Lozzo / Robchester / anyone - Versys ownership?

Yup i agree, very very very similar.

The 690 duke is freakin awesome fun for the twistys but no good for getting places really as its too buzzy AND too vibey lol

the 950 on the other hand i really liked but the missus screwed her face up at the seating position (hunched up against me was a no no...we both need our space)

So the quest continues...

I dont have the issue of 2 up. I'm tempted with a 950....

I've actually thought about a Tuono too, but think I'd be better off with SM/Trailie style bike.

If it wasnt for the missus wanting to get involved i'd keep my SM

Mebe i should try to encourage her to get her own freakin bike! Problem solved

Amplimator, you have an SM? Are you getting rid?

Edit: Just realised its a CRF, not a 950 SM

LOL if i had a 950 SM i would be considering selling my street triple not me honda

Is your Street Triple the R version?

Nope standard. Still a far better bike than i am rider. I loved the 'R version but found it too harsh on the longer hauls. I opted for the street due to the bars (dodgy wrist...) and found the 'R a lil too forward. If i was a track day kinda guy id have the 'R but the standard kinda suited the state the roads are in these days

Stops well enough for me too. Its only a little bike but again, would benefit track more than real world IMO

Get a standard and spend the extra on some cans
