I thought I would check in with Kiwibiker for a bit of advice.
Had a recent change of job location and with parking being a royal pain in the backside, I am going to be commuting by bike, current one is a 2001 Guzzi V11 Sport, yes it can do it but not it's forte and hell maybe I fancy a change.
Current thinking is :-
1) KTM 690 Duke - Fun when not commuting, reasonable service spacing, 2014 bikes not bad money, engines great and would seem like a good option for commute. Superficially looks like a good option but maybe a little fragile for commute purposes.
2) Aprilia Shiver - Fun but again how solid is this for long term day to day commute?
3) Kawasaki Z900 - Jap so assumed reliability, would be interested to know what they are like.
4) BMW F800R - Again 2014 bikes look good money, well spec'd but again any known issues?
Any other suggestions would be interested to hear, not to keen on Adv Bikes, had gen 2 Tiger 955i and frankly didn't really gel with it.
And anyone interested in a 2001 V11 Sport Rosso Mandello drop me a line, happy to discuss.
