I've Made My Mind Up

Post by Smallkat » Sat Oct 30, 2021 3:22 pm

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?
GSX250SS Tinykat (gone, but the hole in my wallet not forgotten)
GSX400SS Smallkat
GT250 X7
GT200 X5
BMW R1250R
VFR750FT

It's faster to break than to repair.

..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.

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