Next bike help!

[paiste]

Right then. I am looking for a new bike. I had my heart set on a Daytona 675 but after test riding one last week it's a definite no go. It was fine at NSL's and above, but anything below and my wrists and back were killing me. I'm afraid I'd either end up banned or dead :rolleyes:
Sooooo. any other suggestions? I think for my size after trying the Daytona that a Supersport 600 is going to be out of the question.
Got to be capable of the daily commute 15 miles mainly motorway with weekend fun.
got £3.5-4k budget.

Thanks

TBH, I'm not surprised you weren't comfortable on the 675, Dan. You are what, 6ft4"? :) As you say, most new style 600 SS may be too small. What about a Series 1 Mille or Tuono?

[paiste]

Yeah 6'5". Tuono is definitely on the list. How would this compare to an SV1000?
Z750 or 1000 could be a possibility too.
TBH i'm in a dilemma what my priorities are in a bike :rolleyes: Every day I have a different choice :smt017

If you want a sports bike, I think you'll need to look for something older. I'm 6ft and I felt cramped on a K6 GSXR...

I fit fine on m6 K5 GSXR 750, so maybe try one of those, or a 954 blade, before they went underseat exhaust, or maybe a Kwak 9R, Bear seems to get on OK with his size wise.

What & where do you want to ride a bike? Commute? b roads? Track? General scratch? Tour?

[ethariel]

If you are looking for general suggestions, try a test ride on a Tiger :)

Multi purpose really.

15 mile each way commute (mainly motorway) with weekend fun and the occasional track day

Don't think I can afford a 1050 tiger :(

Dan, I don't think you could go far wrong with one of those 955i daytona trumpets that Drew had, get them for good money as well .

[xXBADGERXx]

I would second the Tuono route , you can get some well loved ones around the 3k mark

[christian1000]

How about a Street Triple? Afterall its just a more comfortable version of the 675, albeit without a fairing

[paiste]

Well thanks all. I have ignored everyones help and suggestions :rolleyes:
Bought a new bike and should be picking it up later in the week:D

[Reeder]

[paiste]

I've stayed faithful to the org and bought an SV1000sz :D
It's a minter. 1 owner from new. 06 reg Standard apart from Scorpian street extreme cans and only 3.5k miles :cool:

[Geodude]
