well that's at least three different types you've covered.

I like TDM's and have worked on a friends for a couple of years now (the 900), well under rated bike and good value for money, but won't impress most people, and as you say you've had one already.

the last of the ZZR6's were for the American market and actually old style ZXR6's re-badged, a bit roomier than the latest crop of ss600's.

Tiger nice, but it's either the last of the older style (955i with alloy wheels) or the new 1050, but a bit tall, the new 1050 is a good alrounder, t heavy but carries it's weight well when on the move, and a great pillion machine, but if you could find a good 955i version that's good to, don't forget Triumphs are an insurance group cheaper to.

VN's never really floated my boat, lazy engine, but as single minded as a supermoto or something.

Cheers Mark.
