        And a few more. The green sports bike is a Paton S1 Strada, a low-volume machine from Milan built around a modest Kawasaki twin. It was one of my favourites.

              Thanks Bluegrass and Dave.

              There are a few more pictures on my Instagram feed, which I haven't posted here.

              Shame you couldn't make it Dave. As you said, there's always next year. 🙂

                  This is a concept for the upcoming R1200R. Given my association with that bike, it's whetted my appetite…

                  Unfortunately they always come up with sexy previews, and the reality tends to be less exciting, as the first spyshot of the new model shows…

                                  The Sportster Forty Eight is a nice bike, but the bigger Harleys are supposed to be easier to ride and better machines. I'd look at something like a Street Bob.

                                  If you're after something in a similar vein, the BMW R nineT is a more capable road bike, will be more fuel efficient, and looks gorgeous.

                                  Or there's the Moto Guzzi California.

                                    NineT is a sweet bike, but may be impossible to find until the newness wears off.

                                      The NineT is currently sold out until next year according to my local dealer.

                                      The R1200R is probably a better machine, but not as sexy. Hence my hopes that next year's model will be closer to the concept, above.

                                        I started with a Sportster 1200 - definitely a fun bike, easy to ride - but you may very likely want something bigger at some point. I currently have a 06 Street Glide, an 03 Fat Boy and my old 97 Dyna Low Rider. I like them all for different reasons…

                                          Nice bike Finn, I love the look of the 48, but after looking into them it sounds like the bigger bikes are a lot better if you're tall (I'm 6'3").  I'm not sure how tall you are but something to consider.  I love the look of the Dyna Wide Glide. The problem is narrowing down the choices, the RNineT looks awesome too, and there's something about the Triumph classic line up that is hard to resist.

                                            i'm like 5'11" so not really that tall Mich 🙂

                                            thanks for the feedback guys. it still may be a bit until i'll purchase, so def. open for more infos and suggestions…

                                            since i'm just getting started into the whole motorcycle thing (dreaming about owning with since buying my first scooter at the age of 15), i'm more into 2nd hand bikes, which doesn't cost a fortune and don't need to be in perfect shape so that i'm still able to work on it on my own.
                                            just sth. to get started 🙂
