Use your time to help me make a decision
My wife had finally agreed that it's ok for me to have another motorbike, despite her dislike of them and believing that they are dangerous. She is correct to an extent that (particularly the way I ride them) they can be dangerous, particularly if I get a sports bike again. Neither of us want our daughter to grow up with only one parent.

Is it irresponsible of me to get another bike?

No, motorbikes are fucking great.
Get a Norton Commando. Your kid will think you are well cool when she's older. You could join the Hell's Angels.

No. I am standing on the shoulders of the entire Internet. As everyone wants to punch you and I won first prize.

I really want a Ducatti. Can't afford one.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 9 Jul 2012, 17:02, Reply)

or spell one, it appears
;)

Ducatis are the only bikes that have seriously tempted me, which clearly shows I only care about looking cool, not actually riding a bike, and therefore is why I've never got one. If that makes sense.

It does. I expect if I decide to go ahead I'll get an R1. Never had a Yamaha. Had a Fireblade before, not sure I want another.

My mate had a heavily re-geared R6.
That was a fun pillion experience.

600's can be great. I had a 600RR before the 'blade. Great bike.
Wondering as I live in London that a GSXR 750 might be better, easier to handle.

A mate of mine used to have a 916 and now has a KTM of some variety and prefers the KTM

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 9 Jul 2012, 17:07, Reply)

Never ridden a KTM so I have no opinion.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 9 Jul 2012, 17:10, Reply)

This is the internet experience or knowledge is not necessary for an opinion

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 9 Jul 2012, 17:11, Reply)

Certainly not in your case.
