How about a Hyosung. Great bikes. Reliable, immense build quality, great electrics, fast, comfy, look the shizzle, 2 up touring a breeze, great warranty, amazing dealer back up.
To add to the CBF1000 saga my father-in-laws 12 plate with 3000 miles on the clock is with the dealer and has been for over a week. it conked out while he was riding and wouldn't start again. last time i spoke to him they had replaced the ignition coil and this has not fixed it... in short they do not know what is wrong lol.How about a V-strom 1000 or a TDM900?
