fastbob Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Adventures and tourist bikes aren't really my type, like I prefer naked, SM's or race bikes, those are more my style, for example I like the look of the BMW GS but it's not something I'd ride because theyre huge and heavy, I'm more for aggressive type of riding, like going low on corners, wheelies and all thatBut thanks for the advice anyway 1. "Best bike" is a very subjective thing. Best at what?Every year there is an award for European Best Car of the Year. Each year it is won by a bland family friendly hatchback which almost nobody I know would say they really want to get that car. But according to the voters it's the best. The only way to find what's best for you is to do the research, go look at, sit on, price up the bikes, and ride them once you have the appropriate licence.2. Comments like this really boil my piss. Loads of forum members have taken time out to give good sound advice, and then you reveal that all you want is to dick around. If you're gonna do that on the road buy something old and tatty with engine bars cos you're gonna crash it ..... a lot!Best advice - pass your car test, buy a van, buy a motocrosser or track bike, then do your dicking around away from the roads we all use with a modicum of common Sense.Nothing personal dude - just my opinion Pretty much what I said in post #4 Quote
