Title: What would be your next motorcycle?
Post by: matap on July 13, 2017, 08:11:07 AM
If money was no issue and it didn't matter if your rode two-up or not what would be your next bike? (include a photo if you can)

for me it would have to be a Triumph Thruxton 1200 R

I ride with the Triumph group sometimes. Kevin is a Thruxton fan. Puts knobbies on it and rides the back roads of Big Bend twice a year.

I want to try an Adventure type bike. Money no problem, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure.

To clarify, I plan on riding my Street Glide until I cannot ride any longer.  However, I have been eyeballing a used FZ07 as a possible second bike...very light and lots of pep.

This may sound strange coming from the mouth of a hard shell 1800 rider but I've wanted a Harley, yes it's true Rocket, for awhile now but nothing out there in their line really tickled my fancy until I saw this one west of Llano about 20 miles at a bar one day. It looked like me and I'd love to have it.

I would just like for my home life to settle down enough so I can go put a rear tire on my 1800 and ride it. Well, after I get it inspected and registered again. LOL. Connie and I tried to get some rides going when we first moved here but didn't get a lot of response either.

All you need is one bike and a full tank brother.

On second thought I think I'm going to purchase myself a 2017 or 2018 Harley Davidson Road King Special

Give us a call. Even if we're off sailing, we'll return your call and let you know one way or the other.

Ok.  So I may have jumped the gun but I really wanted it.  Vivid black Road King Special.  You know this Milwaukee 8 motor is pretty damn impressive.  better than the Twin cam 110 Scream Eagle

Meet Da King

 :congrats: Nice new bike.   you just traded cause I told you that the Slim was the new girls Harley.  :stickpoke:

This is what I should have gone with but this was a mid-year release model.  wasn't even available until April-May and I barely got this one they sell so fast.  This was the last one on the floor anywhere.  They have to wait until next month's truck brings a few more.

I don't know why... but I really want a Grom.   Monkey fornicating with a football comes to mind...... but i still want one.

I think I want one of those too.   I saw a couple guys riding them around Gruene and man they sure look convenient getting around those tubing camp grounds.

Put some knobbies on it and you got a Duel sport that you can ride or carry anywhere.
