Either new,a change,or adding to the herd?

I've been toying with a few ideas.

1. A 1972/73 Kawa H2 triple.

2. A 1969 H1

2. Trading the Z1000R for something. (less likely)

3. My old BMW R90S is still for sale. (so far I've never gone back to any model I used to own)

Mostly idle,Winter months musings,but ya never know where it all leads....

Will be buying a new GasGas EC300.
This one will be 4 years old.

The new one is a bit bland but there's a GP limited edition
.

No plans, but that doesn't mean much.

New bike or maybe 2.

Both will have pedals. One or more may have motors

Neither will be petrol

A diesel FS1E?

I'm all out of space now.

You can get aftermarket billet controls for the Gold Star now, to replace the non-matching standard levers. I might change those.

If I can work some sort of financial miracle, there's sn R100GS I have my eye on. Failing that, It's ride the oilheads and the K until they expire.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

In them days I think they needed pedals to be classed as a moped, is that not the case these days.

I've finally been forced into the realisation that if I want any new bikes, I will have to sell existing ones first. So the VFR and the black Falco (when I can get the indicators working) will be going and at some point in the future, so will the Ducati.

This flies in the face of the last 40+ years of motorcycle ownership, which has all been about acquiring...

I look at Dobles website now and again to see what they have second hand but its unlikely
I’m due a refund on something from my last house so if I get that then I want to buy a new shock for the CBR.

Plan is ...
Get the JAPton running...
Swap the extras from Rock 4 to the Ed80
Sell Rock 4
...
PROFIT!


(Or something....)

Nope, only just got my xadv so will either be sticking with that or deciding that I no longer have a bike in the garage!

No plans, and really I need to spend money on a new garage roof and cars for both me and my wife.

Yep, time for a change I reckon

Maybe a new bike will rekindle my enthusiasm. I think I've done less that 200 miles on a bike this year, I used to do that on a Sunday morning.

I can't think of a bike that I really want more than the one I have though

Fell off my bike in September and broke my leg so decided to call it a day as i already have a fair bit of metal work
in my legs . Now the bone has healed i am starting to think again . My BMW will definitely going in the new year [it always was ]
then i might think about a new bike .

I've decided I'm not getting any new bikes unless I ofload 1 or 2 of the current fleet.
My 1985 XT600 qualifies for tax & MOT exemption 1/4/2026 on the 40 yer rule so the plan is to get it back on the road 1/4/2026.It's been on a SORN since 2017 so it'll feel like a new bike to me.
My FZ750 qualifies for tax & MOT exemption 1/4/2027 so that's the next project.
One of my mates has a 650 Transalp so I'll try & do a swap with one of my SV650's for a day out,another mate has promised me a go on his 250LC & I've never rode a Harley & a mate's just bought one so I've also got a ride on that lined up.
TBH I've no interest in all the electronics & ride by wire on the latest stuff so nothing new appeals

I really should do something with my FZ750 and my LC
