Ok R6 has gone............... time to start thinking about the next one....

It should preferably be... :)

V Twin or Triple, including the sound track
Upright and Naked
Decent Power/Torque
Be able to carry 2 if need be and still look good with just rider
Look amazing :)
Not cost the earth.........

And your offers would be??? :)

Triumph Speed Triple in Black.

TL1000R, gotta be done once surely ;)

Yer and as Bravo said, Speed Triple (in black, yumm, taste Bravo) :D

Ooops, just notice the upright and 'naked', thats gonna be hard...

Speed Triple - Yep on the list :) 955i engine , some decent cans .... smiles for that one

TL1000 - heard one the other day, what a great noise. Handling comments from people worry me . Anyone comment who owns one?


List extended to Semi-Naked, partially upright...

At this rate I'll be back to an SP2

:)

Breaks the Twin rule... but Kwacker Z1000... Blade engine in a retro look..

V max ?

Stopping could be a problem though !

you've set me off now :rolleyes: just been on auto trader for an hour :D


kev :)

PG

V-Max?

Going round corners might be a problem too :eek:

;)

nothing in the list of requirements about stopping or going round corners though;):p

I found a company in America (http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/bmwturbos.htm#k1200) that could sell me a turbo kit, took the BHP upto between 200 and 275 depending on what boost you ran.

Lovely fitting, the turbo went where the cat currently sits.

Couldn't find anyone prepared to insure it though so had to abandon the idea.

LOL @ Vmax suggestion. Only buy one of these if you have your own private runway to ride it down! :D

I think Speed Triple has to be the way to go here, it matches all your criteria. Something like a Ducati Monster matches most of the criteria but would prefer British over Italian any day :D

If you rated bikes on how hard they looked, then the Speed Triple is a double hard bastad having a bad day :D

What about that naked Aprilia Mille thingy, the name escapes me.....big twin, sit up stance and a bit different etc.

Altho the Trumpet does sound mean as. :)

I'm probably going to swap my 748 for one of these ;).
Fit's your description.

Aprilia Tuono - excellent bike - best of the naked 1000's I reckon.

What about BMW 1150R Rockster - not my choice but had good review from a mate of mine.

aprilia tuorno (or whatever its called) gets my vote

maybe also the very ugly new ducati

(im thinking of replacement my vtr with something along similar lines...)

Ok on the list is......

Triumph Speed Triple
Kwacker Z1000
Aprilla Tuorno


Also added after an amazing ride.. :)

Buell X9 Lightning with DynoJet- handled very well, great noise.... power was down a bit
