Time to move on?
 

Well,

I've just got back from Cuba to find that my bike has been written off from my accident on the M11 for those that can remember it. According to the policy i should get a new bike as it was less than six months old so that will be about 4.6k i reckon will all the bits on it. Thing is that to have 3 SVs in the space of a year is a bit much and i think im cursed on them despite covering over 40k in less than a year on them. Whats your point you may ask....well i love the growl of the twins and the character off the bike but think im ready to move on but what else there to move on to really? i need something with a bit more poke but also be able to withstand my daily commute of 150 miles a day!

So whats it to be?!

Ladies and Gents the floor is now yours and try to keep the replys relevant to the topic!

150 miles a day! :shock: get a new sv and a new job. :lol:

150 miles a day crikey. Why does it have to have so much poke?

I wouldn't want anything other than a deauville for that kind of riding. Wind protection, cheap as chips to run and service yourself and keep their value very well. Who cares about looks when you're doing that many miles a day.

Yeah riden the Dohville and it was a joy to ride comfy easy to ride but just a little gutless plus i wanna fun bike to grind the pegs down on and if i do that on the ville well it dont make for nice thoughts! See where you are coming from tho!

have you considered buying a new house closer to where you live?

How about a VFR800!!!

Hmmm maybe just need to ride one to see if i like it! Believe me im looking for a job near to Cambidge but doesnt seem like theres a lot out there at the moment!

You could try a Triumph Sprint ST as well? actually try all the sports tourers.

£4.6K will not buy a new Sprint. If it did, I'd be in the queue :)

2nd hand fireblade.. the model before they RR came out with the underseat exhaust....

Jelster has one. I reckon that would do you.
