So , does size matter ? - slimwilly - 20-12-15
Soon i will be chopping the bike in, yes easy, i am totally 1000cc minded, perhaps blinded, well they are awesome to ride.lol
Now not the Noggy route,lol he's stupid
I weigh under 12 stone, nw thinking clever,,i dont need a big engine,,a 600 or 7 or 8 will skuttle me along nicely,, but this is where the benefits will come,,,,total weight , oe lack of it..
I need a bike to go 130 or 140,,why,,incase i do a bank job missus.
I sat on a couple of dukes, super motard and the small strada,,seemed plenty big enough.
Plus they cost a whole lot less than 1000cc bikes,
There is the tiger 800 sport, looks a dream, met a chap at the oasis could not praise them more.
So what other models lurk with a bit of fairing to hide behind on the european rain circuit ?

There isn't a Tiger 800 Sport. All the 800s are 'Adventure' bikes in road (XR) and (supposedly) off-road (XC) versions. There is a 1050 Sport.

Depends what you want to do with it , if your looking for something for longer distances , then bigger is more practical , but if your looking for some thing for weekend blasts then the middleweight are fine and just as much fun , lots of choice out there and don't worry/ about cost that's what PCP is for .

Re: So , does size matter ? - Frosties - 21-12-15

Re: So , does size matter ? - Val - 21-12-15
sounds to me as MT10
Re: So , does size matter ? - Gnasher - 21-12-15
Avoid small Ducati's with twins size really does matter.
Take a look at the Z800 there'e better the the Mt-09 just read the reviews before all thoughs who have them start screaming "rape" :rollin [size=1em]sure MT is cheaper only because they aren't selling that well[/size]
Sorry guys but I think your find it's true, ride them back to back and you're see what I mean the Kawa is way better.
Re: So , does size matter ? - slimwilly - 21-12-15
ok, so Hedgetrimmer has taken to drink !!!! :lol
Ok Tiger 800 whatever,, adventure bike,,could be good ,
Kwacker z800,, well will it be a lot less weight than the thou?
Nimble. comfy, fast, lightweight, ummmm
(oh ,,where's Noggy?)
Re: So , does size matter ? - mtread - 21-12-15
I've got a Tiger 800. It's not nimble, and it's certainly not light. Comfy though
As said Street Triple is an obvious choice
Re: So , does size matter ? - slimwilly - 23-12-15
Z800 is only 10 kg lighter than Z1000, is it worth 30bhp drop ?
When I do get around to lifting the cover off my bike I will fall in love with it again and say fuck it !!! :lol

That extra 30bhp will cost you £2k :eek you pays your money you takes your choice
Re: So , does size matter ? - slimwilly - 23-12-15
I must say those street triple 'R' s are looking good, no fairing I know, and bloody good value used ones.

DON'T! Just stop it!
I'm trying to forget I want one of these, as I quite like the feeling of having some money left in the bank :'(

At the moment my next bike will be the street triple
Re: So , does size matter ? - RedClive - 23-12-15
I can't ride a Street Triple or Speed Triple; as well as being naked the riding position is all canted forward - I feel too near the ensuing accident
.I agree the Tiger 1050 R (or Sport) was a brilliant ride and has a 'Fazer' look about it, but you are looking at a 5 figure price which put me off, along with pricey servicing. Second hand ones that have done a Winter still rust and corrode.
Just a thought, I took out a Fazer 8. They didn't get the best press, but I thought it looked good and the engine is an absolute peach. Suspension was under-damped was my only complaint but perhaps it wasn't set up properly. Best of all they come at the right money - more like £5K for a mint low miler?

S1000XR I have to say I like it :lol
