I'm going to get shot of the Honda ADV350 and get something bigger. I'll miss the practicality and convenience of it and ultimately I'd love to keep it and get something else alongside it but that won't be for some time until we own our own house, priorities and all that.
Anyway, I'm looking at getting £4500 - £5000 for the ADV and could potentially chuck a bit more on top for the right bike but in an ideal world I'd like to save a grand on the new bike and stick that towards a house deposit, but only if I find the right bike - I won't be considering projects, fixer uppers or anything like that.
I'm not after a pocket rocket but do want a bit of poke. My current bike is 30hp so ideally I'd want around 60+. Style wise I'm either after a retro, adventure, light off-roady or cruiser style - and not a Harley type cruiser, I'm not 60 yet and that type of beard is far too much work.
My shortlist so far, and there's been absolutely zero budget consideration here so that'll be the first thing to start ruling them out:
I'll add more to the list as I go but that's all I can think of right now.
