The Buell is definitely going. As are the X5s and Tinykat. The second X7 will have to wait until I finish it.

The big question is.... what next? I like:

Ducati Monster M1200S
BMW R NineT
Suzuki GSX-S1000

I like torquey and I would like some toys. What do you all think?

However if you ride a BMW ,you won't be allowed to a knowledge other bikes ;) :lol: and will just become a -n - other , .
Ducati ...will be fine as you don't like riding in the rain :lol:
Your best option is something unusual and individual.......like a Buel! :mrgreen:

..but if you actually want a bike that always works, without any problems? Indeed, get a nice old Beemer. Mine’s called Cones :roll:

I'd probably go with BMW from your list. If you like torquey then you really want a twin or triple or electric!
I'm sensing you want something new and shiny rather than classic?

I would like something with a 90% chance of coming home under my own steam.

You know I don't ride in the rain. Or cold.

Pretty sure I want a twin of some sort. About a year or two old.
