Oh dear, a "Which Bike Thread"... I need suggestions

[Bytor]

this is what i'd have given $25k. Think it fits your criteria perfectly

[James Deuce]

Apart from looking good.

You need to read very carefully Bytor - he has already eliminated all the bikes that would suit the needs described in the first post!

Its not even on the positive chart, even neutral, its so far ugly... I'm not exactly a poser, but at least I have to like it!!

[Bytor]

Yeah, but ugly chicks always give you a better ride

What about a Ducati 1000 SS or Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille???

[saltydog]

Why not a 08 R1 in black, with all the ohilins fruit on it?
Huh?

Sportsbikes... not wanting one of those... High speeds are not very far past a turn of the throttle, and stuff the nonsense about controlling the wrist, I like to demand large amounts of throttle and then have fun handling it... without seeing 2xx kph on the speedo.

How about ZX12r but 2003 upwards only, wider and better design of air intake. Do have a similar problem, started to search myself, want to upgrade from 600, a bit small. Pretty much similar requirements, plus pillion friendly.

[McJim]

Okay Gremlin. So now you have told us all at length what you don't want what DO you want?

How about a Wakan?

12 is pillion friendly... but don't be fooled by the physical size of it, it has serious grunt, and loves eating miles at serious rates, with a LOT of torque

I don't know... thats why I started the thread...

Had my nose to the grindstone for a while, so shopping for a bike has been put on hold. The CB1000R only comes out in October (or later) and initially I thought it would be too late... but at the rate time is racing past, meh, may as well wait, see if I like it.

10 hasn't sold yet either, so no big rush.

No it aint, I did a measure up and the leg room for the pillion is about the same as a 636.

I assume thats better than the 04 zx10... its very unfriendly for pillions. They spend their time sliding into me and around the seat... (not so bad for chicks )
