Having a dilema and could do with some help.
I have decided to change my bike within the next six months. I want to go touring next year and have decided that the SV although I love it is not very practical for taking 2000 miles round Europe.
I would like another Suzuki, simply because Saltire in Edinburgh is the dogs. I am thinking of the Vstrom and the 1250 Bandit, both bigger engines and more capable tourers.
My criteria are as follows,
Touring ability as well as a good all rounder for Sunday blasts
Bigger engine (and faster!)
hard luggage
more upright riding position
comfier seat
better pillion comfort
Budget is Approx 5 grand
Any other ideas or suggestions for bikes that may fit this much appreciated
