Are you happy with your bike?

[vifferman]

I've got a bike to suit every mood: commuting, hooning (probably the same thing), touring, cruising...

No, my bike's not perfect, but it's pretty damned good. And it's complex, tubby and expensive, which is why it handles better and goes faster than my VFR750 used to (it wasn't called FartySlutBeast for nothing...)
Miss the FahrtSturm's WheeliesOnDemand though.:disapint: And the gobs of torque.
But the turbine smoothness and comfort of the VFR is very nice, as is the absence of friggin camchain rattles!

After long and careful deliberation I've come to the conclusion that I need 3 bikes:

1 for commuting: something smallish, reliable, economical, but also fun to ride, to bring a bit of joy into an otherwise dreary working day. Something like a Honda 400.

1 for touring: comfortable seat and riding position, packrack for luggage, heaps of torque. The XJR1200 fits the bill.

1 for the track (and the odd bit of Coromandel loop hooning): an R1 would do nicely, though I'd probably settle for an R6 if someone gave me one.

I'm two thirds of the way there...

Yip, the Bandit suits me for now - good low end that doesn't mean changing gears for every change in speed. Comfortable seat too.

[QUOTE=MikeL]After long and careful deliberation I've come to the conclusion that I need 3 bikes:

I have 3 bikes but feel I need 5 or 6
The SRX is great for commuting but its gonna get the flick when it hits 100000k in 13000k time
The XJR is great for touring and scratching but the seats a bit soft
The WR is great for anything on the dirt but the seats too hard.
Guess I'm gonna have to change my ass.
I'd like a trials bike for doodling
And a cruiser to see the world from a Harley wannabe's perspective
Oh yeah quite like an R1 for track days

Sorry but you seem to be missing a few options for me.

I like it but it needs a clean

I like it but I need to fix the seat and give it a clean

I like it but it needs the fork seals doing and it needs a clean

I like it but it's not running that well just at the moment... and it needs a clean

F4 for lunacy...
Brutale for fun...
FZ1 (Fazer) for touring...

Need a 400 for track days!!!

Clean? When it comes to matters like this I like to use the Team New Zealand motto:

"Will it make the bike go faster?"

I like the look of my bike mostly, and it is very comfortable to ride but it is underpowered and the bars don't feel too nice, but anything else would make it look sad, I really like the look of the honda nighthawk that was on trademe last week, but it's beyond the price I can justify paying for a bike, still dreams are free, I'll hang onto my bike for a year or so till I wear the tyres out and then look for something bigger, faster and that handles better.
