Thread: Need help with next bike suggestions

I currently have a 2005 Ninja ZX6R 636, which I love. But I am thinking about something different. You cant really ride sport bikes the way they were meant to be ridden around here.

So after riding around down straight country roads at 100 over the speed limit I think its time to move on to a different type of bike before I get hauled off to jail or killed(I wear good gear though).

But I am not ready to trade in a 125hp sport bike for a stock Harley or anything like that. I still want something that is quick. Im kind of thinking about a 100hp Sportster or something similar. I like Victory but it seems their following is kind of small so hard to modify.

But the main reason for this post is looking for suggestions for my next bike. Help me out!

Personally, I would jump to Ducati Diavel or Streetfighter if i hav d cash!

I do, but I would rather spend it on getting my business stronger.

I would then go business now bike later as the duc's is where its at.

BLK I was in your same shoes last year. I sold my Busa which was my second one and went with a Harley this time. I was going to kill myself or someone else with my irresponsible driving. I've always owned crotch rockets and loved every single one of them, but I needed to get away from the urge of speeding all the time and get rid of the Busa.

Now I own a 2011 CVO Street Glide. Ordered it from Harley in June of 2010 and received it in September. I've already put over 3k miles on it and loving every minute of it. Plan to ride up to Carlyle, Pennsylvania tomorrow for their bike event. Should be almost 400 miles in one day of riding.

Keep us posted on what you end up going with.

Just bought my bike after looking at everything.

Looked at Ducati's, harleys and similar, triumph's, and all japanese bikes.


Bought a GSX650F. After all the searching decided it had to be an inline 4 for smoothness, a full fairing for wind protection, good gas mileage, and a comfortable riding position. It looks good, its quick, its comfortable, its solid, and 50 mpg.

The only Harley I considered was the V-rod, another cruiser was the Victory Vegas 8 ball. Ducati Monster was considered, those look better in pics than in person imo.

My Suzuki does it all, good size at 500lbs, great looks, orange pearl paint and gloss black frame. Happy with my decision. Hopefully you will enjoy whatever you buy and slow down a bit.

I would go with a triumph Thruxton...love the cafe racer look.

Might I suggest the M109R aka the Power Cruiser

Hypermotard!!!
