A comfortable ride

[crashe]

Umm, sorry guys, I will be carefully storing Andrew's bike for him, starting it regularly to keep it going and giving it the odd gentle ride while he is temporarily indisposed...

So where are you going to put your bike then?

I have seen your garage.... and there aint room for two m/bikes in there...
with the car and all the pushbikes.


So will the car go outside... with all the pushbikes...

you are still on about the bike, aren't you..??

6, I'd just go round a few shops when you've got a couple of hours to burn, and just plonk yer butt on a bike and see what you think. There's so many bikes all with their own style and position, that you could spend a life time listening to people and still get no where. Just get your butt on a few, then narrow it down that way, then go ride some, and see which clicks the best..

Thanks Bugs, your right the TLR would be more comfortable than a Gixxer, but less comfortable than a VFR for example.

how bout a nice TL S?

The car will go outside of course, all the bikes will remain inside...

I know, but you just couldn't resist could you. At least I have sat and passed mine, now I'm just waiting for the paperwork...

You could try mah speed four, the position is probably what you're after, dunno if you want the reduction in power though :P Otherwise a speed triple would be the shiznit.

Look's like i am going in to surgery for a prolapse disc soon and when i get out i will in all likely hood nead a more comfortable ride.
Who on the site has a comfortable bike that is still reasonably sporty, i love my 'custard' GSXR, but find the position to severe.

Take the RF for a blat anytime you want mate... I expect it'll probably do what you want...

I've been increasingly thinking of something like the latest Speed Triple to ease the aches and pains, but hope to hang on for another couple of years as I love the 'bird to bits.

So you get a few aches and pains from the Bird do you Geoff? I find the CBR the most comfy compared to previous bikes I've owned, Gixxer750 & Fireblade to name two.

Sixpack, I'd consider it but mine is a '97 and getting close to 50k on the clock, plus I havn't got any $$ to pour into a newer bike at present.

Ps. LOVE the new avatar!

What do you think of an FZ?

Thanx for the kind offers Guys, much appreciated. Unfortunatley i have been banned from biking for some time, once i get better i may just take you up

Try the sit up position on the Triumph Tiger, GS series BMW (650 - 1150) or even the Suzuki V-Strom. In other words, time for an adventure/ tourer!

basically a Mille with MX bars - but NOT DETUNED.
most nakeds are softened a little in the power stakes - not this little biatch..
oh, and peter doak at emoto brings them in from japan at good money too...
worth a ride.
