My Trike!!!!

My next bike...TBD. Currently on the list:
BMW K1200R
Suzuki V-Strom
Triumph Tigre
Yamaha FZ6 or FZ1

Basically, I think my next bike will be a semi-faired/minimally faired sport-touring type bike. I want something that I can put hard bags on, can still lean it over in the turns, and will be comfortable for long rides. It'll probably be a couple years though...

I like Andy's V-Strom.. Nice ride, tall, and sticks out from the crowd.

You always know when you see him on the road.

I haven't ridden any of the K bikes yet.. I was told if I don't want to make the payments to stay off of 'em. BUT you don't have to buy one if you just want to take one out for a ride... The K1200R is a ROCKET!

8.5 gallon fuel tank, gets over 50 miles to the gallon (I think 60 is advertised), and from what I've heard it looks like a beast but you won't believe the ride or it's cornering ability.. Out of the top 500 cornering bikes (I think PT provided the list) this bike was #5 on the list.. ahead of a LOT of sport bikes.

Another bike I won't test ride until I am POSITIVE I want to buy it.

I'm assuming that is with street tires instead of knobbies?

His is fairly light, also, I believe. I just notice the rabbit and the tin-foil outfit he wears.

Tourances Dual Sport.. even the knobbies you see in the picture are a pretty smooth ride.

I LIKE the FJR.. and the St1300/1400

Kaw came out with a new model this year too, the Concours 1400

Hell, if I was rich I'd own all three of them.

Yeah, I was seriously considering that, but I decided that I wanted less fairing. Plus the fuel economy on it sucks (relatively speaking).

Anyway, when I get around to seriously looking at a new bike, I'll do some analysis to compare all of the potential bikes and figure out which is best for me.
