Ever regretted selling a bike?

[HG125]

Not with a bike...but with a car? Yes.

Back in the day, had a 1970 Chevelle with a 427, 4sp.
I still think about it...

Out of the 7 bikes I have sold/traded-in I only regret one, my '08 BMW F800ST. I found it in South Carolina with 600 miles on it. A guy had bought it for his wife who barely ever rode it. He had it factory lowered and it was pristine. I love it but little things started bothering me about it (tpms had failed, bags were super expensive and not great for those) and the knee angle started to hurt my knee after about 3 hours. However, I loved the belt drive, the sound, and how nimble it was. If anything every happens to my viffer I will probably try to find another or an F8GT, or stay in the VFR family. Thats it, I love those two bikes.

I hear ya! The TransAlp was only imported from 1988-1990. The final year was the brown copper black...? Previous years were blue and white with red?

Anyway, the NX / Dominator was a great trail bike. Being that it was a single 600cc. The TransAlp was pretty decent too. I used mine on the SheetIron300. Check my BARF Ride Report from back in 2003 (?).

Either bike is almost bulletproof.

It sounds like you need a Honda NC700X

Ya know at my age now. Pretty much every one.

Granted I could not give them room in my garage, but every one stirred my soul in one way or another.

I feel much the same way, except, realistically, every new bike I bought really was better than the last.

Having said that, I don't change bikes all that often, compared to many guys on this board.

 

[Beauregard]

Yeah, I wish I hadn't sold either of my 2008 HM1100S Ducs. I sold them to the same dude too.

If I'm going big, the xr1000 seems like the ticket for us poor people.

 

[Doberman]

Funny. I have never sold a bike.
I own my 1st love 87 CBR and 4 others.

From selling bikes to a blind guy to your bike history, I always enjoy reading what you have to say.

Thank you, Annie.

The blind guy was a first for me.
