Yeah, but I think I mainly get tired of the V-strom because it doesn't do any one thing extremely well.
Ideally, I'd like to have a bike to just cruise around town on (Harley, Victory, etc.), another bike for the LONG highway rides (Goldwing), a dual sport for riding to the offroad locations and then riding offroad (KLR), and a dedicated track bike (R6, GSXR750, etc). Since I can't afford 4 bikes, I'll hang on to the V-strom and make the best of it. As I get older, I expect I'll have a Goldwing and some type of cruiser for around town. |

Gotcha. I was just thinking that doing trips on the current bike might be preferable to no riding at all till Spring. But then you don't get goodies for the car.

Greg, BMW GT. Seriously. All you have to do is ride one and you'll be hooked. That is, especially if you ride at night. That headlight is absolutely tremendous. It's crazy that the headlight - with ALL the advances on that bike - the HEADLIGHT was my favorite thing

I traded the Buell for a new mx bike and haven't regretted it one bit.
I'm contemplating a decent 2-up bike in the future, but I don't even know what to look for. |

Whats nice is there are a lot of choices out there now. I had a hard time narrowing the field after the priller crapped out and still havent made a decision but I still have some demos to ride.

Not interested in riding street at all anymore. Didnt even insure the Harley this year. Its paid next may, and im considering selling it for 14k (may have a buyer), buying a dirtbike, and using the rest as a part of a downpayment on a house.
I dunno what it is, but riding street currently bores me to tears. And its not just our shitty roads, no matter where I go, I just find im not that interested. I should be enjoying my ride, instead, im wishing winter would get here sooner so I can ride the sled.

The problem is *not* cruising. Everyone's focus changes and their tastes/bikes change as that focus does. There are plenty of paces short of *running the canyons* that is fun. My TLR hasn't left the garage this year, the Busa has a few times, the BMW has alot, and I'm taking the KLR to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in 2 days. There won't be any canyon carving on that bike, but I'm totally looking forward to the trip and I'm going to have a blast. I haven't gone out and done full boogie dragging knee on a sportbike in quite some time, and I am in no way bored with riding. If just taking it easy bores you, so be it, but that's not everyone's problem.

After my Duc took a shit, I took time off from riding. At the time I couldn't afford anything new, and the desire to get on another bike was close to gone. Recently I picked up a Buell Blast just to get around the cost of gas for my typical commute. Maybe it's just the break, but I don't think I've had more fun riding than I have on this little bitch. It's not going to win races, it's not even close to a sexy bike, and every now and then a little more power would be nice, but even tooling around back and forth to school is a shitload of fun. The damn thing is retardedly easy to ride and throw around. If anything, it's kind of relit the fires for riding.
