I got nothin'.......I am not a good role model as I have several bikes.
My Savage Cafe' is a fun bike to ride on a sunny day - but it doesn't have any luggage room and the seating position is not optimal for traveling long distances. I have a "me" sport touring bike, and a bigger "we" sport touring bike to take when the wife wants to go......and I am working on a Savage project that will convert the cruiser into a bike resembling a 60's era British single (not an exact replica but one that will have an upright seating position).
Every year or two I feel the need to play with another bike. A few years ago I bought a Ninja 250 with a blown engine, and after replacing the engine with a used one I put about 10,000 miles on it and it was a really fun bike. I bought a Honda S65 barn find a few years back and got it running...then after riding it for a few months I sold it. Last year I got a project Suzuki Hillbilly 80cc bike and replaced cranks seals, forks seals, fixed a number of oil leaks, new chain and sprockets.....and just sold it. My next project is a Honda CB125.
I have also wanted to explore the Buell Blast....not sure why? The Ninja EX500 is an excellent bike bargain and would be even more capable than the little 250 was. I really like the BMW R1100RS.....and it a nice one came along I might have to try that for a while!
It is important to buy at a low price - as selling the bike is a bit hard in the current market. There are far more sellers than buyers in today's market. Folks "our age" are getting rid of their collections, and a number of folks who felt the urge to own a bike have decided it is not what they expected. The Covid event has also made it somewhat difficult to obtain factory parts, and sometimes you have to wait a very long time to get OEM factory parts. My goal when selling is not to make money or even get paid for my labor - if I can break even for the cost of the bike and the replacement parts I feel I have gotten a good deal!
The blue BMW is not mine......but if I come across a nice one it would be hard for me to resist!
