2nd bike?

dantama · 01-09-2009, 01:05 PM

Lets do this one again now that we have so many new guys.

If you had more money, or more parking spots, what other bike/bikes would you have?

I'd have a Vmax for short fast rides, and a KLR dual sport for off road riding.

What would you have in addition to a Nomad?

The server isn't big enough :)

Add something exotic like a MV
then a 'Wing - well, because
then I'd like some version of a KTM dualsport
and a Mini-trail 70 (green please)
and finally, give me the new Voyager today so I will be the only one with one

this should be fun

I'd like to have my '98 Yamaha Venture back if I could. Lost it when the wife & I got smoked by that deer.

MikeInFla · 01-09-2009, 01:46 PM

Probably get a Harley Street Glide (Bike Night), Gold Wing (Cross Country Trips), and maybe last I would get a Yamaha FJR (need for speed)

Since I have limited funds my Nomad does everything all the other ones do

**coacha** · 01-09-2009, 01:49 PM

A KLR or KTM for dual sport stuff. A BMW 1200 LT or similar for some long distance stuff. Some type of bobber to just bump around on.

cactusjack · 01-09-2009, 02:30 PM

I'd buy a Goldwing for long trips, an GSX-R1000 to go fast and an Electra Glide just because I've always wanted one.

phenrichs · 01-09-2009, 02:55 PM

I'd have a BMW 1200LT for long trips. And I have always wanted a Ducati monster S4. A dealer told me once that it was patterned after thier 916 superbike and if you change the cams and knock a tooth of the front sprocket the 916 won't stand a chance. Wouldn't mind a bobber with some ridiculous large motor for around town fun.

presently looking at maybe honda shadow, but its for the wife

bear · 01-09-2009, 04:10 PM

Knucklehead just for fun!

Triumph Bonneville - love a vertical twin exhaust note!

Ninja ZX-14 just to scare the c#@p out of myself!!

bobzinger · 01-09-2009, 04:27 PM

I'd like to have an adventure bike..like a:
KTM 990 Adventure

BMW F800GS

**Top Cat** · 01-09-2009, 04:48 PM

I'd buy the new Yamaha 950 touring bike and the Harley CrossBones.

phenrichs · 01-09-2009, 05:01 PM

bobzinger those look fun. I bet my body would ache sumpin fierce the next day.

dabull · 01-09-2009, 05:54 PM

crotch rocket...as long as its fast;)

novijoe · 01-09-2009, 06:02 PM

Well I haven't ridden one yet but I'd get a HD crossbones. I Like the look of that bike for an around town scoot.

oldbikers · 01-09-2009, 07:07 PM
