what would your next bike be

[loony888]

you know bazz..................... they're not uncomfortable to ride at all! nowhere near as racey as a 916 type bike, and i've owned them both, well, i still have my "R". i can easily do the same route as i did on my monster, no worries at all, and i have a skeleton not unlike evel kneivel

thats not fair Leigh that one of the sexiest bike  but my old bone couldnt take the weight, when was that cheers bazz

Turismo in Tasmania, Feb 2010. I couldn't resist a test ride. I didn't get to go far enough to know how comfy it would be but I look pretty relaxed don't I? BTW 848's are now getting down to the $13k level.

A newer Monster with ABS and traction control.

I just like the look of my model better though. Having just said that, the newer styles are growing on me a little.

Problem is... any next bike for me has gotta be an "as well as" coz I'm not parting with my M1100 or the crusty, lovable ugly DR.

So if I was to own other bikes

1) I'd be in deep(er) shit   
2) Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 SE - the green one.
3) 848

A Cagiva Elefant.
A more dirt road oriented 750 would do. A Monofaro looks the part. Current plans fell through, but one day..

Did you go for a run on the tiger 800xc? I test rode one a couple of years ago and loved it and if I was allowed a second bike that would be right up there.

I also went for a run on a Speed Triple and that was surprisingly good too, hold there weight well and similar geometry to my monster! Not sure bout extended two-up on the speed triple but would be ok!

I guess price range would help narrow the field!!

Cheers,

Scott

2014 monster 1200S
No doubt.

[madalf71]

I'd prefer my next bike to be free!

[Needle99]

While dreaming...
899 would be a lot of fun.
New monster 1200 also would be a good canvas to mod.

There is a Diavel with panniers Bazz, well panniers of sorts plus a few other touring options.
It's called very inventively the Diavel Strada, there is now also a Hyperstrada

for me.

ah yes the old monsters will be in our hearts forever but times are changing and ducati only want sales so if new bikes dont have every concept to please the younger generation and magazine writers , the new 1200 multi has had a lot of people pulling there hair out and a lot of people are selling up ,the kiss principle is still the best cheers bazz
