This shouldn't be as long winded as a "which bike" because I've got it down to 2.
90 odd miles a day and with a full 35 litre top box and big heavy ruck sack strapped to the pillion, up to London and back all year round.
Bit of a Brucie in that I can now keep the Tiger and the Fazer in addition to a new work bike.
The choices are:-
2007 - 2010 CBF1000 with ABS. Should be a good commuter with comfort and reliability and have the ability for a bit of fun and touring.
2007 - 2010 700cc Deauville with ABS. Should be a good commuter especially with shaft drive and better weather protection. All day comfy, no fun (FZS for that) but will tour AND will carry a bit more kit in the side panniers and front storage bins.
I know someone on here has a biffer but will take all views on board as I know no one who owns either. Any experiences of any description greatly appreciated. Please remember this is to be a tool for work.
Looking forward to the slagging of my choices :lol . Examples below

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
