keny Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 So I´m a bit bored, recovering from a bad crash on my MTB (over bar, head in base rocks...helmet cracked...) I had some 10 day back and just have to stay still. What can you do, well do plans and dream. All need a dream to live for right. So what would you dream of if you had a Garage that fits in max 5 bikes and 50000€/$/£ on your account for bikes/parts/tools? My Garage would hold my current RC24 that I would restore better than I now will, Trade my Yamaha XT600Z Tenere for a Honda XRV650 Africa Twin, buy a RC30! The thing I can´t be sure about is if I would keep the 3rd gen and repaint it RED or sell and buy a 2 stroke...Yamaha TZR250(2MA)...or early Suzuki RGV250.....Ofcorse I could do both, still would be 5 bikes, but I would like a hard core enduro bikes as well, a 250cc 2 stroker...new or used the money left would decide. KTM 250 EXC would be high on my list I give you the ball.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'd get over it, but I want to try a fun, 2-stroke sport bike. A Kawi triple would be even better, but probably even more expensive and fickle.

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted September 6, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2016 Everyone should try a two stroke. If I had the money and the space I would have more of them. It's too bad they cost so much now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Bent Posted September 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2016 Being a dud, my garage already holds one VFR (interceptor?) in it and that's all I want. That's enough after it holding four motorcycles for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR4Lee Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm thinking 8th gen VFR DLX with Honda bags, recent Ducati Monster, and keep my newer Aprilia Tuono. Although the older one rocks! So..... Maybe a newer V4 model. Use the rest of the money to pay a mechanic to come over once or twice a month to maintain so I can ride more. Hey, I'm not Jay Leno here. Three is maybe a bit much in terms of how much time I have to ride. Two might be better in reality (what's that?). Also break down and hire a gardener to free up time spent mowing and such for more riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
