Default Re: Help with bike choice

Consider this?

44000 on mine, 2000-3000mile 2week, two up trips abroad every year. 500mile days are easy (if you have to!). 10 minutes to turn it from a blaster to a tourer (4 bolts for the box and a tank harness). 150mph+ in either guise (err...if you have to!)....and the brakes to back it up. 22litre tank (160+miles). Weight fully loaded is a minus point for some people, but thats what wide bars, a low centre of gravity and big grunt from a tickle of the throttle are for. Bugger all to buy new and low insurance and servicing.

3HardCaseGivis- Bagalux - big daft screens? or Full systems-Yoshi cams-1550cc big bores- Ohlins? You can have the lot( ...if you have to!)

"A magic carpet with a rocket up its ****!"


Get some test rides in. My only concern about the 14 was going nekkid. If it was comfy at 80mph I was having it.

It was and then some.

Good luck!
