For around 4k you get get a superduke or 950 SM. Slightly over budget though...

I'll second the V-strom thou as a tall person comfy twin. Spend a few quid on it and you'll probably not ride your other bike much!

agree with the v strom, they is quite tall bikes, looks wise, s'pose they are like marmite

Jackie_Black 31-07-11 06:15 PM

Re: 2nd bike (with requirements)
 
The strom is ugly, but if you lob the gsxr brakes on it and some springs it's hilarious. The motor has plenty wallop and you will get 180 miles to a tank if you gan canny. PLus you only need a yoshi box to tune out the annoying emissions flatspot, and I wish i'd never sold mine!

Bear man has a KTM and he loves it. It certainly is big enough too.
