Summer is just around the corner and i cant shake this idea out if my head...

I bought a 2015 triumph 675 in 2016. I was thinking of switching it up this year to.....something diffrent. My idea was to trade the motoecycle in to a bike shop and put around 1000$ on top getting something else. I had the bike in kijiji for 9,500 last year but i put it in in oct-nov knowing no ones gonna buy it. Anyways my question is can you guys/gals suggest a bike around the 9000$ range new that id be able to trade in for? Im hoping to get 7000-7500 from a dealer for my bike.

1 bike idea was the kawasaki 650 Vulcan. :) i like it!

No one paid $9,500 for a used Street Triple because you can buy a brand new one for $9,500 +taxes.

And difficult to make any suggestions with out knowing what type of riding you're interested in or want to do.

Judging by the Vulcan, you want something to cruise around on? Do you like the feet forward thing? Yamaha Bolt's are pretty bad *** and come in a variety of flavours.

Hey now! You don't have to be old to ride a cruiser!
That being said....@slowandsteady O know that you said you liked the looks of the Kawi, but I'm not sure if that is gonna be the right bike for you at this time. If I was gonna make a suggestion, I would say something more ADV. You still plan on doing the motocamping? You still plan on riding in all types of weather? I'm not saying that you can't do that with any bike, I'm just not sure if that's the right move for you, right now.

Broken tooth just rides a KLR650... one of the cheapest bikes out there, especially 2nd hand.

@slowandsteady might be too short for a KLR based on the photo I posted. ?

Going from the Triumph to the KLR will be a big change! The KLR is a bullet-proof tank of a bike. It doesn't do anything particularly great, but it does anything you ask it to well. They are cheap, and cheap to fix and there are literally limitless farkles for them. You might find it a tad slow compared to what you ride now. If you're okay with that, you can probably get a brand new one on an even trade.
 
There we go @morissey ! Thats what i like to hear :D ....as mentioned i like to ridendirty ..go motocamping and ride in rain...although the daytona is amazing...its not amazing for what i do so i was looking for suggestions and explanations like the one u gave

The KLR is a great all rounder. You need to look at a vstrom or versys. More adventure, less price tag than a tiger or a ktm.

V stroms are probably more comfy, and quicker (sat on one couldnt believe how good it felt)

But if you plan to go off the black pavement, you'd be better off with a KLR(Im contemplating making the jump myself)
 
@SlownSteady

Apex in Kitchener has a used Honda Fury 1300 at a decent price.
Doesn't appear to have hit their website yet, but when I was in on the weekend it was something like $7500 with under 10,000km on it. Might get a straight up trade for your Daytona.
