What motorcycle do you or would you have?

[JJ Shaves]

I’d take my matrix reloaded Ducati back in a heartbeat.

I fancy a Scram 411.
How do you find the Himalayan and what year is yours?

 

[Driftwood]

I've watched Itchy Boots, from her first series travelling from India to Holland, on the RE Himalayan. Which was replaced with another Himalayan (EU spec) and that is still residing in Peru, when Covid kicked in. There wasn't a lot of mechanical issues with the bike/s, they are well regarded - but built to a budget

She's a 2021 Euro 5, Possibly the most fun bike I've owned and touch wood been very reliable

I shall soon be travelling across Europe to see my German buddies from the yamaha forum on my Tracer 900GT. Not quite sure how much those side cases really hold but I'm only away for a week so should be fine. Probably get more in the top box than both sides tbh. Should at least be a comfy and relaxed ride. I've done most of my touring on an old FZR600R...

I would like the "new" Kawasaki Z900RS, just as beautiful as the original Z900 but now water cooled and quite a bit faster.

I have a 2019 KTM 790Adv (my daily) and a 2017 KTM 690 Duke (for giggles).

Would like a BMW Urban GS or KTM 1290 Super Duke.

Would like to get a test ride on the new KTM 890 SMT.

A bike from the same era was the Honda CB750, A friend has just sold her Honda CB750 which she owned from new, toured all over Europe with it, it even was shown on an episode of Last of the Summer Wine

Without the sidecar, this would make me happy.

Great looking bike with a nod to the past, but built with modern technology

Its a funny old world.

30 years ago Japanese four cylinder bikes were criticized for being boring, they were called UJMs, Universal Japanese Motorcycle, air cooled four cylinders across the frame, dual seat, large tank, dual shocks, a fair amount of chrome plating and not much plastic, now every manufacturer apart from Ducati has its Retro range which copies the Japanese bikes of the 1980s, no criticism from me as the price of the originals is sky high.
