An Extension To Buck's Update - Discussion About Moving Up From A 250cc

[kiwifruit]

I used to browse trademe, and bikepoint, read specs on bikes, read other opinions on how great they thought XXX bike was, search the web for reviews of bikes that were on my list, swap emails with insurance companies about how much XXX bike would cost, find pictures of bikes on my list from different angles .. the list goes on.

its a sport looking for a new bike! great fun, we really are spoiled for choice in this day and age.
look forward to seeing what you get buck.....
ive never riden any of the bikes mentioned apart from the sv650, which was great
i like what the w650 stands for.....
good luck with your decision!

Thanks for your replies, still early days, I see that Kawasaki have a 'multi-strada' style coming out in November and this could stack up against the V-strom, could be interesting to see.
