Your pick for best comunter?

[McFatty1000]

In that price range, options are way too many to list. Go round shops and ride everything you like the look of at all. Then get on trademe and buy whatever you liked best.

No two cunts on here will ever agree on anything.

Well, that'd change if someone would agree with me for once...

im not shy on the split. in moving traffic bike size is not often a concern, though some sections (harbor bridge) have narrower lanes and the concrete barrier seems to have a force-field that extends out from it a metre, pushes the cars closer together. long queues at lights are something else, retards that have half changed lanes or whatever can make things tight. i cant count the number of times i've squeezed through gaps with mirrors 5mm from either handlebar.

narrower bikes do tend to have narrower bars though, particularly on sports bikes i reckon. its not a deal breaker.

would love a duke 690 but way outta my price range sadly.

have given me some things to think about though! cheers folks.

i definitely want something with a bit more power (inevitably). comfort not so important as my commute is only about 30 minutes.

Good luck finding anybody to agree with that ...

its funny people say to big for splitting,,,,the wideste thing on most bikes is the handlebars or riders knees.If i commuted on the GS i would be splitting with the rest,.

I commuted on an R65 all last year, it was perfect for that, cheap to run etc....sold it and picked up a BMW R100 RT , with panniers....
the R100 at the widest point ( mirrors) is 75mm narrower than the R65, at first I was a bit hesitant on splitting but now its fine, awesome in the crap weather but ugly as.
Did a few months on a 200cc Scootah and you get even less respect on that than a bike.
Working on a 500cc Guzzi at the moment so when that's vinned its the new commuter

Yes they fucking will!

That 690 would be my pick, but not for your price. Yet. Plenty of mid to big motardy things in reach though.

Stu, your fuckin stocks just went up bro!

Practicality is for fags.

[st00ji]

hah. yeah actually it would be more than fine, just hard to justify spending that much when i can get something perfectly suitable for half the price.

wife has twins on the go so budget is a concern

have also read a few things online about those 690s having real electrical meltdowns when exposed to weather, not good for something that i would be riding rain or shine.

You're losing me bro. I don't understand the question.

RF900 then. Go well, cheap to run, thrive on neglect, and do sick fucking wheelies if ya got the balls.

You're welcome.

I agree with you.

Oh fuck! Guess that makes me a cunt.

[Drew]

I agree with you.

Oh fuck! Guess that makes me a cunt.

I think that would make neither of us cunts, since no two would agree...I'm still a cunt though.

[Brayden]

I saw a guy with a supermoto that motherfuckers bike was narrow as fuck he was fitting through some obscene gaps! I would def get a motard/supermoto as my next bike

[MIXONE]

I find that a ducati monster fills the bill.Commute on it every day.
