As the title suggest I'm relatively new to the world of motorcycles having just recently passed my test.
A quick bit about me: I've been riding for just over 2 years but only on a Yamaha MT125 (which I found fun but quickly grew out of.) Trained and took my test on a Kawasaki Z650 (which I found abit boring and uninspiring.) I'm 6ft1, 18+ stone and looking for a beefy kinda bike to cruise about on over the summer weekends. Not for commuting and not a maniac for speed.
I've been obsessing about my next bike since I bought my first bike and have spent 2 years trying to figure out what is best for me, my riding style, my ability, my size and for the type of riding I would like to be doing.
I think I know what I want but without riding an endless amount of bikes I just find myself flip flopping between a few and then going full circle back to the start where I was 2 years ago .
I think I've narrowed it down to the XSR900 and the XJR1300 (newer models.)
I really like the retro/modern vibe and naked sports bike look.
However, I'm quite a reserved rider looking for a sensible bike with decent power but not something that is gonna tempt me to be a hooligan.
Are either of these 2 bikes a decent idea for me or is there a better option?
Any advice or assistance would be massively appreciated thanks in advance
