What will be your next motorcycle?

My next is a Stella Scooter w/ turbofan sidecar. I just need to pick it up and buy the seller dinner at the Saw Shop....
 
I have winter lust for a Triumph 900 GT . Enamored with the 2024 Aragon scheme, came close In December but really want to try this selling a bike before replacing one.

I am thinking about something with a lower seat. Getting hard to get my leg over the seat on the S1000XR even with the low suspension. Never owned a HD or a cruiser. The XR is just works and is so fun to ride. Will see how I feel after my second TKR in May.

Think Boxer ...
Not sure what the actual seat height is on my RS, but it's not a reach for shortish me. 29" inseam.

Nice balance, too with weight down low.

Like your xr though.

I'm totally happy with what I currently have and I have no desires for anything else right now.

However, sometime in the next twenty years I expect that I'll need to get a bike that is a bit shorter. As more and more signs of getting older manifest themselves, I'll begin looking for something lighter, lower, and slower.

I know HD is having lots of problems but I haven't seen anywhere that they are broke. That said Indian is facing the same problems of a diminishing cruiser market but ushering that segment out with water cooled motors and more modern tech. I see they still are offering the FTR's in 25 according to the website.
 
Harley-Davidson shutting down assembly plants and a bunch of dealerships.

While Harley Davidson hasn't explicitly announced they are "broken" and shutting down completely, recent reports indicate that several Harley Davidson dealerships are closing across the country, and the company has experienced production halts at their assembly plants due to issues with components and supply chain problems, suggesting significant financial challenges and operational difficulties; however, they are not currently announcing a full shutdown of all plants and dealerships
 
Totally happy with what I have right now, but being a KTM fan I want to save my beloved brand, so yeah I will buy another KTM/Husqvarna/Gas Gas product this year.
Will it be another 701SM maybe, 390 Dual Sport another strong maybe - especially like many are saying it will be priced around 5K.

And we've yet to see what tariffs will do to the cost of bikes.
 
I just put a deposit on a Lightning…
 
Lightning Spark... As opposed to a Strike. Or a LS218, or a WTF.
 
I change my mind daily but I want to change my CRF250 Rally out with something a little easier to park and easier to get on in packed parking, little more power and lighter. CB300R, 390, CRF250M, etc. Before I had the Africa Twin I traveled on it and stuff. Now it's my intown bike and honestly it's a bit of a PITA.

Only thing I know for sure is it won't be new!!
 
I'm selling almost all my bikes as we're leaving the country this year. I have half an idea to look out for a Beta Xtrainer for playing around on once I land. I've very little desire to do any road riding back in the UK.
