Hi guys, the other half's giving me (nearly) carte blanche however you'd spell it on a new to me pair of wheels to replace the ageing Fazer, I've gotten a dillema as in what to get.
Always had full-on sports bikes up til' the FZS but as I'll not be using it much a K6 GSXR750 or a Daytona 675 is a daft notion for a ride into Bristol for a haircut so looking in a different but still sports direction about the only thing I can see as a possible is a Tuono so doing some research on 'em, hence signing up here.......
Had a spin on an FZ1 a while back and tho' rapid it a) didn't pull the horizon into the past like I'd expect and b) riding position, too sat up and wasn't much fun holding on a 100 plus when you rather need to be using the bars to control the thing, not using them to hang on, it needed a fairing and clip-ons, so needed to be an R1, which brings me to the Tuono. Have yet to have a ride so can't say how I'll like the feel of one but local dealer's got a couple in and with a weeks' notice give you an hour to go on your way so think that's next port of call.
I'll be back.
