That's nothing most would be 6'7 in the boot's hes wearing

Had some room to fill in the van eh

When we first saw one at the bike show Tone wanted to stick his knob up the exhaust pipe

i wouldn't be riding the fucking thing... i'd beat fuck out of it with a hammer for a while then kill it with fire.

Too much bike for a ponce like you.

Obviously, why would I buy some fake shit?

My KLR does everything just fine.

I like my K1200S, in fact it’s the second one I’ve owned but I don’t think I’d buy another one, I’d probably go for the K1300S which is a much more sorted bike overall. Or a Kawasaki Z1000SX which I like the look of.

I'd buy this Beemer again......cos there's not a lot of choice these days if you want a big Thumper. It doesn't do anything brilliantly......it just pretty much adapts to whatever I need it to do. If I want to go on small trails.....it'll do it. If I needed it to commute around a city, it would do it. And if I needed to ride 1200 miles up to the Eurotunnel then it'll do that as well. So you can't ask much more than that really.

bought a CBF 1000 , picking it up Sunday

i'd have bucksters glide .

My son is coming back from uni for a weekend. The sudden purchasing of ingredients for recipes I know he loves and a strong desire to cry leads me to believe I may have missed him a lot more than Ive acknowledged So definitely lots of cooking and laughter for me and a bit of reloading the bikes for the ferry on Sunday Looks like itll be nice weather.. for ducks!

Let me know and feel free to share your reasons, I would love to hear them. For me it is one easy yes and one not so easy yes. My Honda CB500F is exactly what you expect, a happy Honda that just does what it is meant to do, and it is super fun, so a big Yes for me on that one, I would buy one again. As for my Royal Enfield Himalayan, well, there have been times when I have wanted to leave it in the forest and just walk away. Logic would tell me to say No on this one, considering the build quality and all the work I have done to make a NEW bike run well. BUT, looking back at the skills, lessons, adventures and confidence gained with that bike, I would have to say Yes, I would buy one again, especially for the kind of riding I enjoy doing.

If your circumstances changed tomorrow and you could only have one bike what would you choose ? I would go for a 2021 Suzuki DR650 SE........ Unfortunately , you can't one here. So if one of you guys/gals on the other side of the pond could kindly ship one over I'd be eternally greatful

Already got mine.

As opposed to real shit

I've said this before i was talking to a guy on a new GS years ago and he asked how many bikes i had and at the time i had 5 he said i wish i had enough cash for 5 bikes i told him if he sold his GS he would as all 5 of my bikes cost less to buy, tax, MOT and insure than his GS cost to buy, you just got to be willing not to have the latest and greatest

no idea. Goldwing? do they still make pan europeans? the new tiger 900 rally? i'd have fun trying loads of them...

I would have a kawasaki h2 sx se

if i had the money and room , i would have kept nearly al the bikes i've had.

most of thats the twats head

I would not give up on my bike. But if I were to buy it again i would give the normal GS another couple of test rides before ruling it out.

I would buy the ninja again yeah its all I need from a bike apart from the comfort side of things though im sure with some conditioning I could increase the distance between rest stops from around the current 60 or so miles up to maybe 120 or 130, more of it depends on how fast I can ride at

That aspect is an optional extra on that model I believe!

Except get you home.

be selling the CBF, one of my dads old mates, giving up riding .

My Fazer 1000 has been faultless in all the yeas I have owned it so sure I would buy it again.

Shut up you annoying cunt.

If money and reliability wasn't an issue i think i'd like one of these still remember the noise it made as it rode away from us in the alps @boboneleg aprilia 550 rxv

You know @Richzx6rthey are only as hooligan as you make them.

careful, he's very delicate , he'll announce your on his ignore list shortly

You have to much money.

Yes I'd buy the tiger again cos it's fucking awsome I kept the transalp for so long because I found no other bike on the market capable of doing everything the transalp would do ( kinda ties in with what @XTreme was saying ) but this tiger 800 does all that but faster smoother and better. most modern bikes are too small for me.

I have two already her in doors would blow her top.

Definitely, yes. Though it would have to be second hand as production of my particular model halted in 2019. But.. the upside would be I could get the Silver version.. which looks great. Obviously buying second hand would allow me to be fussy about add-ons and upgrades done to the bike. There are a few that are essential for me. Better seat. luggage. tubeless wheels. Main reason is I'm really quite limited by my height for bikes I can live with over the long term, im 6'7 in my boots. So, I need a tall bike and this is a very tall bike, one reason why it was eventually discontinued. And the competition don't appeal to me, the risks involved with an 'out of warranty BMW, Ive never really been a fan of KTM and what else is there?

Think that applies to Enfield’s in general.

yeh an annoying cunt

I agree, it is fun to have a bike that can adapt to what you are doing. The Himalayan is the same, not great at anything, but damn, the thing will do anything you ask.....well almost....lol

Here’s the bike I would have.

So you can flip it upside down into a tree?

That’s most of us fucked then.

Invest you say, is this a dragons den type investment?

I remember it well, quite a few of my school went there to help. I go there every year on this day or a few days either side to have my own minutes silence. I like Alan @Specs despise how the government took a large amount of money from the apperal fund. I've worked in the area alot and have seen the after math, I had customers in the area who had gone to the school themselves and had lost relatives (Brothers and sister etc) .

There's every possibility but I think its probably in the terms and conditions of sale that you do not under any circumstances touch the stalk with arrows on it

For 15k you’ll get one with indicators

dont blame him... me neither.
