I'll have two I haven't ridden yet. Who's bought something new this winter?

So, who's going to be riding a new bike come spring?
- Thread starter Shaman
- Start date
(EDIT- will update when I purchase, should have read your post closer)
Still looking but hopefully will have one for the spring. Have changed my mind a few times. My FZ1 was alsmost perfect so it is a tough bike to replace.
Currently narrowed to:
BMW r1200r if I can find a used one. or F800r or F800ST
Safe fall-back: - 2nd Gen - FZ1
Was considering a Ducati Monster or Moto Guzzi V7 Stone.
but also like to the odd weekend tour and tempted to explore more gravel roads so a VStrom or Triumph Tiger 800
I really need 2 bikes

Strange mix of choices! Used or new? Because if new... Aprilia just dropped their prices by about 1/4 on their bikes. FYI.
I didn't mention which bikes I'll be on new (to me)...
2013 RSV4 APRC Factory SE ABS - the most acronyms in any bike name, ever
2009 GSX-R 600 for the track, one of Brett McCormick's bikes
I couldn't turn down the RSV4, wanted one for years now and with the big price drop on their improved bike (bigger tank, more power, better brakes, ABS, et al) I decided it was time, and put some money down.

That thing looks like a blast to ride. I wish we had more legal trails around here, motocrossing is pretty hard on the old body... hahaha
Pics? Ehrm. OK
.... oh man, I wish.
I don't have a pic of the RSV4 because they won't hit Canada until April, and there are definitely visible changes. Just a marketing pic. I've already posted the 600's pic up before but here it is:
Congrats on the Aprilia. Bloody nice bike.
I only got the K7 600 out twice last year so it's still basically a new thing to set up. It will definitely be out much more this season.
