How do you decide it's time to buy a new bike
Green1:
For a long time I was contemplating selling my bikes due to struggling to ride them. But when I started riding again I was soon reminded how good they are for my mental wellbeing.I've never gone out looking for a bike. They have always been bought on a whim and they have always found me. But for some reason there's a fire burning within. I need another. I think I might be worried I'm missing out.
I've never set a budget they just have to be good value or fool me into thinking they are.
I'm incredibly indecisive
I don't have a budget in mind and struggle to part with what I own. But I would need to part with something as I can't justify another one
I'm not into cleaning bikes so they have to be tough enough to be left in crap and not dissolve
I really fancy a Suzuki GSX8R or a Guzzi Mondello at the moment. But there far too nice to leave in a state when I'm to busy to clean them.
I will inevitably just keep what I've got until that special something rears it's head

I’m not sure if it’s an interest or a disease!🤣 I don’t think I could have justified any of the bikes I purchased so I sympathise with your thoughts. I’m definately saying now that I can’t have another bike until I sell something but I can’t think to part with any of them. So like the wardrobe it’ll have to be one out, one in. I don’t use any of my bikes for transport, they are all just boys toys. My garage is my hobby, fettling cleaning mending repairing servicing and when it’s nice weather great to have that choice, oh which one today. You go for it and keep us posted how you get on. Part of the fun is the hunt.😜

On the Guzsi Mondello axis, I'd encourage a test ride of Ducati 821 Monster if available ..... a very different bike but along the same vein in being very different.
If youve not ridden similar, they've a very different character engine wise to many others, they just feel like much les friction in engine response, really eager torque, plus high rev hit if you want it, all in one engine. Very well balanced too with narrow bicycle like feeling to weight distribution.
Go on, you know you need another one ;D
