Three options, one decision

[Phleep]

I can afford MV and second hand BMW, don't mind to wait for price of speed drops or second hand comes along at cheaper price


Did own street triple , R6 , MC22( super fun) and ridden gsx-s1000 of a friend for a while .looking for a bike which is mixture of sports and tourer which supernakes match to certain extend . I like the look and characteristics of MV , haven't ridden new Triple yet and going to try BMW soon .

Wouldn't a Triumph sprint be a better sports tourer? The faring provides shielding from the weather which will be appreciated on long or fast rides.

If I hadn't got such a great deal on the VFR the Sprint would have been a definite option for me. Very similar power.

That's heavy as bike and not my cup of tea

It doesn't sound like he wants a sport tourer, more like a nekkid sports. A hooligan toy

OP, also consider the likes of Tuono, Superduke and MT-10. Second hand or cheaper, the CB1000R may get a look in, perhaps the GSX-S1000

What about a B-King?

Its Naked, Comfy - a bit porky, but has that bulletproof 'Busa Engine.

BMW have now put that motor into a semi adventure bike which could be worth checking out. I feel though for a true BMW look it needs to have a boxer motor and they still make naked boxer roadbikes I think.

Semi adventure, not really, you'd be meaning the S1000XR, and it runs road tyres. Competitor to Multistrada.

Naked boxer, R1200R, semi faired, R1200RS

That S1000xr is very nice. Me Likely.

R1200RS for me please. That thing is absolute horns!

I looked at it briefly, but gaining things like power (which I probably shouldn't have) and losing fuel range, electrical capacity, adventure ability etc, the GSA remained a better choice...

The one thing I would love is cruise control.

It lacks in the zooom department on paper.

That's what S1000RR/XR is for

Boss rode the R1200R and didn't get it either.

You don't buy the boxer for screaming horsepower, it's advantage is the almost flat torque delivery.

I just can't get over the look of the s1000r as its so ugly to me , and I wanna have a smile when I look at my bike than wishing I had a bag to put over that face . I will consider other options you all mentioned

i did pick up on that to a degree but he described that he was "looking for a bike which is mixture of sports and tourer ". Faring makes for a much more pleasant sports tourer.
