Bikes I want

[OrangevaleFJR]

bas? bike acquisition syndrome.

There are these bikes I want. I want them because I think there are characteristics that I'd like to experience often, and/or because I think some may be a good starter bike for Sherri too:

Ninja 250

FZ6

YZF 600 R

06 R6

R1

K1200S

There are a couple more, but I'd be more than happy with these to keep the FJR company.

I'm sick.

My feejer would like to see me have an 06 FZ1 and a 06 Vstrom 650 and a 06 Bombardier 500 4x4. Just to keep company with my XR250R and Polaris 250 4x4.

Marianne might think otherwise but then she often does.

Hi, my name is Tim and I'm a Bikeaholic...

Went through the 12 step program when the FJR arrived. Had the GL1800, VFR800i, and the Road King in the stable. Got the Wing and the Viffer sold shortly after and the King followed suit several months later.

Sadly, the recovery process is beginning to veer off course...

On my short list:

Buell Ulysses

FZ1 or 6

Triumph 675

VFR

VStrom

Ducati Sport 1000

KLR650

I forgot about dual sports...I'd proabably go with an Adventure.

bas.

Yeah, its a tough addiction to break. I sadly have tried, but cannot get over it. I think that in the end, its something I can live with, and I'm not afraid to say that I have incurable disease.

Right now I have only two bikes, my FJR and my CBR954. Even with a killer sport bike, and a badass sport touring bike, I still find myself craving something more. I've considered getting an SV650 and setting it up as a tack tool. I've also been considering getting a Ulysses as a fun little around town bike which can take me on those cool little fire roads I've seen around.

Alas other financial commitments have stopped me from buying another bike at the moment... but for the cost of a cup of coffee a day, you can help this poor soul who suffers from this incurable disease. Please find it in your heart to help out this poor soul. I accept paypal, checks, money orders, and of course cash. Again, please think of all of the fun I am missing out on. If you dont do it for me, do it for the children... :bye2:

I also miss my VFR and want another one of those. I suppose I could dump both kids out of college and start ramping up on the toys. It would be real pleasant around the house to start this conversation.

Hi, my name is Tim and I'm a Bikeaholic...

HI TIM!

And let me say you are not alone, brother! Many a day goes by when I have impure thoughts about having an affair with the following:

1000cc VStrom

Aprilia TuonoR

Rocket III w/turbo

Kawi H2 -fully restored

and for fun with the kids, a Ural Patrol

 

[radman]

That Turbojet bike Jay Leno has, and my old BSA Thunderbolt, exactly the way I found it in 1967.

 

[donaldb]

I'm gonna ask Santa this year for a GL1800 and a Vulcan Nomad, that's my short wish list--doubt I'll get them though, unless Mrs Claus robs a bank. :lol:

TZ750

V8 Morbidelli

Of all the bikes I've had, the one I'd least want to have again is my '69 BSA Thunderbolt 650. I guess I just replaced too many zenor diodes after losing the lights at night, and even as a 20 year old youngster, the vibrations in the handlebars on a couple hundred mile trip would put my hands to sleep. For the time, I was happy with it, but its engineering weaknesses were the reason I fell in love with big Japanese inline 4s. No arguing against its uniqueness or handling for the day, though.

Last night Sherri told me not to bother shopping for a bike for her until she has taken MSF and gets all excited and comes and tells me that she HAS to have a bike. As she isn't even signed up for MSF I'm not sure if it will ever happen. The photographer is safe!

I've had a twin and a single. The SV650 was tempting until the new R6 came out. The FZ6 is for Sherri as is the YZF600R (She has to decide which one she wants and the 600R fairing is the only reason she might opt for that IF she ever decides she wants a bike. I could do with some kind of serious dual sport like the Adventure or a GS or something...I think I should add one like that to my list, but I cannot as I haven't selected what I want yet.

I don't really want a chopper.

If I won the lottery tomarrow (I would have to play first) these babies could squeeze in to my garage!

I don't need a stable of bikes. I bought the FJR because it was such a great compromise, while compromising so little. It's all I needed.

Now with baby on the way I know that the 11 hour rides will be put on hold for a bit (years?), and am selling the FJR. I need something to stir my emotions, something that vibrates at idle, with a highly tuned V-twin and monster torque. I've found it:

 

[FJRocha]

I want this ...

and this ...

and this...

and this.

Wait a minute, I already got the first one... oh well, three more to go...

 

[OrangevaleFJR]

I'm a bit shocked that nobody here metioned the BMW K1200R 163bHP naked street fighter bike. Sure it's ugly, but some people actually like that Kawi :lol: :lol:
