2023: What new bike are you planning on buying?

McQueen216 · 01-01-2023, 02:22 PM

Just kidding. No one plans on buying a bike. We all know that. Sh*t just falls out of the sky and lands in the garage.

Emerikol · 01-01-2023, 02:29 PM

I hope not!! There's no room in my garage for anything else! I don't ride the ones I've got enough as it is...

McQueen216 · 01-01-2023, 03:21 PM

So, definitely two for you. Got it.

Lifan KPT 400 if the EPA doesn't drag it's feet approving them this year.

Bruces · 01-01-2023, 06:51 PM

I have 3 crf450 Honda’s on order again for this season ,last years bikes will become spares .

Falkon45 · 01-01-2023, 09:05 PM

I'm gonna sell the KPM. Need to actually register the damn thing. I've just been riding it with the mt-10 plates on it.

I still want an RX4. But, with the price going up on it, and no need to commute by bike anymore, I might just start thinning the herd.

Were there plans for a bigger one, though? If so, I can see my spring/summer work commutes to Louisiana being 2 wheeled adventures.

Here is my list of possibilities "if a great deal comes along"; (no particular order)
650 Vstrom
Versys 650
Triumph Bonneville
CSC SG400
VSTAR 900 or 1100
Vulcan 650 or 900
Harley 883
Yamaha Bolt
Honda VT1100

Nice list, quite a variety! I've owned 3 on the list, the wee strom, Versys and vt1100. The versys has the most fun engine in my honest opinion but the wee strom is more comfortable. You ought to check out the Lifan KPT 400 like Jerry is waiting on, it looks like a killer bike. That one is tops on my list for this year if it ever makes it through all the hoops.

It's more complex than that. I need to liquidate my Tao Tao Rhino, and the Victory KP before anything. They just sit now. Found a buyer for the Rhino last night. Local lady who has a two mile dirt road between her and her daughters house. Perfect.
THEN, I'd like to add a Harley Sprint in the collection. Trying to stay obscure.
Of course, the DRZ and Q are my go-to bikes.

Thumper · 01-02-2023, 02:55 PM

This might be the year for a 40 hp liquid coooled 2-stroke for me.

No, not the GPX. It is too expensive. But I too have to sell something before I buy, or at least get something listed for sale. Effort counts

McQueen216 · 01-02-2023, 04:24 PM

What is with all of this, “I have to sell before I buy” negativity?

You all are turning 2023 into something negative right out of the gate!

wheelbender6 · 01-02-2023, 05:08 PM

You can donate your old bike to Public Television. They may take quads too.

Not a negative. I have two Templar X 250s and trading one for a lighter faster dirt bike makes me smile

Late model Gold Wing to convert to stadium supercross.
Or maybe an Icebear Champion to convert to a Batcycle.

I just want to finish the projects I have.
