Only 5 months ago I didn't even have a bike license and now I've gone from buying this ...

Changed it to this ...

And now I want this ...

I'm in a proper dilemma ... as much as I love the Scrambler .. I already yearn something a bit bigger (size + power)

Rest easy child. Coveting as I understand it, only applies to your neighbors wife or possibly his ass. Motorcycles weren't even in the mix back then. In any event, you have done a lovely job customizing your new bike. If you intend to trade it in now, you will take a bath on resale value. Ride your bike, enjoy it, become a better rider. New awesome bikes come out every year, chasing the dream is costly.

New awesome bikes come out every year...

Yes, but not as awesome as RIGHT NOW!! :biggrin-new:

agree 100% with JGM:tranquillity:

Some people have been known to have more than one bike!

I don't buy impulsively, but I'm always on the look out for the next one.

I'm awaiting Indian's release of the FTR 1200.

1100 scrambler??

1100 scrambler??

Not for me. Just does not do it.

 

[Edward Cordovez]

I like the BMW R9T's just not that specific model.

 

[pbiouk]

Not for me. Just does not do it.

I think with a few subtle aesthetical mods like what most people do to the 800 Scrambler the 1100 will look fantastic. Plus, until people have actually taken the 1100 on a test ride I think it's a bit hasty to say that they don't like the bike purely based on pictures from the internet and having spent 10 minutes looking at it as a bike show.

1100 scrambler??

Love the Sport. Hate the dual exhaust. I would immediately change the exhaust to be all on one side.

Me too!

Latest rumor I heard (rumor, just a Facebook rumor!) the street FTR is going to be a 750, in which case I'd be hard pushed to let go of the Sled.

I love the looks of the FTR1200, it's amazing, but if it doesn't look like the prototype they showed, or it's a 750 I don't see myself buying it...I really want more grunt, not less.

Let's wait and see bhp and torque. The track FTR is a 750.

 

[Max Kool]

I know that

 

[philgoodscrambler]

Alright Max keep Kool.

 

[Max Kool]

Ok, back in my little corner

 

[ScrambleEgg-Pepe]

I am hunkering a Husqvarna Vitpilen. I thought Svartpilen but, naw, I already have a scrambler. Just want a Cafe Racer.

Demo rode bmw R9T, not bad.

If you want a cafe racer: ThruxtonR.

This weeks MCN compares the Kawasaki Z900RS, BMW R9T Pure, Thruxton Racer ... Lots of retro loveliness.
