what to get next (bike)

[davepreston]

right people the sv is getting sold, but i have no idea what to get next
so here is the criteria
1/ cheapish insurance (akin to sv maybe a wee bit more)
2/ comfortable for my tall self
3/ under £2000
i do love v twins but not esental, im hoping this reignites my love for bikes which most of you know has left me as of late
begin :)

given you height I say the speedtriple version is actually better to ride, same vintage 97-2001.

Or a firestorm might be worth a try?

Cheers Mark.

i tried the old jelly mould shape 955i and it fit like a glove i'm 6ft on the dot don't know how thatd relate to davepreston can't go wrong with either i'd of thought worth a quick spin.

My daytona 6 is a comfortable ride for the taller guys out there.


Your welcome to have a ride if you like.

[rictus01]

yeah I had 4 speedtriples and two Daytona's, the Daytona's look stunning, but after a few weeks I speedtripled the frontends onboth as they are better to ride.

Cheers Mark.

I did say rather different :-), anyway cornering is over rated.

[zsv650]

Thanks for defending Lancastrian honour there Mark, Do I take it your lad is still at Preston? if so me and the big lad really do need to show him some of the cities dirtier secrets.

As for a bike for Dave? Really only possible candidate. A Raleigh chopper and he will still crash it.

Yeah I think the M6 has a few gentle bends in it, doesn't it Tim......;)
