I don't need a stable of bikes, but I would like add a white Tiger 1050. The trouble is, I'm on my tippy toes sitting on one. I've nearly tipped over my Bonnie several times on wet days at a local off-camber 4-way stop. My Oxtars would have to be dead-on sticky to not drop a Tiger there. There is a 1.5" lowering kit for it, but I'd like to sit on one that's been lowered to see what that's like.

Something would have to go for me to afford it, though. My Jaguar wouldn't bring in enough for a down payment, and I've already sold all the children in the neighborhood to a sweat shop making t-shirts (Kidding!, jeeze, they were puppies and it was a sausage factory).

I was a multiple Triumph owner until recently, a Bonnie Black and a 955i Tiger. It was fun to have the Tiger for fast runs and the Bonnie for around town. Alas, finances hurt us all. Maybe I'll win the Lotto tonight and then become Bloor's best friend...

2 would be fine for me. My Daytona I have now for sport fun, and a cruiser, well for cruising. If I can afford it when I am ready for something the Rocket III. Else an America. This model has the color I want compared to the Speedmaster.

I'd love to add a Bonnie or a Scrambler to the garage, for a) more relaxed riding, and b) the photos I'd take of the bike parked in front of mesas, mountains, etc.

I would say 2. I have the Bonneville, but would love to get a Street Triple in the garage as well...

Maybe at season's end when they go on sale?

I have a 2001 Sprint RS and a 2005 Daytona 650. I was going to finish it up with a Bonnie T-100 or a Thruxton (2 3 4 cylinders), but my experience with the dealer who sold me my D650 and a not quite as bad experience with the dealer who sold me the Sprint RS has pretty much put me off Triumph. Even when I explained the problem (D650 dies on me after 2 months and when I take it back they re-map the bike and then charge me for it) to Triumph Corporate HQ, I didn't even get a response, nothing....... So screw Triumph, if I get a 2 cylinder (or even another MC) it will be a Ducati.

I suggest two bikes, if you can afford it, if your significant other doesn't hammer you for it, if you can fit them in a secure space that you won't worry about, and if you want variety in your riding.

I, at the moment, am enjoying the holligan experience (and attention) of the 07 T100 with many ongoing mods, and the sport touring ride, when I want a totally different physical/emotional sensation, of a Bandit 1200S.

But I would certainly like at least two more. I lust, all right, I admit it, I'm weak! I absolutely lust for a Speed Triple and I would sell a kidney to get one of the vintage models my dealer restores in the winter months. '67 Bonnie would do it.

Yeah, four is better than two.

I'm down to one bike now which is my first Triumph. I'd like to get a R3 Tourer for longer distance comfort. The Tiger is an excellent commuter which is what I use her mostly for. But an R3T would probably be smooooth, comfortable and powerful for the long haul.....

I have a Speed Triple (my second one) for stunting , track and being a Hooligan, I would like to have a T100 or a Speedmaster, I have an old BMW R90/6 for long distance sport touring, a V-Strom DL-650 for long distance adventure touring, two up riding, camping, and commuting to work in the rain. And finally a GS1100 Suzuki set up as a dragster / cafe for sunday rides.


Ton Up!

ps I am thinking about a KTM next.
