what to get next (bike)
 
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.

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


Your welcome to have a ride if you like.

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.
