What's the next bike you'd like to add/upgrade to?

[McVaaahhh]

**Edit - I'm not talking about what would you go buy if you had all the money in the world. I'm talking about if your bike got stolen tomorrow what would you replace it with? What would you upgrade to when you're ready (financially or otherwise)? What new addition do you have your eye on that maybe you'll buy when you get "x" payed off, etc.




I think my next purchase would have to be a cruiser of some sort. I really like the Yamaha Star line, specifically the Warrior. Simple fact is the RC-51 is not very comfortable on the long haul, highway type of riding. Also, it's horrible for two-up riding and there are some days when a mountain cruise with the wife seems more appealing than a high speed canyon strafe with some of you clowns. :lol:


I love my RC and think I'll keep it for a long time to come. The only sportbike I would probably consider selling the RC for is an MV Agusta F4 1000r. (maybe in a couple of years)



So what's your next bike purchase or upgrade?

[konichd]

Ducati 1198R Bayliss - Money-wise its easily within reach, the real problem is trying to get one :(

Gawd that thing is sexy Randal. Like "I need to spend a few minutes alone with it" sexy :)

[Snowman]

Now if we can just convence them to make it...

[salsashark]

While I love my S3 and don't foresee getting rid of it any time soon, I'm with you on a long haul / 2 up bike... I'd go the sport touring route though, my back and cruisers don't mix. Perhaps a K1200GT, Sprint ST, or Concourse.

They make the CB1300s, but in Honda's infinite wisdom, they won't import it to the U.S.

Yeah, I'm not set on the cruiser myself, but I'd like to pick up something more comfortable one way or another.

Ducati 1198R Bayliss

Can't really argue with that one.

Now... if we're talking money falling from the sky and it's time to fill the garage with dream toys...

Nah, I'm talking about what you're seriously considering for you next bike, not dream bike. (unless you're lucky enough to have the funds to obtain your dream bike)

I'm thinking a CBR600RR. Something a little more nimble and I hear the new ones are, to quote Dana, "the cat's pajamas" :)

[asp_125]

Since we're dreaming about filling a garage:

Norton cafe racer
Thruxton cafe racer
RC51
VFR 800 with bags
Speed Triple
some track bike
Duc Streetfighter
MV Brutale S
MV F4 Senna

gonna need a bigger garage

Yeah, but what are you seriously considering for your next bike, whether it's an addition or an upgrade of your current bike?

[asp_125]

It would be to complete my CB350/Four and get it licensed.

[TFOGGuys]

WR250R or street legal WR450/CRF450X/KTM450EXC

Anything ending in "i" or "ta" or even "ia"

-Ducati/Benelli
-MV Agusta
-Aprilia

-even Bianchi :banghead::banghead::banghead: ahhhhhhh, when will the madness end?!?!

I should just move to Mugello and open a damn Gelatto shop with "bike parking only for owner" posted outside the door!!!

Honda CB1100R...
Retro all the way...
Actually, I REALLY dig that one, I liked it since I first saw it. i think Honda should build it!

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Honestly, I want a big adventure bike, like the KTM 990 Adventure, or a V-Strom with some suspension work and panniers. I figure, the sport bike for long distance shredding, and the adventure bike for long distance rides to dirt areas like Moab and the Grand Canyon. Best of both worlds!

[ChrisCBX]

Its taken nearly 2 years of steady part time work to get my CBX race bike on the street, so no more build projects for a while.

There are a bunch of vintage sport bikes that I'd add to the collection if possible. There are a few nice CB1100R's in the U.S. and I wouldn't mind owning one of those.

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k164/Cbxnut/NRandCBX11001.jpg

More realistic would be a nice condition V twin sport bike (RC51, Duc or Aprilia).

[Think]

It'd be between a new VFR, supermoto, or an FJR1300/ST1300.

[httc84]

Been considering the MotoGuzzi California Special. I like the cruiser with a twist look.

Got a few quirks though. The sport version has some funky brake linking going on that would take a while to get used to.

[rybo]

RSV-4 for me please

[XJ600s]

Triumph Daytona 675, in these colors please... :D

WR250R or street legal WR450/CRF450X/KTM450EXC

Yup, got a 06 GSXR 600 for when I want to be a squid and a 09 Harley Fat Bob for cruising (although the wind beats you down), but a next bike seems to follow TFOGGuys as I feel I am missing something by being limited to pavement only....

John

[Matty]

Hmmm..... maybe that new Ducati street fighter thing.

[Matrix]

Maybe this is a little traditional but the new Honda CBR1K's look sweet to me.

Simple fact is the RC-51 is not very comfortable on the long haul, highway type of riding.

So what's your next bike purchase or upgrade?
I'm probably in the same boat as you. If I were to just buy another bike to add to the stable, it would either be a Yamaha Warrior or Kawasaki Vulcan series or the Mean Streak. Honda's VTX line isn't bad either. I've been thinking of getting a cruiser for probably the last year or so. The sport touring bikes don't do anything for me. Something appealing about a stripped down cruiser(only thing I'd add would be a windshield for some wind protection).

Obviously if my pride and joy GSX-R1k got stolen, then I'd replace it with another 1k in a heartbeat. I might look into replacing it with a R1 or maybe a ZX10R but that would be if I couldn't find a GSX-R of my choosing, which I doubt that would happen.

[Cars-R-Coffins]

I think my next purchase would have to be a cruiser of some sort. I really like the Yamaha Star line, specifically the Warrior.

I bought a Warrior after my Honda 929 and before my 954. I had the same thoughts as you. Before you buy one though, please take it on a canyon run by yourself. When you're scraping metal on every turn you may have second thoughts. Mine was sold with a little more than 700 miles on it. Just sayin'...

[MikeG]

:lol: A YZR-M1 :lol:

Honestly though, if Yamaha were to actually develop the alleged 250 R4, that would be a likely addition.

[dirkterrell]

I'm working on my Interceptor collection:

http://www.boulder.swri.edu/%7Eterrell/bikes/interceptor_montage_small.jpg

I need the top two ('83 VF750F and '86 VFR750F) and the bottom left ('84 VF1000F). After that, I'll start working on the 3rd and 4th generation Interceptors.

[WidowmakerDutch]

If I could have any bike in the world this would be the one I would chose to have sitting in my garage.

[thatmofo]

'08 Busa

http://www.hayabusa-1300.co.uk/2008_black1.jpg

[Sean]

hmmmm. What I would like to do is buy an 07 or 08 R1, so it's a bit cheaper than a new one and dump a couple grand in mods. ex: suspension, gearing, bodywork, electronics, brakes, exhaust, etc.

Although chances are I'll get a used dirt bike or a older trackbike to beat the snot out of :up:

[busagirl]

Too bad for 2009 they aren't bringing any black ones into the US only orange :(

Oh and I'd like to upgrade the Busa to a 2008 too :D

Without that particular can...and if I lived in Europe. That is if my bike all of a sudden disappeared, of course. Other than that, I haven't really thought about it.

[Tipys]

03 up RC51 me loves twins
09 ZX6 other then the hugh can that bike is sick.

Dream bike have to go with 1098 tri color but with the problems Ron has had I think I will pass. Untill I have lots of money

[age315]

I just bought a 600rr back in october but i think my next one is going to be a Ducati monster 1100s. I need to pay this one off before that happens though. 11368

[FZRguy]

If I had to replace my FZR, it would be a Street Triple. My next street bike purchase will be sumo, however, but not til 2010.

[slayermd]

Mine would have to be the Triumph Daytona. Although Aprilla's V-4 bike is on the top of the list too.

[Desmodromico]

I would love to find a mint 998, I admit it would be a garage queen but represents to me the best of that iconic style.

I would also love to have an Aprilia RS250...

[CaptGoodvibes]

If I can keep my cruiser, I'll get an I-4 supersport 600 something. Most likely a leftover Honda 600RR. If I have to part with my cruiser, I'll get a VFR or Sprint so I can still do big miles.

[rapparee]

Would like to pick up a new 848 (wish it came in black) or an 06 999 in black!

[green_zx7r]

RC45. Yes, both of them. :) I'll make one a 1999 Castrol Honda Edwards rep.

[COS Mille]

I with RYBO, Aprilia RSV4!

[RajunCajun]

Realistically, I would get a job, blah blah $$ $$,,,
1. get my FZR running with a few upgrades(daily commuter/give to my first kid),
2. keep the 06 1KRR(upgrades),
3. Honda 600RR 05-08, dedicated track bike,
4. I've always wanted an old Bobber, old triumph, BSA for cruising and just looking bad ass ;)....

[OUTLAWD]

I've already got the practical, comfortable bike...so the next thing has got to be a little off the beaten path..

I'm thinking an old bonnie cafe racer replica with modern suspension, tires, brakes...maybe along the lines of this:

[Ninja Nate]

Hopefully this will be in my garage by next weekend...

http://www.firstclassmotorcycles.com.au/new_husky_pics_2009/TE510_2009.jpg

[Jim_Vess]

'09 Daytona 675 or a '09 R1

[Bueller]

Probably back to a Buell, I really like those bikes. Maybe an 1125 but more than likely a Lightning.

[Captain Obvious]

After I purchase a house this summer, I will know how much play money I have. I will be adding a project bike of the cafe type. Leaning toward a XS650 or a CB750/900.

http://www.motorcyclemojo.com/articles/feature-bike-xs650-cafe-racer/images/right_front_profile_1435.jpg

The other desire is a dual sport type, but I am not sure what model. So many dirt roads around CO that it seems silly to not have something.

[= Buckeye Jess =]

I want my next one to be an enduro or dirt bike thing that I can play rough on and not worry about beating it up. Haven't come far enough in the process yet to even think about what specific bike I want tho! =)

[puckstr]

I'm thinking a CBR600RR. Something a little more nimble and I hear the new ones are, to quote Dana, "the cat's pajamas" :)


600RR ??? dude I got one for ya.

My choices:
VFR800 (5th gen) Soon as someone buys my 600RR
RC30
NC30
RC45
I also want another CB750 SOHC...mmmm kickstart

But the DUKE looks bad ass too

Money is going "other" places at the moment. Otherwise I would take you up on that :)

[Airreed]

I just bought my "next bike" last week ('07 CBR 600rr), but my next bike will probably be a Pee-Wee for my son.

Suzuki M-109R or Yamaha Warrior
DRZ-400 or XR-650

Definitely the 848...to add not replace the R1.

[chad23]

If I lost NachoAPRILIA I would like to get the rsV-4, after that a duc 848

Now if we are just adding to the stable a 600cc trackbike, which I am work on getting

[R6Blake101]

Planning on purchasing this bike by summer or late fall. If everything works like I plan.

[LambeauXLIV]

Either a Ducati 848, gsxr 750, or gsxr 1000, but most likely the 750

[Ninja Nate]

Well, its done and over with. I'll be picking up my Husky this weekend!!! Now i just need a set of sumo wheels/tires

I was thinking the same thing. I was about *thisclose* to getting something I could take in the dirt before I got the Ninja.

'Course then I'd have to ride with Dysco, and that's just a scary thought.

[Scer]

I would probably keep my ARGGHH 1 but just install the slipper clutch in it to make it even more sexy.

If we're talking practical instead of fantasy, I'd want something affordable and different from my well-used '01 Gixxer1k. I think a big adventure bike would be awesome, especially around this 4-state (or more) area.

[Scer]

Just put some knobbies on the bike frank!

Funny you should mention that, I remember seeing some psycho that built a killer dirtbike frame and suspension around a Gixxer 1K motor. It was really cool, and it was actually lighter than a KTM 990 Adventure, no less!
