I'm in a situation where I need to get a new bike that can easily munch through a lot of miles but retain the fun factor, so would love to get some opinions. We're talking a large amount of motorway and A roads with some B roads you want to enjoy at either end. It could be brand new or a few years old.
I test rode a Sprint GT last week and while it was a decent bike, the lack of a tall screen let it down on the motorway, plus I don't actually fit on it since I'm super lanky and the fairings slice my knees off. So bikes for the taller rider preferred! I'm testing riding a Tiger 1050 on Wednesday, and also looking at KTM 990 SMTs as not only do they look awesome, but you can get tall screen and luggage options to make them practical.
Anyway, I've been looking at loads of bikes and asking people their opinions, but thought it'd be good to get the opinion of the ORG to see if I can refine my short list. All thoughts appreciated.
