[haganap]

@drago35uk is your man for answering this.

He has one..in fact there isn't much he hasn't had. .he's trying to convince me that I should have one instead of a Harley..
Looked at a couple and really nice bike and great sound

@haganap you should have anything instead of a Harley

I quite fancied one but it looked a bit too hooligan and 'er indoors would never have managed on the back.

I just fancy a little bike again, thought it might fit the bill. 1200 Bandit is the most hooligan bike I've ever rode, brought out the best in me, I I mean worst

At least take a CB500X out for a decent run. All of 47 bhp. But what a sweet comfortable thing to ride. Very torquey, more than enough for the real world and a delight on back roads. 2016 saw 8000 miles in 8 countries and I want the same again this year.

In action.....

You want a nice little GSXR1000

Bit of a difference getting off a 187-BHP sidecar to 47 BHP

 

[Stealaway]

Rode a few and all round excellent - does it all but I think you would like the MT10 or maybe the 3cylinder version.

 

[bigtree]

Yep,the wife had this one for 4 years.I took it with me to Spain first year away,I didn't like it,numb bum in less than 100 miles and felt the front end was vague.Prefer my KTM Superduke.

Great videos, I will have to come touring with you, it's always sunny on your films!

Well I went from top heavy 650 Strom so only lost 20 bhp. It was/is deep joy. I've only thrashed it's nuts off once, following Jaws, who was doing impossible speeds on the Brenner Pass on an 1800 Wing. We did Calais to Movi with one stop in Mannheim and traffic was terrible. 47 bhp does far more than the numbers suggest. 80 cruise is relaxed and still a bit in hand to show 100.

Sunny! would you believe this was Scotland, 4 day's on the trot a couple of years ago

Oh and on a proper bike

Cant see the point in anything with more than two pots

Just bought one. Waiting for dealer to tell me it's arrived and ready. Can't wait.

Many a year ago now, I went from a Bandit (gotta agree, the most hooligan bike I've ever owned, was great fun tho) to a GSXR (which I still own and use to this day).

That said, my next bike will be a Street Triple R.

Got to win the lotto first tho, as I can't see me ever selling the GSXR. So I need a win to buy my second dream bike

All the race reps, head down ass up etc, but this looks a bit appealing & allegedly nimble

 

[bigtree]

Or you could wait for the KTM Duke 790,google it it looks shall I say interesting.

So get on with it. Good weather is not far off.

 

[pappajohn]

Just as well you have to wear a helmet Brian, my ears are bleeding just watching the video with all that engine rattling and clattering going on in the 2cain video. You'd be deaf inside 1/2 an hour.

That was my first attempt - so turn the volume down. What a ride that was.

That's cheating having the race line marked out for you

I wish i had put my camera on the bike last year when i had a day in the Tarn gorge with the 690,it was the best ride I have ever had.

The roads were empty as it was the 12th of October,I couldn't believe the grip and lines that I took through the bends,hoped to do the south tarn the next day from Millau but it started raining and never stopped so headed for Spain.

That does look interesting, probably a bit petite in terms of seat height to pegs compared to my KTM 1290 SA, but would make a great fun bike. Bet it would fit on the Easylifter Hydratrail nicely though...

I lived in Whaley Bridge for 25 years so I know the roads in your first video very well, both on powered 2 wheelers and pedal power.

We are spoiled for great roads in the Peak District. Only problem being townies at the weekend. I don't ride the single track roads then, too many close calls from idiots who think they can just hurtle into blind tight corners, I survived on a bike but I think I'd have at least one head on in a car.

 

[Jo662]

Iv riden a few and they are great to ride.
Getting off a GSXR1000 they are totally
different but a nice comfy ride and plenty
of power!
