  • Anyway thanks all. I'm going to dial back the bikes I'm looking at.

  • Look at the 600 super sport category, beyond that on the road is pretty pointless. The MT/Street Triple ergonomics are all a bit more upright.

    Pick a bike for the way the frame feels. Power figures and electronics are not as important as weight distribution and the way you fit the bike. Best to have a bike where you can ride out a tank slapper or muscle it deeper into a corner if that's what keeps you on the road.

    Same thing you are saying about corners, you need to be inside the ergonomic envelope for the bike. So your own weight, height and strength determine the kind of bike you'll be able to really enjoy.
