Unfortunately wife gets a new van before I get a new bike. After that I'm leaning at a full blown sport touring machine FJR, st1300, concourse, etc.... or maybe go cheap and get a little dirt bike first, so many choices.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. But I think I would like better a R1200GS, or if that's not in the budget... a cheaper version of it.

This is my first bike. But I'd love to eventually get something more aggressive as a track day bike. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Not unless I hit the Lotto or find I have a rich uncle who left me a ton of money. The wife would have to get a couple of new cars (she's never had one) before I get anything else.

In case anyone is wondering what happened to it.

2nd pic in case the visual reference is too dated for some of you young fellers.

BTW, it's just an airsoft pistol. No Yamahas were harmed in the making of this post.

Mine a 1993 Yamaha Varigo 535.

Sweet bike to ride sounded nice!

Also took me through my first two falls <-- Never lock up your brakes fastest way for you and the road to become one!

But got up looked at my bike and it took no damage!

MY FZ would be in a horrible state if that happened!
