This bike keeps calling my name but I can't have two.  Would you sell your beloved SOHC for the R9T?

Thanks for pulling me through my moment of weakness. I went down to the shop to buy new tires and take another look.   Three people ask what bike I was riding.   SOHC's are just as cool as any modern machine.  Going for a ride now.

i still haven't found a modern bike that makes me wanna pull the trigger, the only thing ive considered was a new adventure bike just to tour the country on.


otherwise, my 550 and 750 are good enough for me.
BMW's are sexy, I have vintage though.

I saw a BMW last year I really liked. With its boxer engine which is BMW for me.
R1250RS in a fantastic brown metallic.
Maybe I could have replaced my brown CB750 K2 with that, maybe not.

A stock bike is needed too.

My K6, not.
Many girls have passed after I bought that bike.

My K3 is certainly not a racer or even competitive in today's world of super engines and brakes. However, every time I take it out I get stares, thumbs up and people commenting on how cool it is.
I pulled up to one little shop and a guy walked out to look, he said he heard me pull up and without seeing the bike knew what it was. Gotta love those lotus root 4-4 pipes, such a unique sound.

Couldn't help myself.  Love the sound and heart pounding torque of a boxer.  Still have the CB 750F
