I gotta be frugal, but this one bike for everything is just impossible in this era of specialization. I really want to get oh, bout 3 to hit all my possible pleasures...Buell 1125 gets me thru the Ozarks and an occaissional track day, need a true off road capable machine like a KLR650, and then a commuter/tourer along the lines of a ZZR600 or FZ6. So I am resorting to selling plasma and sperm to afford all these must buys and the accessories for each...

For the street I'm grabbing a DRZ. Great street bikes and fun to ride.

I'll race the R6 for at least a couple seasons, then replace it with another R6 and race that.

I'd like to pick up a race tard and do a race or two on that each weekend as well.

I'll be picking up a cheap dirt bike and getting into that a little bit too.

I didn't know this was a multi option thing.... weeeelllll if i must....

Street/track- 07/08 zx-6r or 05/06 zx-6r 636 or 07 CBR600RR (sweet ass powder blue/silver version)

Touring- 2002+ VFR800 Interceptor

But this requires money... of which I have none. I'm game for the plasma.... but with my genetics (overweight, family heart history, family cancer history) they would laugh me out the door!!! I heard you get good money for it though....

I"m constantly changin my mind. but right now I'm torn between two Hondas, the 09 CBR600RR, and the VFR800 Interceptor, an 09 R1, or potentially a WR250X for street/hooliganism. right now, the VFR is pretty much winning since it has a saddlebag option and the cool V4 I love so.

Same here. I was thinking about this thread while I was in class today and must have came up with 7 or 8 different bikes that are very real possibilities for my next one. Hopefully within the next year Ill be shopping and actually decide.
