  • Seems tough to find something low and planted with good handling for traffic, but capable of motorway speeds and lightweight luggage handling... without going megabuck.

    Modern or with a slight OG look?

    SV650. Monster 695, Street triple, ER6, Z650. All these are great for what you're looking for. Street Triple was a riot to own, but attracts a lot of itchy fingers and tends to give you a heavy wrist for shits and giggles.

    @skinny I was utterly smitten by the 990 adeventure. It was like an even wilder Street Triple. Seat was just too damned high, and the GF didn't like that V-twin shunt.

    Haha that's the best bit. I am still in trouble for an accidental wheelie off the lights with Mrs Skinny on the back!

    Yeah for me at 185cm it's perfect height.

  • We had a wee tour on a Multistrada which was surprisingly less refined fueling wise, but I just think she doesn't like Twins, whereas for me the overrun after bouncing of the limiter is just a joy.
    I tried a GS last week. It's a wafting sofa and very tempting, but there's such little character its hard to get excited about hitting the starter.
