I bet that bike could cause a few issues if you had to stop suddenly.

Without wishing to be predictable ;)

Test a KTM 950 Adventure! Much more fun than the BM and it will easily take pillions. My wife was never happy on the back of the SV but she is fine on the KTM. Added to that it is an awesome bike! I love it!!!! I tried an 1150 adventure as well as the KTM and the KTM made the BM feel like a lumbering tractor...

Maybe if they did a low seat version... Guys, I'm a short ****, I don't fit on big bikes...

VFR 800... can't go wrong... I rode a mates a few weeks ago and it's AWESOME! Confidence inspiring, comfortable, more upright than it looks and plenty of power.

Mate of mine has a Ducati 916 and a bandit 12 as a second bike. Happy as the proverbial pig he is too.

Er, No Steve not everyone you know, I've had test rides on both the 1150 and 1200 GS, it's OK, if you're into that kind of thing, but not what I'd call good, also a lot of money for what it is.

Cheers Mark.

Beemers are OK, but I can't get on with the gearbox.
