What is going to be your next bike? - Page 3

HokieDNA01 · 11-23-2008, 06:27 PM

Well I love the bike I have but I wouldn't mind getting another 06-08 GSXr for the track (a salvaged title one so I won't cry as much if it goes down). I would also really like a motard. I just have a lot of trouble getting my short legs over one so I'm not sure which kind I would like. Any suggestions. I think Yamaha just came out with a 250 motard, Just wish it didn't have a 35+ inch seat height.

These things look amazing and I'm sure it will be a blast on the track.

No need for sly mods, except the jumper. Even after the jumper it's still down on hp to every other bike. I'm up and over 115 rwhp now so doesn't matter to me much anyways.

One of two things, if my budget will allow it'll be a KTM Superduke, if my budget wont allow then I'm going to franken-bike the shit out of a Ducati 1000DS and turn it into a freaky, naked, solo streetfighter with clip-on's.

Hokie, if you ever make it my way you can take the KTM for a spin. I'll bet you could handle it. They're tall, but they're light, so you don't need more than one foot or tip-toes to hold it up.

Also planning on picking up an XS650 for a rat-bobber project. But that wont be my "next" bike, just a project I'll have.

I already own my "dream" bike, as far as superbikes go..

But it's definitely not an all-around bike.

I'd like to own a supermotard of some flavor.. and something else to do long distance on. Haven't totally determined *what* yet, but you know..

I'm to a point where I'd like to do some light touring and have been moderately lusting after a BMW R1200R, yes the nekkid one. Very few faired bikes are aesthetically pleasing to me

After that I'd love a supermoto to hooligan around on

whatever is the best deal and i can afford.

i usually keep my sights on hondas, yami's, and gixxers, in that order.

I want to own a nice Ducati once. Not an everyday rider. Just to have in the garage and ride on those really nice summer days. Probably a Monster of the liter type. As of right now, I just want to finish the street fighter conversion on the 929 and have fun. After owning a bike I loved with alot of money invested, my goal is to build the 929 into something just as fun with as little money as possible. So far after selling part of the body work, I think I have less than 2500 invested.
