Long distance weekly runs....your expert suggestions

[Stu]

I would even deliver it for 4K but yeah otherwise v. happy

I really like G/J Model zx6r's however I thought that the valve gear needs regular attention which would be costly if you do big miles unless you are handy with a spanner ?

Cheers Steve

Unlucky my friend, me, and the current owner have had over 70MPG out of my old K5 SV.

Not really... I never had it below 50MPG, just cos I weigh feck all I guess. Not that I rode it that slow at all, even when I was out on the Catherine wheel run on the Falco I got 42MPG.

So what bike is going to be bought for doing the job? Or is it just going to be the SV?

LMAO... Meeting you should be a laugh, little and large

Some good advice coming through, although not too sure about a 600 IL4. They would need too high revs with a fat ******* like me on the back. If I go sporty then perhaps the 955 Daytonna or a zx9r. I honestly think that a blackbird will have me banned before Spring is over!!!!

I will be back in the UK at the end of this month, so I will try and orginise a few test rides from various outlets along westgate road.

I quite liked the dauville suggestions, but when I showed it to the GF it got a strong NOOOOOOOOO. If one is around I will give it a go though, even if its just to **** her off. Cheers All
