I will commute on mine, have a fun ride on back roads and have done the NC500 twice with Kriega US 20's and 10's on the pillion seat. First time with a tent, second stopping at B&B's so distance can be covered. Also a couple of slow track days (BMW club) where it held it's own and claimed some scalps. I'm 5' 10" by the way. Other than relatively minor issues it has been great and doesn't use any oil. Although I've had it since new and currently trying to decide if I want to sell and try something else. |

Re: First world problems and bike dilemas
Ditto the distance on a Street Triple: best was 700 miles from Applecross via Johnny Grouts to home.

Re: First world problems and bike dilemas
Half way through August, I can't see myself deciding to get another years insurance on the Tracer at the beginning of September.

Re: First world problems and bike dilemas
So the question is - what bike are you going for then?

Re: First world problems and bike dilemas
Still undecided and a bit hesitant to choose something, knowing how I feel about what I thought was going to be an ideal bike in the Tracer.
I keep coming back to it needing to be fun at the top of the list though.

Re: First world problems and bike dilemas
Maybe you should consider one of those Suzuki SV650 bikes. I hear they're pretty Good all rounders!
