    Who has more than one bike?

    Who has more than one motorcycle. I have been toying with the idea today of getting a second bike, namely a cruiser.
    I currently have a K7 Speed Triple, but I am thinking of a big cruiser with luggage for touring to compliment it.
    What's the best combination of choice.
    I am freindly really, I only bite when provoked

    ya for got to add The Old
    why not look at a sports-tourer

    any bike that you are comfortable on long distances (or short distant if ya live in say USA )
    depends on whether you want to carry the kitchen sink or not. there are plenty luggage options out there
    it still baffles me what Rider In Black can get into a pack
    asked Mom if I was a gifted child ... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.

    I have a ZZR250 which has been out of commission for WEEKS (going on months) - mostly trying to get these bloody aftermarket fairings on, but now it also needs new stearing head bearings, front tyre, etc so it's at the shop (as opposed to in pieces in the garage).

    Partly out of withdrawl and partly because I've always wanted to, I've gone and bought a small twosmoke (Kawasaki KR150) - Loving it! It's absolutely mental, although not as mental as I was hoping (was trying to track down a SDR200...) - totally worth it though. I don't intend to sell my 250 once it's running again, it's much better for longer distance and motorway riding.

    Got a mid sized adventure bike (DR650) and trail bike (CRF230).
    Would have another big bike, maybe a sport tourer (miss my old CBR1000F from time to time) but can't afford to reg and insure a second road going machine any more.

    Working on downsizing my collection atm. I have more bikes that I'm willing to pay rego for - especially at the currect exorbitant rates!

    DR-Z400SM for general road and off-road use. VFR400R for the racetrack, and a '78 RD350 will be getting stripped down for track use this summer too.

    Plus an A80, a minimoto, and me'n Squiggles co-own two bucket sidecars.

    Makes for a crowded garage!

    why have two, sell the K7 get a beamer Gs & you get on/off road, comfort, overpriced, & you can ride all day

    I selected sports plus trail, but really is a GS1100G plus a KLR650. I didn't count the FZR1000 in long term storage
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
