Well. After driving a CBR600RR3 yesterday, it almost definitely wont be a sports bike. Its far too easy to end up doing silly speeds on them without really trying. I want something that i can feel like i'm gunning, not something that if you tickle the throttle has you doing 135mph :wink:


So on that basis, (to keep the speeds below the ton most of the time) its probably going to be a naked 600. Maybe a street triple. If only there werent 2 dithering owners who possibly, potentially, maybe, kind of wanted to sell me theres. :lol:

In the nicest possible way, you're a big lad, surely you'd look more at home on a speed triple.

Not really that much faster but roomier and with more grunt :shock:

Naked bike rules still apply, if you can hold on at 100+ for long your arms will drag when you get off :wink: Great for core workout though :thumbsup

the over riding feeling i've had so far, is that bikes with less power are more fun. If its a lower powered toy, you can skelp its arse, and get the satisfaction of the skelping. If its got more power, you just end up doing silly speeds.

hence a 675, rather than a 1050.



p.s my arms drag before i get on :lol:
