Recommend me a bike.

Tracer will be a good bike but still well out of my price range.


I've been looking at sensible criteria now for my next bike....i've done the crazy speed and tricked up experience. Now im after circa 200 miles from a tank because filling up after 130 miles is annoying. Also after a bit more comfort plus a high riding position.


As much as i love the sound of the little MT07....i think i'd look like a mutant on it plus it doesnt have the tank range i would like.


The SM singles would be fun but too uncomfy on longer runs which i predominently do.


The big SM's are still outta my price range such as the 990 adventure.


Ive been using the cycle ergo to get an idea of sizes and seating positions of different bikes and that has also led me to the 650 Versys.


Ive grouped a load of the usual suspects together by their seating positions. - see next posts.

Out of general curiosity Noggy, how often do you need to do 200 miles in one hit? That kind of tank range really does narrow down your choices (although in your case that might be best  :lol )


Couple others to look at would be the V Strom (650 or 1000, depending on what you fancy), perhaps TDM 900 would suit the bill?


This is again personal, but all of those though you'll find gutless after your FZ1 - they're all twins putting out something like 80 odd hp (the TDM might be a bit more) - its less than your old FZS had!
