@nick_h. I’m not keen on the BMW’s. However, I know people that own and love them.
What I want is a pocket rocket. But my budget is small, and I have no intention of going up to or over 1000cc if I can help it.
Like @jambon alludes to. I want the XJ600 with double the power. I love how it handles in traffic, I like the power curve, and I am satisfied with the weight.
Regardless of penis size, I fancy trying a sports bike. But I don’t fancy getting out of shape on every tiny imperfection in the road or in my technique.
Maybe what I want is to overtake without shifting down and ragging it til I have to upshift just to avoid hitting the limiter.
Okay, okay. A 900 or thou would mean I never hit the limiter unless I’m evading something with blue flashing lights. But I still want to feel a little bit of satisfaction like I had to work to get to speed.
As it is, it’s effort to get over 100mph. I don’t care to go over that speed, I just want to reach it much faster with fewer gear changes.
If the bike happens to hit 120 or 140, I can always carry extra Tena Man.
