As much as I love my FZ1 and the music the exhaust makes, I find that I wind it on a bit too much at times :eek and do it more often that not. Prior to this bike I had a Sprint 1050 but hated the service prices, riding position (even with bar risers) expensive add on extras but liked the fuel range and sound of the triple motor.
Thinking of another or second bike like a Vstrom, Tracer, Tiger or something along those lines as I prefer upright position. The Fazer is ok for about 90 minutes then I need to stretch my legs. Not looking for the fastest bike on the planet but something with a good fuel range would be handy and I'd like the option to throw a top box, tank bag and panniers on and disappear for a couple of days with the wife and equally some spirited riding when I'm on my own. I've looked on quite a few different forums but like us, there a bias bunch
For those of you who have a second bike or have left the fold what have you got or end up buying next. Probably looking at up to about £8k
