Morning
It's been a while.
I had a curvy a good few years ago, we did the ride out in the peaks in the early 2000's, but then parted company from it on the M6 . I did rebuild it but fell out of love shortly after, and drifted away from here shortly after :-(
Life has changed, quite a lot, and I'm now down south in Bristol and in a position that I will be getting a new bike. My first thought, obviously, was an SV so I went to Fowlers in Bristol for a look. They had a couple of pointies, but I also found a few other things I like the look of.
I think I'm lookign around the following:
SV (obvs)
Aprilia Shiver
Yam MT-07 or MT-09
Kawa Z800
Street Triple
Sporty 600 thing.
It will be for a commute (not very far, but crap traffic) and my only transport except the bus and cycle. My OH has a car that I can use, but only if she isn't. She's also into bikes so something that I can take her out for a spin on.
I reckon I can go up to about £5k - more if anywhere comes up with a 0% finance deal. Nearly bought a Z1000 the other day because of the finance deal but no room in the current garage - we're moving soon so we'll have room in the garage finally
I'd also like to get back out with others so things like AR - I'll be back :-)
What does anyone think?
