Ahh you sweet naive fool. He's married remember.
Decision his?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Bwhahaha ... so am I ... I get to buy the bike/s I want ... In fact I turned up with a brand new 1250 Bandit ... and told the wife I had just bought it ... her reply ? "Well, that will be cheaper to run than the BMW - the amount of money you've spent keeping that one on the road ..."
If she doesn't like it - she knows where the door is ..

Was actually going to suggest an R1200GS. I love mine (is a GS Adventure though). So versatile.Had you thought of a comfy adventure style bike. If your crashing mother is short, it would keep her off it
Seriously though, a comfy do anything adventure bike could be a real go. test ride a vstrom or similar.
Best Frenemy you could have!
You haven't met him then? What he lacks in stature the GS has (and then some)...
Needs to have a reasonable seat height for him to manage, and generally the road tourers are good for those with shorter legs.

Certainly have met the bugger. But a standard GS is an inch lower than ours anyway - chuck on a touratech low seat as well and no probs. I'm not exactly tall, he's not much shorter than I am.

I reckon you'd like a late 90's CBR1000F like what I've bought over here.

Turn the street triple into a bobber then put it on TradeMe for an outrageous price. Thats what others seem to do with their crashed bikes.
