Would you buy another bike same as old one?

[mikeey01]

Dear Agony Aunt,

I recently crashed and burned my bestest ever bike!!!&%$#!!!

I could buy it back and try recreate it.
I could buy another the same.
I could buy a completelydifferent bike.

I am afraid if I buy it back it wont 'feel' the same bike...and it would be a hassle to do it. Loads of aftermarket Bling.
If I buy another the same, I might be dissapointed as no 2 bikes are the same.
I could buy somthing completely different, then when it doesnt handle the same, at least I know its a different bike, so will be different!

What do you reckon??????

Anything other than a duke will be a let down and you'll miss it!
All I can say is throwing a leg over something other than a duke will be depressing...... know what I mean?

Italian bikes are about emotion.

If you want the fastest, sharpest, trickest bike on the planet, buy Japanese and follow the crowd.

But if you want a bike to stir you deep inside every time you open the garage door,
a bike you will spend hours cleaning just for the sake of it,
a bike that will make you shudder every time you hit the starter button and grin like an idiot behind a dark visor on the open road, there is none better.

I've got an R1 these days but I used to have a 91 FZR1000 and now I have the R1 I see just how nice the FZR was. The R1 looks more like a wippet than the old bike but the FZR is way more smooth to ride. If it wasn't for the fact that I like how the R1 looks I'd have an FZR in a heart beat.

If you don't try, you never know. (not applicable if married)

stick with one brand, dont be a brand whore, no-one likes a brand whore

[BMWST?]

depends what you are after,where you are at in your bike experience....try the more modern version (s) of your bike,then if you are still of the opinion the st4 is you get another one....you can always change it again later.Perfect opportunity to evolve,adapt,change.I seriously doubt that one st4 wont be very much like the next one,with your exp I am sure you could pick the friday bike

I was looking for something a bit newer than the 900SD I have had for 22 years, its powerful enough for me with 65 hp. what I really wanted was a new 900SD....but alas they don't make them any more.
So now I have a 900ss ie....great. Just need to buy a few of the special tools and I'm sorted.

Seeing as Ducati no longer make the ST you may have trouble finding a 2nd hand one that compares to the one you had.There are rumors that Ducati may fill the gap left by the demise of the SportTourer and SuperSport models in a year or two.Perhaps try something like a S4R Monster for now and see what they come up with.
I have only had my current duc for a few months but if something was to happen to it I would definately buy the same bike again.Its not perfect,but it is the most fun bike I have ever ridden.

Would I get the same again?
Cept to bastadise Alan B,s lovely quote, I have dumped the dowdy Sister and getting the best girl ever.....S4 to S4Rs:

To qualify that a little, you have to be very happy with what you had to go the same or similar.

[racerhead]

What I would no is buy a different bike to experience something different and if you really like the duc you can get another one a few years down the road.
This is what Im doing at the moment and like a bit of a change

[banditrider]

I'd definitely replace the Connie with a Connie. It is the only bike I've owned that I can't see myself selling. As for my little red toy, well I got it for a song (and would never have bought it otherwise) so I'd have to find another good deal or just go back to be a 1 bike family.
