I love the fazer, its awesome for everything I need ever but for some reason I have an insatiable urge to have a large capacity single cylinder bike. I was just wondering if any of you have one or have had experience of them. I love off road bikes, the look, sound, feel and ability to actually green lane etc which is great fun. They're comfortable for me too because I'm tall. The usability and low down torque seems like it would be so much more fun for my everyday riding style as I only commute 15 miles a day all on 30 - 40 mph nice twisty roads and town riding. If any of you have ridden any of the following, I was wondering if they are good for commuting, a good laugh, can handle sitting at 70mph if needs be and can take pillions in reasonable comfort.
Suzuki DR - 650
Kawasaki KLX - 650
Honda XR - 650
Yamaha XT - 660
MZ Baghira
The only thing holding me back is I love the fazer and am worried I would regret selling it, but at the same time I think I would love any of the above bikes and they would be such a laugh which I think is the most important aspect of biking. The fazer is such a swiss army knife as well although I guess the above bikes are too other than touring which would be possible just not as comfortable. Reaaallly stuck with what to do :\
