So, if Buell was not an option what would you have? Think it might be interesting to see if there is a common thread here. I'd get, in no particular order: Ducati - a/c only - many to choose, 851 a favorite Moto Guzzi V7 and such HD Sportster pre-rubber, Stortzed out BMW twin before silly suspension and electronics Laverda - sex on wheels Kawi 500 triple | ||

Well, seeing the XB12X has been discontinued in this part of the world, sadly it's more than just a hypothetical to me. Triumph Tiger probably. | ||

I can afford but one bike. If not the S1 it would be one of these: KTM 690SMR Suzuki DR650SE Ducati M900 Cafe'd XL1200N MZ Skorpion | ||

(in no particular order) Triumph Thruxton kawasaki ninja 650 suzuki sv1000 or 650 the now defunct harley street rod nightster ducati monster | ||

Hey D-D, are they just sellin the XT in your neck of the woods, now? | ||

In all honesty it'd probably be an SV1000 or Speed Triple. It'd have to be a good street bike. | ||

Or a Thruxton | ||

cafe raced out Sportster! V-Rod or maybe the Road King I've been riding lately!  | ||

I'd get a air cooled BMW or perhaps a Guzzi. I really like the BMW R1200R, it reminds me of my Cyclone. | ||
| Darthane |
...definitely a Duc Monster. I absolutely love the looks of the new 696. | ||

The Ducati super motard and that new 850cc BMW GS look pretty good to me, though when push came to shove, I am not sure I could pay that much for a bike. The super duke looks cool in theory, but again, its a bit pricey, and perhaps a bit to edgy to really live with. Maybe an SV-650 with a GSXR front end grafted on... To be honest, it would probably be a 450cc single, with two sets of wheels (one for dirt and one for the road). It would have to be a street friendly one though, maybe the Yamaha or the KTM? Don't know that much about them. And I would probably be rebuilding its motor a lot  . Glad there was a Buell to choose! | ||

FXR and an Aprilia | ||

"in no particular order" A Ducati, or a BMW, or a Yamaha YZ1, or most likely just some older bike that I wouldn't know the make/year/model of until I decided it was the one to buy. I don't like shopping with pre-conceived notions, might miss something good. Kind of like walking into a restaurant looking for a burger and totally missing the tuna steak sandwich because all you could think of was a hamburger. Damn, now I'm hungry, and I want another bike too. | ||

Easy enough. BMW, most likely the R1200R as that is their best "Do everything" model. I just HATE the linked braking system they use these days. Of course, there is always the KTM Superduke that I had my eye on originally before I bought the XB12Ss. Other possibilities are the Suzuki Bandit, the Yamaha FZ-1 or maybe the Speed Triple. | ||

>>Hey D-D, are they just sellin the XT in your neck of the woods, now?<< yep. H-D Aus' decision - they don't sell enough to support both models so it's the XT - but it ain't me. I'll probably just import a Uly myself when comes time to upgrade - or get a tigger with the tall seat. Still want a few more yrs outta the 06 first though. And i'll do me knuts over something else in the interim no doubt. | ||

gsxr 750 is a pretty good bike if i could not have my fire bolt that would be my next bike | ||

When I bought my bike in early 2000 as a leftover it was between it and the Speed Triple. So there you have it. But I believe I made the wiser choice this time. Cityslicker, I had a friend who had a GN for a little while, good choice to put one in the garage! | ||

Got to be be a twin... I'd probably have a newer monster now that Ducati has changed their maintenance program and cost.. I got offered a damn good deal on a new Aprillia RSV1000 and almost pulled the trigger... Insurance price was a deal killer.. The SV1000 have really caught my eye as of late.. Another bike I've always loved is the RC51 even though they stopped production for the time being... | ||

So, if Buell was not an option what would you have? *cough* Yamaha Sorry  | ||

Like the RC51 the SV1000s is now discontinued as well... edit The naked SV1000 has been gone for a while (Message edited by interex2050 on June 02, 2008) | ||
