Go and try an R1250R or R1250RS :eek
Last year I test rode an MT10 and the new CB1000R. I wasn’t really convinced by either. So then I decided to try the R1250R. I was only trying it because I was disappointed with the MT10 and CB1000R. I didn’t expect to like it, but it blew me away. Fantastic bike. And it’s seriously and effortlessly quick. The low-down grunt is just outrageous, and unlike the old air cooled boxers it’s got plenty up top too.
You might surprise yourself.
Car? I’ve had my Yeti 4x4 for almost 4 years now. The primary reason was getting a car I could get my late mother in and back out of. It wasn’t really what I wanted, but I’ve really grown to like it. And I love 4wd, bring on the snow!
Haha yes I remember the thread and while they are nice looking bikes (especially the new one with matching headlights) they just aren't my cup of tea. Really not a fan of boxer or twin engines. I'm a sucker for a good old inline 4 plus I'm a big believer in Japanese build quality over euro bikes. I know it doesn't make much difference these days but I hear of a lot less problems with jap bikes than I do of beemers (cars included)
I've ridden loads of different bikes to try and figure what I wanted next and nothing has really impressed me. All I could work out is that I want my bike but with more practicality, I cant bring myself to buy the FZ1-S then do all the mods again so the Kwak is the next best (better) thing. I will more than likely mod the engine again to eek some more BP out of it but leave the rest standard to make insurance a lot simpler
I'm actually a fan of the yeti, ever since I got back on the bikes I've started liking practical cars more and more Haha
We need a slightly bigger vehicle now the kids are growing, I'd love an estate but it's a joint car with the missus so we have to compromise. We both like the Hyundai and Kia so unless anything new comes out I'd think itll be one of them
