What will your next bike be?

According to the poll on the KR site - over 30% will go dual sport or adventure bike next.

Poll is on the front page.

Adv bike riders:
I'd appreciate some input on the blog page too - If KTM or BMW or other ADV owners would care to leave a summary of their ADV bikes as comments:
http://kiwiridermagazine.blogspot.co...ing-advds.html

or post on here and I'll paste 'em in.

adv bike meh.. good for some but i;ll do my off roading in a big V8 pickup with 44" monster mudders thanks

my next bike will be something naked and Italian.. MV Brutale 910r or a Benelli TNT i think

defiantly something that can handle the gravel and mud better than the RR. Had a ball on the 640 Adventure I rode in Europe and would be a little better suited to come of the goat tracks that pass as roads in this country.

Trek Madone 5.5

I'll have to buy something fat and cruiserish to be different then.

Woe is me - not.

Next bike ................ sooo way down the $ priority list that I can't even think of one.

Dual thingy - at the risk of being call 'gay' half the appeal of a bike to me is physical - if it does not look right I'll not purchase it (F-off you lot ready to bag my current ride

)

So as far as dual purpose goes the Triumph Scrambler 'looks' like a proper motorcycle to me - drop in some Thunderbike cams and pipes and I'd be happy.

Or a stripped down cruiser thingy.

Street/Speed triple......... yum

Daytona 675...as soon as the bank leaves out a decimal point for me...

Ah you noticed that despite claiming to have no idea what I'd purchase I managed to list 5!

He he he if my Big Wednesday ticket comes in I'll just buy my own motorcycle shop!

It doesn't take much. A few million dollars and unlimited power and I'd be cool.

Yeah I'm happy. Co-pilot has been visiting the kids in Hobart and I've been livin' la vida sofa and doing that stuff that married men rarely get a chance to do in SMQ. Like tinned spaghetti on toast for 2 meals in the same day. Choice.
