As anyone in this forum well knows: "the difference between men and boys is the size and price of their toys."
How much for your TR6?
Before I had kids, I rode year round here in Baltimore. I had two bikes, Triumph Tiger 1050, same motor as a speed triple. Tuned, 130 HP, super comfy. And a Triumph bobber.
I just sold the Tiger and I'm about to sell speedy. I haven't ridden at all since my second son was born, and he just turned 4!
That's why I bought my R. Wanted something fun that holds the utes.
FJR is a sweet bike.
Was half joking, have always liked that body style. Had a 79 MGB a while back. It was mint and a blast to drive. Either one would be a nice weekend car. Will likely grab one in a few years. Like your wheels btw. Much preferred over the other options. Enjoy the ride!Mine is not for sale, but I know of a nice one in suburban Chicago with overdrive and wire wheels, Carmine red with tan interior, asking price is $18,000. If you have an interest, pm me and I will send you the contact info. NFI, the owner passed away last month and his wife is selling the car.
Bike talk, can I play? I'm about to sell my ZHP and replace it with with a new Kawasaki Versys 650. I haven't owned a bike in 35 years. I just took a 3-day course over the weekend and polished up my skills, and got certified for my motorcycle endorsement on my driver's license w/o further testing at DMV, which I secured this afternoon. Very excited about buying a modern bike, a lot has changed in 35 years!

And yet, for all the visceral intensity which a sport-oriented motorcycle provides, getting behind the wheel of a Golf R and taking it for a spin is still so deeply satisfying.

The MT-07 looks great! New model just out this month I see from the Yamaha website.
I agonized between the Versys or the Suzuki V-Strom 650. I want to be able to do a little bit of light off-roading, and the Strom is a bit better suited to that duty, but the Versys should be the better street bike, and 95% of my time will be on paved roads. The only off-road duty will be unpaved "roads", very light duty.
I pulled the trigger on the Versys today. Leftover '17 model, list $8099 - I stole it for $6253 including PDI & destination. Here she is getting a little PDI inspection after it came off the showroom floor...
I bought it up in Tucson and it's being delivered to me on Friday. Can't wait to get her out on the open road.
only thing I hate about it is the $1300 a year plates that the wonderful Quebec has us paying. Highway robbery it is!
