Only sportbikes i would own again would be a twin. Another RC51 or a TLR, or even a 998...

Or an RC8..... Yum...

But the bike I really want is the Ducati 1100 Hypermotard. I am in love with that.

But between the Harley, the arctic Cat, and the truck im looking to buy in the near enough future, it will be a couple of years before I can realisticly afford another new motorcycle. Ill be car loan free in 6 months (for about a day), and i'd like to pay off the sled in the same time frame. But i still owe about 19k on the Harley. I'm all toy'd out.

Plus, next winter im considering trying a snowmobile endurance race with a friend of mine (team race), which is going to cost about 6000$ total (between two people).

Im gonna be bike poor for a while...

I cant see myself riding anything other than a 750. Possibly an 848 or even a Daytona 675.

A Sport-tourer is next on my list.. so I can actually do long trips on my own bike without crippling myself.

Tracy's been eyeballing BMW's and *groan* Goldwings.. so who knows, I might just inherit the Busa.

I wouldn't mind a little cruiser to boot around on...an addition to the stable.

I can't imagine replacing my current bike. He's too special.

I'll keep the track bike and get something sporty yet more 2up oriented. Probably a BMW

No. When I say BMW, I mean more along the R1200GS variety.

Although, I do like the idea of handing the Busa down to Carolina. I can't promise it won't have 100k by the time she gets it though.
