Title: Your Next Bike?
Post by: CirclesCenter on September 16, 2006, 04:56:07 PM
Ok, just wanted everyone to post their next bike (limit 3 choices!) and a short blurb about WHY they want it.

For me:
(http://www.triumphchepassione.com/immagini/z1000.jpg)
Look at it, it's HAWT and has 125hp.

Engineering wet dream, comfortable

(http://www.cmgonline.com/bikes/models/Suzuki/Bandit1200/2006/BigP/2006_Bandit1200_2_bg.jpg)
1200cc's, cheap powerful and BRUTAL.

Just three...  :icon_rolleyes:  Assuming I have money to burn (which I have not):

Honda/Montesa COTA 4RT
(http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~szumeng/a.jpg)
A bit of a pig at close to 74kg, but it's 4 stroke and fuel injected... and a Honda  :icon_twisted: Funny kick start - awesome clutch feel.

BMW R1200GSA
(http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~szumeng/b.jpg)
It's time for a holiday, a loooong holiday. The question is what NOT to see and where NOT to go.  Definitely need lots of cash...  :icon_confused:

Sherco 4.5i 4T SM
(http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~szumeng/c.jpg)
450cc SexMoto, programmable fuel injection right out of the box, hydraulic cluth and 109kg dry - reasonably priced as well  :thumb:

Not really thinking about another bike right now, but if I was forced into buying three more...

(http://www.projectrich.com/misc/2007_600rr_red.jpg)
Because I love my current 600RR...

(http://us.tnpv.net/pv/2006/09/05/HON2006090572380_pv.jpg)
Because it's the closest thing you can get to an RC211V...

(http://www.1000ps.at/magazin/mv4.jpg)
Because this is true sex on wheels...

THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT CAPTIONS!;)

Seriously, I don't spend weeks pouring over bike mags, so I recognize maybe 60 percent of these. Maybe.


+1.  I don't know what some of these bikes are.

I often said that I didn't think I would go with a 600CC supersport again, but after more than 2 years on the SV650, I think I may have to eat my words and go back to the R6.  Specifically, the R6S in that killer dark red.

CirclesCenter is pretty close to the mark with the Bandit 1200 (lots of power, nice and cheap :thumb:) and the VFR 800 (big scope for spending lots of money on after-market exhausts ;)), but this is my current dream-bike...

I'm actually debating interanlly between:

2003 Kawasaki Z1000 (in black/red)
(http://www.sobreruedas.biz/modules/Analisis_Motos/images/motos/z1000%203.jpg)
Naked, killer looks, plenty of power. Problems are: heavy! :(

Triumph Speed Triple
(http://www.fedrotriple.it/agg_feb2006/2006_speed_triple.jpeg)
One word: hooligan.

If I had the money... MV Agusta F4 Brutale S

M50 - 'cause I want a kick-ass little cruiser...

Thruxton - 'cause it's the coolest damn new bike out there, by leaps and bounds.

And some kind of classic all chopped up and bobbed... Like this gs1000:

Honda Shadow Ace--It looks like it would be a wonderful bike to have for a long distance trip.  Plus, I like chrome.  It gives me wood.

Can it turn while moving or do you pick it up with a fork lift?

i like the daytona 675 and when i go and visit my friend I am going to take his for a ride.  I love the way it looks but i will have to wait and see how it rides.  I would love to make that my next bike though, but we will see what the fiance and the budget have to say :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I honestly tried to think of what my next bike would be. 

I really, really like the new BMW R1200S.  I like the Z1000 but it is too upright.  I love the Brutale but it is freakin' tiny.  The 999 is hot, but tiny and expensive.

I think I want a Super Hawk, R1200S, and maybe a Speed Triple 1050.  I'd pretty much have everything covered with those three.
