I was wondering how long you wait or what factors you consider to determine when you get rid of your first bike to get a new second bike.

 

if ya can outride the capabilities of your bike then it may be time to get another

 

Forget trying to be a racer. Enjoy the darned thing for what YOU enjoy it for. Who cares about limits other than men with small dicks.

I would say if your enjoyment level drops with it, start looking at how much sense it is to sell and upgrade. Go for a new one if you feel it's worth it on all levels...for you.

 

Well My first bike was 1994 Honda F4. It was a great bike to learn on. But when I got it from a friend it was all ready laid down a few times. I road it for 6 months, and then I low sided it myself. I rebuilt it, but then I just didnt feel safe anymore. So I sold it!

It was about 1 year later until I got my new Honda CBR 1000RR.
I went to the dealer looking to get a 750 GSXR or 749 Ducati.......... But they were all out & even 600's
So I just went big and bought the 1KRR. I love it and will never go back down
I am a kinda big guy, so the 1KRR fits me very well.

 

I had my 99 F4 for 4 years and put 28000 miles on it. sold it in 03' regreted every day since. this past april 27th got my new luv 07' CBR 1000 rr Black in color, what a dream. Just a lil more power than the 99 600 with only a two (2) pound difference 8)
