Hadn’t really considered the triumph but I will definitely have a look. I’d love to buy British if I can! That website is brilliant. Thanks for that.

Very much second hand and cheap! Around £1500 ish I would think. Nice info on inclines though ta. I hadn’t thought of that but it makes sense. I do prefer a wider tank that I can grip but I suppose it does effect the ability to put your feet down. I’m going to have a looks t a few at a local dealer this weekend so we shall see.

I don’t mind small and I don’t mind a twin, but I don’t really fancy a full sports bike tbh. I’d rather something a little more upright position wise. I have looked at a fazer yes, but I’m not a huge fan of half fairings. Underrated bike though by all accounts and could be a shout.

Hi all, just joined and already after advice! I know, always after something! Thing is I passed my test years ago and immediately went out and bought an old ZXR750 H1, which terrified me, then broke my shoulder on a wet drain cover, handily placed in the middle of a corner. anyway long story short I switched to cruisers as I was not really bothered about speed but wanted to be comfortable, and I haven't looked back since. Now however, I have had to scrap my old Virago and am saving up to buy something newer and bigger, but I find myself bikeless and I have a hankering to try something a but sportier for a season. so basically im looking for some advice on what would work. I am not tall and have short legs so something with a low seat height would be good, comfort is important, power isn't so much, but it would be nice to be able to throw something into corners a bit more. so far ive been looking at CB600, SV650, Bandit, etc. but also considering an older sports tourer like a VFR or ZZR. Any other options? any favourites? am i being stupid moving out of what im comfortable with? Thanks for your help all Alex
