    Sold me bike!

    Well the bike is "gone burger" I sold it this afternoon and its heading to Christchurch for some Motarding action down there.

    So whats next ??? yup thats the big question

    Cause Im a complete headcase I cant make a decision but have two current choice sets in consideration

    1/Motards

    I have two bikes Im looking at, one a Aprilia sxv550 and the other a 08 KTM450smr
    this means more racing which is fine but I do think of the body a bit.

    2/ Sportsbike

    Get a nice Zxr, GSX750 or R1 or something and do the occasional road ride and some trackdays.

    I love trackdays but have a concern for throwing my pride n joy down the track and not that keen on road riding

    So there ya go, complete headcase eh

    whats your thoughts peps??

    whatever I do I need something thats for sure but I cant afford two bikes sadly so one will be it.

    Interested to know what you think.
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    motard for sure mate, but im a bit biased lol

    those 08 450's seem pretty good ay, 550's arer fast as but expensive fixing

    oh my parts arrived this morning, getting put in next week then its back on the dyno, ill let ya know how i go.
    Bring on the weekend

    Buy neither, focus on the business and sponsor some riders.

    Like scorry who just had to get some parts. Sponsor several riders and it'll save you heaps, you'll get that warm feeling, advertising and more buso. They'll probably let you have a go. And maybe buy a cheaper road bike / track bike.

    And don't look at trademe till you've made a decision in case you accidentally click the bid button several times.

    Get a Dirt bike, go MX racing of even enduro cross, maybe the odd trail rides, change wheels over, put slicks on Motard, when your too old to be competitive, but just want to get out there and have fun.

    KTM990SM (or SMT if you have to)...

    If you can't tackle something with it, there's something wrong with you...

    beaches (not really soft sand tho), gravel, tar, touring, beating sportsbikes... you name it
