Any bike but your own?

WildKat · 07-22-2008, 06:45 PM

So which bike, if you had the chance to get a new one right now, would you choose?

I've been thinking of trading in my bike sometime in the next year or so ( to my wife's dismay I might add..LOL ) so I've been thinking of the endless choices that are out there and what's going to be right for me, my riding style, and the daily routes I normally take. All that not withstanding I also need to have the fun factor as well as being somewhat affordable. I haven't jumped ship to the chopper world unlike somebody on this forum

however I have been seriously considering this as my next bike. I really like the naked look plus it's got plenty of power, I can ride aggressively if I want or just hop on and hit the roads on a sunday afternoon.

I also like the Gixxer 750 a lot because I like the middleweight class of bikes that has usable realistic power for the experienced street rider...but this is my first choice.

Kawa Z1000

I don't know how much they cost, but have you looked at the Ducati Monsters? Naked V-twin in three sizes, 695, 800, and 1000. Just a thought. Or perhaps the SVs?

but more realistically, i have to admit im in love with the looks of the new zx-10 in diablo black

Those are phat looking bikes and I love the new CBR 1000 RR which will be my next bike hopefully by next season

MikeSP1 · 07-22-2008, 07:56 PM

How's about this, the Viper RC51?

Personally, I'd like to have the Z1000, or an 01 ZX9R. actually, I'll take one of each, plus a VFR800 for playing on touring trips.
