Best LAMS bike for long road?

[laulopilote]

Hello everyone

I was wondering what were the best lams bike if you use to ride a lot ?
I mean I am coming to NZ for 3-4 years and i am looking for a good lams bike to visit the country !

Which bike is the most comfortable ? and affordable ?

But i also the Naked and sport style bike !

First i though about the ninja 650LAMS ER6F OR the ER6N LAMS and now i am checking the Honda CB500F and the Suzuki 650 V Strom

I would like to know your point of view of what is the bike for the situation !

Sorry for bad english ( I'm French ) :laugh:

Look on www.trademe.co.nz for the biggest list of motorbikes for sale in NZ, new and second hand.

Will you want to just tour the roads, or would you want to do some adventure riding as well?

For being in NZ just a few years, you'll be better off financially buying second hand. What's your budget? What's your experience on motorbikes?

Actually i'm new in the world of motorcycle i only have a scooter for 3 years (50 cc and 125 cc) i already drove my friend's motorcycle for a week

For visiting NZ i'll stay on paved roads not onto dirt road

V Strom, unless you're short as it's a relatively tall heavy bike... and yes I am biased! :)

I commute in Wellington on mine and just had my first biggish trip a few weeks back where I ended up driving through snow for an hour getting back to Wellington from Tauranga. Certainly not any great skills on my part, the bike carried me through without missing a beat! I now know what it looks like when the frost warning light comes on.

Our highest speed limits are 100km/h and it is policed fairly strictly. With your experience I wouldn't rule out looking at 250cc-400cc bikes as well. Have a look on trademe.
