We've done this a few times in motors and you always get the dreamers who think they'll be in lambos by the time they're 23 so let's try and keep this realistic (easier with bikes I guess) :p

So what, realistically, is going to be your next bike and why? Also state your current bike etc.

Personally I've got my trusty CBF125 which I'm more than happy with commuting 30miles a day on, however this time next year I'll have to redo my cbt soon so will probably do my full test and I'd love something like a VFR800.
 
I don't see anything replacing my Street Triple R as my day to day bike (although far less frequently used now than when I first got it), but I've got a couple of itches I know I'm gonna have to scratch at some point.

I want a supermoto, or just trial/enduro style bike, or maybe an XT660 for the noise.

I also want a Yamaha V-MAX (original one, but the ~150hp version, obviously), I don't know why I want one of these, I just do :p
 
GSXR or Daytona.

Ducati Multistrada. I've been after one for the past year, but really need to wait for a decent pre-owned one around the £10,000 mark.

I want one because I'm no longer getting out and about every weekend like I used to, and am making the transition to far fewer yet longer rides. Off to Germany for four days in April, and need a bike more suited to touring but still delivering some fun.
 
Street Triple I reckon. I'd like a Multistrada but they're too expensive, being only 21 and all.

Just bought a track bike last Friday which I never thought I'd get, but thought it's time to get stuck in.
 
I'm actually really happy with my current bikes (2010 ZX6R and 2010 Street Triple). Both have plenty of power for my needs and anything bigger would be a waste for me, I just wouldn't be able to get them best out of a litre bike.
I suppose that if push came to shove I'd consider changing the Street Triple for the 2013 model but from what I can tell it's 95% the same bike for twice the price of mine so a bit of a waste really.
 
Current bike: '10 GSX650F
Next bike: Don't know, quote like the look of the MT-09, should be at a good 2nd hand price in a couple of years.
Or, if money is good:

Had the GS for nearly 2 years which is a record for me. Must admit though I'm tempted to change......to the new GS Adventure.

There's just nothing that I've ridden (and I've owned a lot of bikes) that touches this bike for all-round ability, but the extra range and power of the new bike sounds perfect, and the MCN review said the handling was astounding
 
Probably another FJ1200!!
I'm tempted to get a write-off, to use for spares & repairs.

Failing that, there are several that take my fancy. I'd like a go on the G-Strider, as it's probably the closest thing I'll get to a spaceship and the DN-01 is useless if you're over 4' 8", apparently.
Might try a Blackbird or something, but I'm more in favour of upright/laidback Tourer & Cruiser types.
