I bought the same Triumph Street Triple back after one year. I missed it as soon as I got rid. Luckily for me the garage where I got rid of it hadn't sold it after a year so I bought it back for a good price. It still makes me smile every time I get on it.

Apart from donor bikes I have never had the same bike twice. Never really thought about it but I always like to change to something different.
