Time to clean out the shed :eek:
 
My new tact is ...... the bike in the garage is the bike you ride ,then sell or trade for the next bike .

Expcept, my mate only does classics and they just keep going up in price . wtfdik .
 
My first post on this forum. Hoping to picky up my V4s tomorrow. Wife NOT happy, but time will pass as usual. I am usually a two bike rider. Two years ago added a Porsche 911 and got down to one bike. My current bike is a KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. Really love the versatility of this bike and the surprisingly good dirt manners. I run it with knobby tires. The 911 is a corner shredder for sure and I probably go through turns faster in that car then I will on the V4s. The problem is I really miss the lean angles of a good sport bike. I think my wife's hope was that I would ditch bikes and just enjoy the 911. I tried. I really did:)
Did a demo ride on a V4s a couple of months ago (more or less) and was very impressed. I resisted for a long time, but life is short and bikes are fun. For sure plan to keep the KTM. I beat the hell out of that bike off pavement and it just shrugs.

I'm doing renovations on my house and the garage has now been doubled in size :D
 
My second bike is a modded Monster 696. It’s a great comfortable street bike that I can run flat out most of the time. My panigale serves as an occasional reminder of the highest sprectum of performance
 
Versys 650 (dad's)
RC390
Ninja 250R (Track bike that never seems to work)

I'd suggest a naked or touring bike for ultimate comfort. Maybe a Tuono?
 
My Panigale handles full track duty nowadays, I have a MV Agusta Dragster 800. But its up for sale as I don't do much street riding anymore. Looking to getting another track bike.

Love the look of the Dragsters, How does the bike preform on the streets ?

I absolutely love the Dragster. Double can provide good insights here as well.

Below is a post from when I picked up my Dragster RC and some riding impressions. It's my second Dragster (I originally had an RR when they first came out). It's a really fun bike to ride on the street. Plenty fast, high revving, comfy seating position and competent at all things with solid electronics, transmission, quickshifter, etc. The fact that it's gorgeous doesn't hurt either!

Dragster is a ton of fun in the street. Only complaint is the suspension. Its sprung for someone that's about 80lbs in the front and 200+ in the rear.
And there isn't much other there for options to make it right. Rebound is wayyy to fast in the front. I ended up changing oil weight from 7.5 to 15 and it still didn't slow it down enough.
I had Dave Moss set it up for me as well and he said the same. Recommended fork oil change.
Besides that the bike is amazing. I have an SC Projects CRT pope on it and it's toooo loud. Like way too loud. But that just causes my heads to turn.
If anyone is interested it's up for sale and priced pretty good.

This will, at some point, be my second bike.
 
Ended up getting the GSXR1000R. Great bike. Very smooth, no heat, quick shift is good, Light clutch and very easy to take off. Comfortable for long rides cruising.
