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

Post by weeksy »

Nothing on my list... But i'd still like to replace the wifes track bike with something like this, but maybe an ex-trioptions cup version so a bit more track ready.

Nothing ATM, I need to sort the TDR. That's put all the removed bits back on. And I need to sell the R1z. Once that has gone then who knows.

Nothing at the moment. Got my dream road bike. And the Husqvarna is the bike to have for Enduro.

I keep thinking about an MV like Iccy had, but never do anything about it.

The next purchase here will be a bigger Enduro bike for Penny when she does her test.

I get the same with both the MT-10 and the Superduke 1290... but know they're both 'wrong' for what i want and need out of bikes.... but DAMN i want a 1290 !!!!

If I was in one place for long enough to enjoy it then I'd already have a V85TT.
After that I'd probably go for a Hollis Type A.

Other than that it's just bikes that I fancy a go on but probably don't like enough to buy/keep them.

1290 SD
Another Dragster
An Indian flat track
Aprillia 660
SD 690
Hypermotard

MT09 in white. Test rode one two weeks ago at cmc and loved it. Got great punch, feels lairy.

I've only just bought an 1100 Monster. Unfortunately there's no room in the garage for any more bikes or I'd make Bwana an offer for his RD350

I am finding I have a hankering for an SP2
Or a 1198 Ducati ( I wish I hadn’t sold my 998s)

But I think i might find the riding position challenging.
Other than that , I have what I need and should just ride them more often

I'd have to ditch the brown seat though, or grow a manicured beard and start buying hair 'products'.

Have been seriously considering getting a Kawasaki H2 after seeing Trickys last year (thought I'd hack in the Alpina for one but recently swung a bit over to the idea of a new-isher Zzr 14 with all the knobs and whistles....or orange 1290

A Yamaha Thunderace which I'll put YZF750 bodywork on, because you can't have too many crappy old Yamahas

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 .....

Still can't think of anything yet that would replace the Rockster.

However - I am definitely going to try the V85TT at some point this year to see if it's worthy of a hankering.

Hi
A big part of me would like a V4Panigale but the more sensible me would go for V4 Tuono Factory to replace the Speed Triple.
Now a street fighter Panigale would be ace🤔
