Ideas for something different
Discussion
So you all made me buy an S1000RR. :-)
I’d like something to keep along side it for more relaxed use. Steady rides on warm days etc. Something that isn’t a sports bike and gives a totally different ride. Cruisers, classics, trail bikes... loads of possibilities I guess. Anyone got a good answer for an ideal two bike garage?

Yes, if you want modern no issues, something like a triumph scrambler maybe, or an injected Royal enfield, really fun to bob about on at 60mph.
Or go classic. I would suggest classic jap stuff, 70's to 80s? CB350? GT380? Even something like a Honda superdream! Fairly mundane, but cheap enough and hold their value. Interesting when you park em up at a bike meet, too.

Good God No - Just No.....They were awful when they were new I had a few as get to work bikes and even then I regretted it every time - absolutely no redeeming features - bland engine sod all bhp and torque and overgeared so that maintaining 60-70 required constant cog swapping......
Hmmmm.... I’m liking the idea of something very different / other end of spectrum.
I like Ducati Monsters etc, but I owned one before and tended to use it still as a sporty bike. I think I want something either relaxing or so slow there’s no point having thoughts of going fast on it.
Like the idea of something 70s / 80s, like the idea of the Royal Enfields, and maybe older trail bikes etc.... Going to be tricky finding examples to try out.
