Hello - i am hoping to update my bike this summer after i get a full years no claims. My naked sv650 has been my very first bike and i passed my test on it last summer.
I was hoping u guys could give me some advice on what to get next. I need something that can carry me and my luggage 250 miles on motorways once or twice a week, and carry me and the wife 50ish miles round trip to work 2 or 3 times a week.
Any suggestions of bikes that would be suitable would be welcome. Please don't just say 'get an R1 or a Gixer 1000 or some other silly track bike, as whilst these are undoubtedly great bikes they are clearly not comfy or practicle for long motorway comutes. or are they?
My current short list looks something like this:
1. ducati st3.
2. triumph sprint st.
3. Honda VFR.
4. BMW f800
5. fazer 1000
6. sv1000s.
7. cbr600f
8. honda dullville
I know the variety of bikes on there shows just how confused i am. so help me out please. Oh i am 6ft 1 and want something that will protect me from wind blast - so no nakeds.
