14thumper Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Well, I have a CB1000R, ST1300 and a WR250R (plus a very understanding gf ?) to go along with my '14 DLX. Ah heck I'm no help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think if I were to ever get an H-D it would be a blacked out V-Rod Muscle. *Very* respectable performance, and minimal branding of the sort that elicits eyerolling. Dutchy is correct though, one should always get what they like, and not worry so much about others' perception. That being said, I suspect I shall never be "cool" enough for a H-D. Have you seen the Yamaha Stryker? Now, there's a cruiser I think I would enjoy. Yep, rode a Stryker. Thought I was pretty cool until I laid it down . No doubt, ride what makes you happy. Just made the statement mostly to point out that there are usually cheaper, more competent and reliable options. I don't try to lecture Hardley riders on why their bike sucks and they don't bother me for the most part. It's just fun to poke fun. I'll ride a 250 if it makes me happy, I don't give a damn what Bubba on his HDLXHDGF or Lil 'Nilla Wafer on his stretched Busa think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honda1964 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I have an ST1300. Have thought about buying a CRF250. But three bikes I always seem to regret so maybe should just stick to my 2. I have the Pan because it is a brilliant bike and a V4 , this is my second one, but it also the only bike my partner feels at home on and happy to do distance. I always thought my Pans where grown up VFR's ?. So probably why the third bike itch is still there. For me the VFR covers so much of the sports bike and daily stuff, hard to justify anything else like al street bike in my opinion. Not that we need much to justify out bike buying ???. My Pan covers any kind of cruising bikes as it's pretty laid back in its own way, a cruiser would be great to own again but pointless in rainy Scotland. Finally something like a Triumph Bonnie or Thruxton appeals but really just becomes a pretty bike in the garage. So been there and done that and keep doing it, mental expensive addiction?.

Member Contributer windyrun Posted May 21, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2017 a tuono 1100 is the obvious choice :) the tuono is the Mr Hyde to go with Dr Jekyll (VFR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer auggius Posted June 8, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 8, 2017 The VFR does it all well enough to be an only bike. So if I were looking for another bike to complement it, it would be something that couldn't be an only bike. So in ascending order of budget: KTM RC390 Triumph Street Triple Ducati Hypermotard These are bikes that would be a blast on the 50km stretch of twisties that start a few blocks from my home. I used to have the money but no room, now I have the room but no money. Having said that, I do have a Suzuki DR350SE, so maybe I need a third bike.

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted June 8, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 8, 2017 2nd bike to VFR has been a revolving door of used bikes for me. These two are my current favorites. Unfortunately i am forced to sell the Triumph. The FZ1 is a Yamaha VFR with so much motor and stability. Wife says two bikes at a time from now on. HA! She knows nothing. Honda VT1000f SuperHawk is a really tempting choice. They are selling cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsRN98 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just get a "different" VFR. ;-) Seconds on this idea, though a fully-loaded Honda or Yamaha touring bike also appeal. And a dirt bike for practicing handling skills and off-road fun...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
