    I've been going through the same thought process for the last couple of years too.
    One week I think I want another sport bike .....
    The next a cruiser....
    The next a dirtbike...

    Then a boat .....

    I cant really offer advise because I haven't sorted out my own delema. (sp)
    I'm sure if we could all afford it. we would have 6 bikes in the Gargre to choose from .. alas financial constraints prevent this perfect world from forming.

    How about a CruiserDirtBoat (tm) bike ???
    Not even with yours!!!

    LOL
    all i could afford is maybe a bath tub with bmx wheels stuck on it & a wooden spoon for propulsion... but i'd fill it with ice & 4 dozen steinies & set sail, oh man now we're talking.
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    The problem with riding fast on the road is that sooner or later it'll catch up with you! (either the cops or you'll end up hurtin).

    I think a motard might be an option for me also in a year or so.

    They seem altogether more practical than most sports bikes - less extreme seating position, less top speed, and allow for holiganism at much lower speeds than a 600-1000 sports bike.

    Brilliant bikes for commuting and weekend blats I think.

    My solution to the problem you're having was a naked sport/cruiser (XJR1300/ZRX1200 type) and a dirtbike (250 range)... Go test ride :sly:

    I figured I wanted it all so I sold my TL1000S and replaced it with an FZR400R and an XR600R (soon to be motarded..). This way I figured I could have variety in riding styles. Only downside is paying double the rego and the work involved in converting the XR... Maybe sometime in future I'll get a KDX200 or something for offroad..
    Slob by name, not by nature..
