i don't know - since we got the GSXR 750 she does not want to ride anything else, so maybe another liter bike. We've had two or three at a time until recently.

The house and the garages is in progress.. and it will take some time since we are doing most ourselves.

But this is my motorcycle garage. The cars will get their own detached garage, we are building this as we speak.

There's not but on the walls yet, and I plan to get a small workbench and a motorcycle lift in there. The garage will also grow a bit later, as a new bathroom will be built over the current garage entrance.


The bikes in place (less the sidecar bike)..


The garage will be extended beyond the current garage door..



And the "library" room and workshop is nearby



workshop..

Yep those Gixxer's are addictive, but it's also good when you have a choice

We have two in line fours, a v twin, and a v-four. I realized one day how much sportier our mix of bikes has become - three of the four have slipper clutches and clip ons below the top triple clamp. If the F4 goes we will likely end up 4 for 4.

Nice variety. Reads like you and your wife might do a bit on the track?

Over the past couple of years I've favoured V twins to the fours, mainly because of the engine breaking capabilities and torque they provide.

I do still enjoy the occassional blast on my wifes four - when I'm allowed

We did the twins thing for a while - SV650, Superhawk, and still have the Mille, but I guess I really prefer fours. A bit on the track, with the 600 and the RC30. We can ride pretty fast here - lots of wide open roads and minimal patrolling if you choose the right roads, so we can enjoy the sportbikes as designed.

I'd love an RC30 but they are a rare as rocking horse shit here in OZ and if you can find one for sale their huge $$$$$.
Mille's are almost in the same category, but being a twin have a smaller market appeal
Superhawk's are called firestorms here in Oz, not a bad bike and you can pick them up for reasonable dollars.

We have plenty of wide open roads here as well, the only problem is that most of them are pot holed, so you have to learn the roads well if you want to ride fast. My favorite roads are through the hills, just have to keep a eye out for wild life (roo's, wombats etc)

A couple of pic's to illustrate the point
