74 posts and 11 months later the S4Rs gets another vote...

Now will you keep it for real?

XB12X Ulysess or Yamaha MT-01

**DarkLord** · 13th January 2009, 22:19

That'd have to be a GSX-R 1000.

++1 on this. I have one of these factored into my two year plan, a copy of which has yet to find it's way into the hands of my financial director.....

So given the rules (however stupid they may be) - what bike would you get and why.

Easy question to answer, having just done this exersize, "Triumph Tiger 955i" . (@ 69 this could well be, my last ever bike)

But guess what, I didn't take into account that the human body shrinks as it gets older!

Eek, I am now finding the bike a bit big and high for my little old legs!

Working on it though, lowered her on the forks 12 millimeters, wound the back damper back a bit too.

Now have procured a spare seat (gratis Duck_01) to experiment with to try and gain a bit more grip on the ground.

Apart from that the Tiger is "purrfect" for the last (do everything) one and only bike forever!

Street Triple 1050... Looks like it would appeal to me at all ages.

If customs are allowed GSXR 1000 streetfighter, coz you can just keep working it to perfection...

Disturbingly I have no idea. New bikes are being made all the time and when I am 60 I am sure whatever I like right now will be obsolete and dull compared to what will be available then. At the moment I am still in love with the old Indian scout.

Not sure if I would ride it or if I would just stare at it and polish it.

Soooo... I reserve my womens rights to change my mind at any given time forthwith.
