Before getting a SCR950, I've had the following:

2010 Yamaha FZ-8
2012 Yamaha XTZ12BB Super Tenere (still have)
2014 FZ-09 (sold to buy the SCR950)

* Put over 30k miles on each of these.
The Tenere's almost there.

I'm nowhere near as experienced as you.

Started riding with a 1998 Honda CBR250
2012 Kawasaki Ninja 300
2014 Ninja 650

Well gosh darn

Don't you have quite the history with a broad range of bikes. That's impressive.

I've only had an old Ninja 636 and that's about it haha

My friends were surprised I waited almost 3 years before buying another bike. (Got the 14' FZ in Nov. 13').
LOL

LOL so fair to say you get bored easily and you like fancy new things !

Do you already have you're eye on the next bike after this one ?!

I'm surprised anyone even waits that long since the average time I see someone stick to a bike is about a year, maybe 2, but the 3rd year.. that's something special, but when that happens its with some bike that really stands out from the rest, something that doesn't make you ask what's next.

The ninja H2 is a good example, extreme, but a good example.

Despite owning so many odd ones, I'm drawn to somewhat practical bikes. That is, those that don't do any single thing outstandingly, yet seem to do a lot so well. I kept my first Transalp for just over 2 years and managed to put nearly 35k miles on it even though it wasn't my only bike. An accident saw it not getting replaced for about 18 months when I finally found another, low-mile example and rode it for 5 years and about the same miles. The DL1000 was my longest-kept m/c @ 6 years and 36k miles. The KLR had about 19k on it in 2 years and the current Super Tenere is climbing toward 26k. I may see if I can reach 100k on it. =)

2013 Yamaha XT250, loved this bike for learning how to ride and having the ability to throw on a carrier behind my jeep to take out to the desert for some fun. But now that I've been riding the XCR950, I've noticed just how small that bike is both in physical size and engine size. Will be looking into buying a Suzuki DR650 from a buddy or trying to find a street legal converted Yamaha WR450r.

I heard you on that. Some owners of liter bikes i've seen keep smaller 250-300 bikes around as bikes they can ride around, park and leave anywhere without worry. Doing that is not a bad mix, cheap 250-300 for commuting to and from work and then the REAL toy for when you really need to get in that zone.

Quite the eclectic mix here ........

The KZ-1000 was a beast with potential far exceeding my skills, particularly on public roads. These machines all had distinct personalities and provided ample opportunity to hone my wrenching skills. At first, if it wasn't broke, I'd fix it till it was
