I'm currently on an SFV650 which tbh is a great bike, plenty of low end, lovely through the bends but when I'm out with my mates on sportier bikes and we hit a few longer straights I do find myself lagging a bit. It's mint for the 0-60 and alright a bit beyond that but I feel like it could do with a bit extra oomph at higher speeds.
I fancy the look of one of these retro style bikes but still want a decent amount of performance. I love the look of both but which is a better/quicker ride? Or if I'm that bothered about performance should I go for the MT09 or Z900; in people's opinion which us better for some spirited country roads riding?
I'm doing a long weekend and wanted something a bit easier to get on and off than my soft panniers. Found two tail bags that I like and they seem almost identical online. One is SW Motech (£155) and the other is Autokicker (£80). Am I paying for a name or am I paying for quality? The reviews aren't much use. Found one that said the Autokicker got a tear in the lining but rest say its good. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sw+motech+cargo+bag+tent+bag&client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-browser&dcr=0&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwicldnvgczYAhUOEVAKHbZ1AsAQ_AUICigC&biw=360&bih=512&dpr=3#imgrc=ckuJOXt6fc_8xM: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=autokicker+companion&client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-browser&dcr=0&prmd=svin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFm6ndqc7YAhWOCuwKHT1lBuEQ_AUICygD&biw=360&bih=512#imgrc=kNsK5gvoVEzEmM:
