Anyone want to buy some slightly-squashed dead bugs? I seem to have a few spare...

Not totally sure yet. A sports/tourer in the 600cc to 750cc range at this stage.
Have a few in mind, just need to test ride and compare

Chances are I'll be shot down on this and you've heard it before from more experienced riders..but, one of the biggest differences I've seen between bikes is the weight and the handling characteristics going onto corners. A larger heavier bike has totally different dynamics so that is important in your choice. A lot of the twins have amazing engine braking and slow you down faster for corner entry.

Have fun testing but don't rush a purchase just because you can. If what you've got now works well for you keep it until you find that bike that makes your heart stop(figuratively).

I would not shoot down good advice like that. Thanks for that, am not in a rush, I will know once I ride the right bike.
