Comfortable Sportsbike?
Discussion
Hi all. So Have just got into bikes late (mid 40's). Did all my training and tests on naked middleweight bikes (CB650 + ER6) and bought an MT07 shortly after. Really enjoying the bike and getting more riding experience.
Have alway been intrigued by sportsbikes but been too intimidated to try one out in terms of how powerful they are and my lack of experience.
My aim eventually is to go on long tours throughout Europe perhaps next summer or after. Are there sports bikes out there that are comfortable for long rides (I am 5ft 11, 15 stone) in terms of foot peg/knee position and overall comfort?
Or when I do trade up would something like a MT10/S1000R make more practical sense? My knowledge of sports/touring bikes is very limited, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers guys.
