as above and a lowered yammy MT-900.

but you know what.. you would be hard pushed to get my SV from me.

I'd go for a Kawa Ninja H2 and a Suzi PE250.

You'd have to fight me to take the SV away but....

A new Thruxton Bonnie and a Street Triple.

MV Agusta F4 1000 Tamburini (I know they're expensive to start with, but it's always been a dream bike) and if I really had to part with the trumpet. I'd probably have a k2 sv650 in the 2001 rare yellow that was my first bike

Hmmm lots i want (list is huge) but if i had to keep them then a Ducati Diavel and a Harley 1200 iron

Fazer 1000 original carby model for longer trips
And another one for shorter trips. Dont really need two!

I'm lucky enough to have more than one bike already, but tend to think of my Street Triple as my actual bike as it's the one with some actual value to it.

So if I had to swap the Street Triple I'd probably want something similar. I always used to want a Ducati Monster. Found them a bit small though (in the 600cc-ish capacity I was looking for at the time) and quite expensive and that's how I ended up getting an SV a few years back. I'd want something to compliment it, either as a heavier faired tourer (probably a better condition VFR than the one I have) or something off road capable with a bit more power than the CRF that I had. So for me it would be...

Ducati Monster 1200
Suzuki DRZ400 (?)

I wouldn't mind that combo. Always loved the look of the Thruxton.
