Honda do a mega deal on unsold 2023 CB1000Rs I would probably buy one.

Maybe a 452 Himalyan, as my current 411 has been great on the tracks I use it on. As long as the 452 maintains the "feel" of the 411, I'll be happy, and welcome the extra power.
And maybe a used trials bike too, although I fear it will be wasted on my limited riding skills.

Re: 2024 who's buying a new motorbike ? and what is it ?
Depends on whether my Bell's Palsy improves , money from BMW sale is sat waiting to be spent
on a new bike. If things don't improve i may by a project or classic just to tinker with.

Tempted by the new triumph 400s.
The local dealer has them listed at somewhat sensible prices, so I'll go have a nosey when he actually gets them in.

Re: 2024 who's buying a new motorbike ? and what is it ?
Dealers only offering 6k in PX. So decided to hopefully sell private. If it doesn't sell, px may be the way I go. Think it's a bit cold for private buyers atm. Watch this space.
Oh...one dealer offered me 6.5k, but was pulling my dick on the purchase bike price.

I still want a R-E.
Difficult to justify as I hardly use the current bike I have, bit will at least keep it company in the garage.
