Curious to hear what everyone's riding and what their wants are for their future bikes, whether it be replacing their current or adding a new one.
By all means post your dream bike goals, I'm gonna go with what would be feasible within my budget.
I'm currently riding a 2017 Harley Davidson Iron 883.
If I had to choose a bike to replace it but still within my budget I'd go for a Harley Soft Tail or Lowrider S.
If I were pick a bike to add, I'd probably go with a Honda Grom or similar small bike. You know for fun. :D

I currently ride a 1971 Honda CB750 cafe racer and a 2014 Triumph Thruxton. For now these do me just fine.
However, I completely agree with you that a Grom would be a blast!!! Unfortunately they seem to hold a decent value so it’s hard to find one for a good price. I can’t see paying close to 3k for a used “toy” motorcycle.

I ride a
2014 Harley Davidson (FLHTK) Ultra Limited
2014 FLHTK with just about 75k miles. I got it as a baby with only 14 miles on it.
I have a TTR-90 gathering dust and '73 CB750 mothballed and a 76 CB750 chopper, also mothballed.

Future bike? So far from what I have reviewed - these are in the running

Road Glide Ultra (needs a few add ons)
FJR1300 (needs one or two add ons)
MT-10
Indian Chief Vintage
and I have my eyes on but have not tested the
K1600 GTL
New Goldwing

I'm afraid to test ride that MT10 (FZ-10 in the states), I might fall in love.
The FZ-09 was on my radar when I picked out my current bike but I didn't consider it was a very good commuter. Now I see FZ's everywhere.

My current bike was and is my dream bike, so I don't see myself replacing it any time soon.
In addition I could go with something smaller, under 1000cc V2, for trying out how tasteful I could be, with chopping\customizing. But I will need to get a garage first.

Future bike, well that’s a tough one at the moment. There are a few things on the radar but none of them are a perfect fit.
MT10, would have to get the sp because of the dash, then I’m not sure I could live with the colour.
s1000R, is very high on the list. The only issue with that is there is no dealer nearby so it means a trip to get anything done.
Speed Tripple, love the bike, hate the dealer.
And finally R1. I love all the tech and the look of it. Just not sure I want to go back to a sports bike.

As for additional. I’m looking at a few things now. Not going to give anything away just yet.

Future bike: No idea yet

At the moment not having any future plans to get a different bike. If you are asking about dream bike that would be a Panigale. I can probably buy it but I don't see myself wanting to pay premium for all the associated maintenance that comes with that bike. If I buy it and just ride around the block to the nearest cafe to keep mileage low (so no need to do the maintenance) then I might as well not use it. One day maybe I will get one.

I ride a
Harley Davidson Nightster
Current bike: Suzuki VanVan RV125
Future bike: Undecided

I have only done my CBT and passed my theory test yesterday. I'm hoping to do the full test and get my unrestricted license at the end of next month.

I like the naked/retro style and also like the look of the Harley street 750 but there's not one standout bike for me. How is it possible to decide with all the good options out there??

Test ride a lot of bikes to see what ones feel better

My current bikes are a very customised Moto Guzzi V7 and a KTM 390 Duke. I love the V7 but it isn't remotely practical so it only comes out when the weather is nice. I got the KTM to commute to work on but it is a lot of fun to ride the tight country lane twisties so it gets far more use recreationally than I intended.
I should be picking up a Triumph Street Triple 765 R (low ride height version) in the next week ish, am undecided if I'll sell the KTM yet though.
I no longer have a dream bike after the abortion KTM made of the 790 Duke.

Yamaha Fazer
I currently run a '06 Yamaha FZ6, nice bike I won't grow out of for a couple of years

I just tested both a Yamaha Tracer 900 and a Zero FXS. And I'd like to have both or similars in my garage in the future, probably at the same time for touring and commuting.
