Thinking About Buying Another Bike But My 900RS does it all!

[FocusRS3]

As above,
I always look at other bikes/brands and love the idea of other bikes but that damn 900RS does it all so well It seems to cover all the bases.

I look at extremes from a Panagali to Harleys and come back to thinking I just wouldn't get so much more out of one of these that its worth it.

Silly dilemma and post really but there you have it

I’m similar, but current bike does everything very well for me. I’ve had it over a year now and 11,000 odd miles. I can’t find a better replacement out there.

I think you need to test ride the H2. Then get it mapped etc.... (I haven’t got an H2)

I can see me keeping he RS for a very long time if not for good.

The H2 is a rocket ship for sure but I really dont need that power. Still, be nice to have :-)

I look at buying maybe an old classic but then it would probably be rubbish to ride.

My RS in Akashi looks the business too

I will be finished with motorcycle commuting this week.. time to retire my Bandit 1250, mileage is up above 40k now so probably not worth much so will leave in the garage and get a second bike.

I fancy a 90's or very early 00's sports bike.. I was lusting after a ZXR750 but now fancying a ZX12R or early Busa.

Yes good choices there I think.

Are you and the bike retiring or are you using a different mode of transport ?

I wish.. new job gave me a company car, so motorbike is no longer required for commuting in all weathers and now I can have something shiny for weekend use only.

I’m kind of looking at 900rs cafes, new job is more 9-5 than I’ve ever done as previous work was on oil rigs with three weeks off at a time.

This has had a big impact on biking time and I can’t just bugger off for a few days when I feel like it!

Now considering trading my Triumph explorer for the z900rs as I’m unlikely to be doing as many big runs. Plus it looks ace.
The main problem is that the explorer is a really capable bike and I’m a big bloke so most other stuff feels pretty small!
The explorer is also paid for...

You can pick up used RS's for mid 8k's now which seems good value for a keeper.

I pushed the boat out on mine from new but its going nowhere, at least whilst I can afford to keep it
