Default Thinking of adding a 954RR to the stable

Well, I'm thinking of buying another bike. I love my Cane and I'm NOT selling her.

My wife started riding last year on an '83 KZ550 which she liked but, she finds it not so good for highway travel in trying to keep pace with me. So,we bought her an '07 ZZR600, Very nice bike.

Now I'm feeling the wish to have a newer bike to .. well.... just because. No real need for one. I am hoping to get a promotion at work soon which means significantly more green and I'm thinking a newer bike would be a nice gift to myself.

Anyways, I'm looking at a 954RR. I've also considered a ZX12R. Heh, every week I'm considering something else. Even thought of the new VFR1200F.

Any words of wisdom from you crew?

I want a 929. I've been looking at them hard, too.
Not sure if I want to sell the KLR, or just have 3 bikes..

The 954 is sweet, too.

If I were going with a new bike, though, I'm not sure what I'd get.
I'm liking the BMWS1000RR.

Here's a bit of heresy..........................
I wouldn't look at the ZX1200 Kwak, but I would consider the ZZR1200 - that's a nice bike........
Depends on how much "green" is available.......................maybe even a ZX1400

I say go forth and buy what the budget will allow, you can never have to many bikes.

At the moment i have 5 bikes in my garage, 2 i am repairing for my neighbors kid.
Buy with your heart, not your you wallet and you will be forever happy!

I like that....
Although for many it would read "buy what the wife will allow"....

(Not for me, of course... I'm just sayin' for "other" people.. )

My other bike is a 2002 FZ 1. Good riding position, big gas tank, and it is a rocket! Its very easy for city or highway riding. i realize it's not as sexy as the bikes with full fairings, but I love it.

The 954 is an awesome bike. Get you another bike in the stable!!
