Not really, waiting to see if the Spped 1160 materialises, the new Street RS looks nice but is it enough to make me upgrade?? Aprt from that nothing.

Lots to potentially excite.

Dampened by how much they cost. I'd give my right nut for a V4 Streetfighter but I no longer have £18k to spend on a bike.

Yeah prices are getting crazy...not sure they are worth the money manufacturers are asking these days.

2020 Africa Twin.

Still yet to sit on a Yamaha T7 despite patiently bobbing along to the dealers well after the launch date only to be told they were all sold and come back in a month or two maybe.

All pipe dreams at the prices they charge these days.

Keeping my eye out for a nice 888.

Also quite fancy a nice custom build cafe racer.

New bikes? They're all ace, but nothing makes my bollocks tingle.

The Ducati streetfighter v4 will be some machine. If only I was a joiner. 😉

Exhausts are easily sorted. Faces are not. Blame the Eurocrats for that.

The new Z is minging but I'd be very interested to see how it rides.

Function over form.

It's only a 1st impressions comment...it may well be that it works in the flesh...the H2 that it's based on looks better outside than it does on a showroom floor...how that happens I'm not sure...but it does.

The new 790/890 KTM supermoto. Hopefully as good as my KTM old 950 sm.

out is awful, looks like there are 3 bikes layered on top of each other.

It's gonna need to be fast so people can't see you on it

only the streetfighter v4 for me, I was going to hold out until it was released, but would never have been able to afford.

£19750.00...It's never worth that...BMW S1000R or Speed 1160 will be where I spend next.

Post by: Alzo on October 25, 2019, 08:25:41 AM
Well it's fair to say the release of the ZH2 and V4 Streetfighter has not ignited my fire...no doubt riding either would be a blast...but one is so ugly it's offensive...and the other is so expensive it's not even in the running...and if it follows the same route as the 1st incarnation of the Panigale V4 it will never be out of the dealers receiving updates or upgrades.
Roll on the release of the Speed 1160 or the S1000R.

Dare I say 200 BHP for a naked bike on the road is utterly pointless unless you enjoy waving your penis in front of other men in the pub.

I have a feeling the 1160 will be the pick of the bunch for road riding.

I'm off to enquire about a new 765 RS this weekend.

Title: Re: Any exciting you....
Post by: Alzo on October 25, 2019, 08:34:45 AM
I think the Street 765 RS will be a fun package...plenty enough go.
Title: Re: Any exciting you....
Post by: terry950sm on October 25, 2019, 09:02:26 AM
I reckon around 100 bhp is ample for road riding.

Post by: Alzo on October 25, 2019, 12:00:04 PM
It's not all about what horsepower is available...it's about how the bike delivers...for example the new S1000RR is quick...207bhp....but by the time it starts getting in to its peak power you run out of space...my 165bhp S1000R is in its sweet spot well beforehand...so it is more usable and as quick on the road.

Post by: Kitb4460 on October 26, 2019, 04:39:02 PM
Nothing worth looking at as my Z900RS Cafe is a keeper. :cool:  :cool:

Has about 110 bhp now that downpipes are on and no cat. Plenty to keep me grinning.

No need for 200 plus penis waving horses on 2 wheels for me.. British road conditions see to that

And my ability  :rofl:  :rofl:

I'm very interested to see the Aprilia RS660. I suspect it will be mega expensive but I'd be very keen on a corner speed monster!

It was to the extent a flat-barred bike can manage it.

I will probably go backwards next year.
Get rid of the 1290gt. Keep the 450 and purchase a good used ktm950sm.job done

Well under the radar.

New MV Augusta Brutale 1000RR is the best looking new bike out there by a country mile.

I still wouldn't buy an MV...but does look good.

Thought I had put something on here previously but maybe it was my imagination lol

New Z1000SX floats my boat and looking forward to getting a ride on one in the new year, BMW R1250RS also still appeals.
Have toyed with the adventure bike thing but ruled it out now and tbh taking my GSXS in for service the other week reminded me how much fun I can have on it albeit perhaps only without Julie on the back....

Nothing out there that makes me want to get rid of the MT. Spent a fortune getting it how I want it so it's going nowhere!
