Default Which bike next?

Can't afford it yet, but thinking about what to upgrade the SV to when I can. Any opinions on the above bikes are gratefully recieved! I'm 6'5, so I want a bike that i won't look stupid on (like I do on the SV, it's just too small) which is why the last two are in there.

Help me SV-wan kenobi, you're my only hope...

Looks easy, 3 showrooms to visit and ride all the options. I really couldn't comment on which one would be suitable for you. I mean you're like a foot taller than me ya freak!

are we to assume that the cost of insurance isn't an issue here?

AFAIK the insurance on the first three is roughly the same, the other two are in there as wild cards TBH

The newer Super Duke is an interesting package now they seem to have fixed the tank range. My loyalties are with the Italian however.

Here's a nice biased review that sums up why: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Articl...ID=4023&Page=1

Heres a vid on what its like to ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IttIWmZfrNo

And if you are indeed verticly blessed - it may fit better than the other 2 fighters. You know its quality when it comes with a 4 year warranty

Awww- I dunnno! I had enough trouble choosing my bike before I even took my test!!!

Kind of glad I didn't go for a ZZR600 though (was quite into the idea for a while)- 70bhp is by far enuff for me at the mo.

Don't know much about those bikes, but went for a ride out with someone on a SuperDuke the other day- they make a LOVELY noise! Quite tasty bikes too, though not my cuppa...
