I found a Hein Gericke shop not too far from work and tried a whole selection of different ones. Ended up with some "Maddox" boots that score zero for style, but full marks for comfort and keeping the water out.

£2500 should get you a reasonable pointy. I paid under £2000 for a scruffy SK4 with a rather suspect exhaust, but it's my first big bike so I didn't want anything too shiny. Just like buying cars, it's worth taking along a mate who knows something about bikes when you go shopping.

Good luck with the test,

Keith.
