I've been touring scotland for 11 days & racked up almost 2,800miles on the RF recently. got home yesterday & decided on the trip i need a more upright bike as im just not keen on the lent forward thing.
anyway went out a testrode a few things today & tomorrow im talking figures with a bloke about one. as soon as i got on it, it felt right. easy to ride, does everything i want & basicly it was just 'me'. hopefully temptation will be resisted, as i suspect a GSX1400 with power commander & acokovic (spelling?) system could be a bit much for a recent learner unless im careful.

yup sure felt it. just under 30mph in 6th, wind on a little bit of power & it just goes. how it'll go when using all the power i've no idea. should be fun though

fazer is ugly as sin though & i've done some long trips in crap weather on my old bonnie. the lack of a fairing is probably a good thing as it'll keep my licence happier.
