new bike......... when?

as you may be aware im looking for a new bike......... but why?

when do you decide to buy a new bike?

i understand if its beyond repair, but there is nothing wrong with my bike now,


any thoughts

Examine the following:
1. I fancy a new bike
2. I try and self-justify said bike
3. I try and afford said bike
4. I buy said bike

Time from 1 to 4 can be variable.

How much harder than that can it be?

Why? - cos you will always want something better/faster etc

When? - when its affordable!!

Changing from Bandit to daytona - Bandit needed new tyres... convinced myself I was bored with it

Changing from daytona to GSXR, Fitted new discs to Daytona but bits of other work needed doing and convinced myself I couldn't be bothered to do em...

Hovis

Considering you hail from the wrong side of the hill, your a bit too loose with them purse strings.

When to buy a new bike. In my case when the missus is not looking. she found the SV and GSXR in the garage fait accompli

So what do you fancy this time Hovis? You've had eric the v-twin, boris the IL4, the single with no name.........is it going to be V4 power next???

You only bought the blade 2 minutes ago!

I would buy a new bike when my SV dosnt do what I need it to. Currently, I'm thinking of getting a second bike as a better trans-london commuter, something upright, something fuel injected. Maybe a pointy naked SV

Mind you, its only a thought. I dont have the money, and having two SV's would be pretty silly, I'd be better off getting somerhing completly differant so I can still enojoy the 650s for what it is (a sporty machine) and get something really not sporty (CBF500 stares at me for this)

Of course, one day I will have to buy a honda SP2.
