Poll: next bike ...

[crmeyer]

I have been looking at the 04' Honda RC51's and the 04' Buell Firebolt XB12R's.  Either way I want a big Vtwin.

[Lerxst]

Something subdued like a Dodge Tomahawk... 500HP for $550,000... maybe I should get two.

If I stay in the US, then maybe a Yamaha TZ 125 or Honda RS 125.
And a pick-up truck.

If I go abroad again, then it'll be a VFR400 or maybe a Yamaha FZR 400 3TJ.
And maybe a CB125 for in-town errands.

What about the V-Strom 650?  Maybe not the best looking bike, but should be a nice engine, adjustable fairing, maybe factory hard bags.  Seems to have the makings of a nice sport tourer w/o the price of BMWs,Hondas and Yamahas.

Another GS500.

[jgary]

Something old, heavy, and slow-like me.  Honda CB750.

HEY !!!!!!!

HOW CAN YOU FORGET THE ONE........

THE ONLY .........>>>>>>>>>  Yamaha XJR 1300

I was actually gonna buy this, but thought I should crash and burn on its little brother, the GS500.

Anyone else love this bike, plssss tell me about it.

One more thing, I think the XJR is not available in US, only in Europe and AUstralia. So ppl missing out in US.

Search for the XJR1300 on the web, YOU'LL LOVE IT

sv100s for me

[pantablo]

in my dreams....

Wrencher, so you want an RC51 hey?
Well I rode my friends... Let me tellyou this. It doesnt Your either going so stupidly fast it hurts, or slow. Nothign in between. God damn so fun!!!

AS for me, I currently have a thread debating between a gixxer 750, and SV650. Either of those come this december when I trade in the 2002 GS500 with only 6000km. I just need more gusto!!!

Honda CB750 Nighthawk. Textbook "next bike" for my tastes and needs.

[JasonB]

Some 600cc SportBike. F4, R6, GSXR600, YZF600, ZX6R, ZZR600. Dunno yet.

[Wrencher]

Basicly looking for a liter v-twin to replace my Buell that was stolen. The Super Hawk and the RC-51 are very similar mills with radically different frames. The Super Hawk isn't a particularly laid back bike and isn't overly comfy for those 100+ mile trips, I suspect that its better than its big sister for the medium to longish hauls.

[spotswood_suzuki]

I love the look of the FZ6.  Guess I will see after the January show in NYC.

I will keep my GS and buy a beginner sport tourer.  A YZF600,  ZZR600, or perhaps the new FZ6.  I don't want to much HP.  I would like to increase gradually.  Maybe I should get the SV650.  Any other suggestions?

nextBike = (rand() ? "2004 Yamaha FZ6" : "2004 Honda 599");

Like 'em naked and not-so-fast    

[Rich500]

Pablo has impecabble taste. I think realisticly its the SV for me, but damn, would an Aprill ever do nicely!!!
To everyone wanting the RC51... Get it, you wont regret it.  

[yamahonkawazuki]

the gix 1k scares the s%^t outta me, rode my friends 03 an                 on that bike, no room for error

Trying to decide between a Super Hawk, TL-R or maybe a Gixxer 1K but they are still pretty expensive. The RC-51 is very appealing as well and if I can find one that isn't way too expensive or been wheelied to death, then that will most certainly be my new bike.

if honda ever figured out the overheating issue with the 51, id look at them too. mmi instructor had one, but he rode it all the time without the lower fairings on. it kept over heating. something about the radiator design.  

[jtenright]

just got this bike, but I would most likely make a big step up,
like a pretty new bike, but still a smallish bike(under 750cc)

either Suzuki or Honda, R6 would be nice though

or if I am rolling in Dough
Aprilla, Ducati, or Buell

[sprint_9]

SV 650, no fairing with that deep v-twin rumble, you gotta love it.
