What Do You Fancy For Your Next Bike ? - SV650.org

08-09-05, 02:37 PM

If all goes to plan, what do you see yourself riding for your next bike. Assuming your current bike is still running ok and you have got enough money (or credit) to purchase a new or newer bike.

Please reply in the spirit of real-life likelyhood, rather than far fetched pipe dream. So don't assume you have won the lottery, you are the same person just a bit more riding experience.

I got my perfect bike at the start of this year - a raptor 1000 - and I will be keeping it forever because it's wonderful

Probably a sports 600, but not 100% sure. May go for a 1000cc twin. Current choices would be either a ZX6R B1H or SP1 (or 2).

I'd love a new speed triple...
Or a nice new Rockstar...
Maybe
I'd have a sv1000.. though as it more close to what I could afford.

but I'll still keep the SV

I fancy an MV Agusta F4 or a Hayabusa, but will most likely go for a 749S or a GSXR 600.

Glad you put the "Not decided yet option" - will definitely be keeping the SV for at least another year - toying with the idea of a Z750/SV1000N after that and after that I would like a Z1000....

Loooong way off at the moment tho...!

Just noticed my choices, and yes I prefer naked machines!

Sports 600's very, very tempting... as would a 1000 (but too pricey to insure/buy for me)... but for the real world and for the money I have, it's most likely to be an SV1000... more power plus the V-twin feeling and not too bad to insure, etc.

I dont want to lose the SV so walked away...
