Outside stated criteria, but I first bought a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe and two months later bought a 2014 CB1100 Standard. Very happy with this decision.
What bikes have you bought twice?

I bought 3 Kaw KZ750 twins (4 if you count the parts bike). I had a '79, '80 and an '83. They were cheap, bulletproof and I was a broke kid.

2 BMW R75/5s, one new in 1970, one used in 2013.
2 CB1100s, a 2013 and a 2014 DLX.
Back in 1970 I was actually after a MOTO GUZZI 750 Ambassador. The Guzzi dealer in New Orleans did not have one, and said that there was a strike on in Italy so he did not know when he would get one. Too bad I said, you are forcing me to go down the street to the BMW dealer.

Some things never change! It's still happening. I'm interested in a '17 Moto Guzzi V7iii Special but my dealer has decided not to stock them. So, rather than buy one sight unseen, he's "forcing me" to go down the street to the BMW dealer. The bike I'm interested in, the G310R, is currently delayed.Redbird_imp said:

Not done yet, but second BMW F800GT is a real posibility.

Just a thought before you pull the trigger on another GT -- it's rumored the F900GS will be introduced later this year. If so, I'd expect an uprated F900GT might soon follow. Hopefully it'll have cruise and an electrically operated windscreen...F800GT_imp said:

Oh ... precious piece of information !!! I definitely want both cruise-control and an electrically operated windscreen.
Thank you !!

I currently have 2 SOHC CB750s, a dependable but kind of rough K6 and a gorgeous K1 that is immaculate except for the front brake, which leaks and drags.

That would be fine with me. If you like "fenders and fins" it pretty much means the CB or a Bonnie. Of course I like both. Hey...that would be a cool rally - CB's and Bonnevilles co-mingling here in the mountains. (Or down under)
On a trip last summer, a guy approached me about my CB1100 and it was obvious he was familiar with them. Then he tells me he has one as well, that in fact, he bought two brand new 2013's at the same time. One he rides and the other is for "the future" and untouched. I forgot to ask him if he was a member here.
Me, three years ago I bought a Yamaha xs650 which needed a lot of work, sold it for what I paid, then bought another one in pretty good condition, rode it for half a year, then sold it for nearly what I paid...it just felt like a matter of time before major issues were coming, and I realized I didn't have the time / inclination to work extensively on it.
That realization helped my decide to buy the CB1100!
