You're preaching to the choir. I'm still doing physio for my shoulder after dropping my buddies DT50 in June. (In my defense it was after 10am so weed and alcohol was involved....)

Nobody ever respects the little bikes until they FAFO.

Most of us found out the hard way. The old RD350`s went full Honey Badger on a lot of riders.

How many of you have bought the same bike twice? I bought 2 Beta 200s a few years ago. And i would buy another Tenere 1200 in a heartbeat.

Two GSXR 1000's (an 06 and 09) and three GSXR 600's (an 05 and two 07's).

Never bought the same model twice in a runner but I've lost count of how many old single cam 750 Honda's have past thru this garage in part or in whole.

I have only had two bikes and they're still with me.
Cleveland That Misfit
Kawasaki EX500

Buell S3T - Both Black, same year and slight differences in windshield and rims. Both were fun and worth it. Only sold due to limited garage space and wife didn’t enjoy riding pillion. She had a point as they do wheelie easily and cornered really well.

I bought a GasGas (KTM) 700 enduro in November. I had a 2012 KTM 690 back in 2018 and always liked it so I bought a new version.

I'm assuming you like the new counterbalanced engine much better?

Does the successor count?

999->1098
R1200GS->R1250GS

Wife: R1200ST->R1250RS (mistake)

Over 50 years of bike ownership has made for many instances of owning duplicate models.
Still wish i had a bunch of them.
