The next bike..

[itsbob]

It went on to 110K for me and is at 117K with it's new owner. Nothing but oil changes
and 16K valve adjustments.


I'm working on putting another 100K on it's replacement. The cool thing is that many people
buy these ST1300's and only put on 4K/year and then sell them

I posed a question on another board about the FJR and the ST1300.. ST is looking REALLY good for the "other" bike..

Future plans..

I still have to put another 20 - 30k (2 years MAYBE) on my bike before I start looking seriously for another..

I was TRYING for 100K, but I don't think I'm going to make it..

 

[Plan B]

I have a VF700S Honda V4, and I agree with the many who say it is the smoothest MC engine ever designed.
Get the ST.

I share his dream and his passion. I just don't want to share the loan repayment responsibilities.

I have my own dreams to think about. :familyroom: :newhardwoodfloors: :threecargarage:

I'm thinking one of Bob's Authority Bikes might be my next purchase

I was looking at one at Morton's.. NIIIIICE!

But if I can swing keeping this bike WHEN I get my next bike, I think one 'R' bike would be enough. Though I can't imagine any bike being as easy to work on.

My Venture has 60,000 miles on it and they are good for 120,000 easy ,so it will last me till I am 75, I think then I will buy a smaller bike. As I get older they seem to get heavier and harder to move around ,especially backing up.

I've been toying with the idea of an adventure bike. A dual sport, the KLR650 or the new Versys from Kaw show some promise. The KLR stacked up well against the BMW, Honda, And Suzuki in consumer reports comparisons.

For my next cruiser ( if the day ever comes when I can afford one ) I'm still inclined to go with a Triumph. Most have those classic lines, and the 900 motor puts out a good amount of power for its size.
