| You are keeping your present bike, but you want to add another, perhaps something different. OK, I'll admit I have been looking at some great deals on used Kawasaki KLR 650s. I don't want a motocross bike, but I'd like to do some dirt riding like I did when I was younger, and a light bike with some tire nobbiness is a very different beast than my C50. The KLR doesn't have to be trailed to the trail either. What about you?

| I would have to go with something similar to what rowdy is talking about. Perhaps an R1 track bike, but still street legal. The Buell is "cool" and I love riding it, it's alot of fun, but let's not kid, it's not the fastest bike I have ever ridden and lacks alot of horsepower that I would like to have every now and then.

| I'd like a trail bike, not sure if it would be a VStrom or a DR or a KLR like Timmy.

| Now if the wife would take my M50 to ride, then I would love to get a M109 or a Victory Hammer. But I think another quad is in order first before a new bike.

| Well, I had the street then the dirt (dual purpose) and got back to the street cruiser... so I guess if I would get to keep my Volusia I'd like a sport bike. Since I've been into Suzuki for ever I guess I could only settle for a busa. |

| The question of the original post asks "What bike would you like to add to your stable?" My answer: I already did! As much as I'd love to add more, I think two is more than enough for me. Any more, each bike would be competing for my attention and I would end up riding one of them more than the others. I would probably consider one or more of the following: 1. A quad 2. 50-125cc scooter 3. Moped

| I'd take my time and build one from scratch. Something with a 124in S&S engine. I haven't got all the details but I'm working on it.
