What Do You Fancy For Your Next Bike ? - Page 4 - SV650.org

well thankyou all for replying, some good answers.

I have only had my SV for about 10 weeks, and am far from a master of it. I bought it after reading lots of reviews and believing it an ideal bike to return to riding again. So far I am happy and enjoying the bike very much, but can see that after a year or two I would like more of a challenge, especially for some long distance trips, and maybe an SV1000s with an aftermarket more comfy seat would be good [ still with the V-twin feeling ] or a faser 1000.

It's funny how awesome and massive an SV650 would have looked to me when I was riding an CG125 in 1989. But after 10 weeks of owning one, it just seems to me like a nice little bike.
. . . or it did, until my neighbour's lad came around and showed me his 2 stroke 125

My next bike's most likely to be 2 bikes... And it won't be for at least a year or two barring the untimely death of the SV. And I predict it'll be:

Fazer thou or 636, and my SV, but nakedised and rendered impractical... Or
My SV left as it isfor daily use, and a proper 7/11.

If the SV bites it, then it'd almost certainly be an older Fazer thou and a nakedised TL1000S...

Can't be decided - only just replaced my red SVS with a red SVS. But always have had my eye on a 'busa!

I probably need a wake up call, but I quite fancy an 800 monster.

anu problems with that?

BMW1200GS for me

I really like the idea of a big naked bike next, like an MV Brutale or the Suzuki B-King.

But... then i saw the pics of the new R6 and the new Triumph 675

Toying with giving up the car all together so then I could have two bikes... problem then is do I go for one that's practical (Deauville, XJ900) to go with my present bike (head view) or for something more exciting (heart tug)?

In my previous incarnation as a biker I always wanted a Moto Morini and am now sorely tempted by their re-appearance or alternatively like the look of the Breva V1100... on the other hand there's the Speed Triple, Z1000... but I do like Honda build quality: Blackbird?

It's not difficult to work out how I answered the poll...

well my KS unfaired will be my race bike and i only last week got myself a RS250 for the road so i guess it will be a while before chez chunky see's another new bike but after haveing the K3 out on the ride for a couple of short test blasts i have to say i might well go for a K5 faired or maybe even a SV1000 providing i can find one cheap enough and the insurance company dont want to bend me over with the premiums
