whats with you and the hondas? and you haven't suggested a hornet?

before you do, i do like 'em (and great value for the bux) but the newey has to be full fairing i'm told.

I'm not sure what's with he Hondas.....shit

I did leave the hornet out purely because it's naked.
Duc ST3 if you have deep pockets?

I was certain I made that saying.

Yamaha FZ-1 or a big fat FJR1300?
Still not as nice as a sprint.

actually both are a real consideration. i like the fz, she likes the fjr. i can scratch up the 'takas on the fizzer, we can fit a tent and her make-up bag in the fjr. does anyone need hair? coz i'm pulling it out!

it still comes back to not any of them being a triumph though.

The trumpy is hard to beat. I'm going through my mind-bike-encyclopaedia and not pulling anything great out. I'd say Hayabusa, but, last one I was on was bloody uncomfy. What about BMW's?

Whats a K1200R worth these days?

Yeah the beamer has come into my thinkin' aswell, but again it would be a shitty old dual purpose (f650) thing to do the commute on (and tag) so we could still have something nice in the garage to actually ride when we wanted to. The only thing holding me back there is the ridiculous money their owners think they are worth!

I would like to drag race bikes, and the 'busa is the biz for that (actually know a boy wiv a supercharged pig), but it ain't happening in the next year or so.

So one of these is out of the question?
So a multi-purpose beats with a bit of get up and go? I doubt a BMW F650 would fill those shoes, the KTM 990 are a twin, as are the SV1000 based thingy. What about a Yamaha TDM?

nice bimmer but i still don't think that's us

990 adventure? now you're talking!

(I'm still a 4 cyl man but that is a machine that you would make a sacrifice for)

insane that a new one is $25k! just wish i had won the lottery yesterday.

I imagine the 990 would be a hell of a bike to have!
Personally out of all of the mentioned I'd go with the Sprint. So pretty, comfy and versatile. Oh and that noise....
