Default How much longer before your next bike?

How long do you typically keep your bike before getting something different?

How much longer before you are riding something different?

Seems like every 3-4 yrs I switch, even though I keep telling myself I'll keep "this one".

My first bike 2 months, my 2nd bike 1 years, and my 3rd bike 5 years. Hopefully I keep this one for a few years, I'd be happy with 3 or 4 more.

2 years for my first 2 bikes. I got a feeling the beemer will be around longer, but I said that about the CBARRR. I don't know what I want to do with the DRZ yet. I could trade that for a pure dirt bike within the year or keep it and get motard tires for it.

My next bike will be newer than 30 years old.

Like the Triumph Thruxton.
