Does anyone else have a love/hate thing with their bike?

I think with your weight you may get on with the SV1000, reason i didnt is i reckon is because im half you weight!

Is a Z1000, fz1, cb1000r like that or are they too soft? I think i'm looking for something with the insane kick of a supersports but a bit more civil to ride with proper bars. Probably why i was looking at a duke.

Dunno, I haven't ridden any of the above. But from second hand accounts no you won't get the bonkers nature.

Tuono

hmm, no bonkers. Perhaps if I go for a naked thou i'll be happier. Cos it will go like the clappers, have midrange and not hurt me neck. Gonna go and pester the stealers at the weekend...

That's not a streetfighter (Re; tuono)
But yes, would fit the bill of "nuts"


Naked thou be nice, won't handle like your ZX6R though
