The V4 Psnis look good but the prices are just insane. I don't NEED anything and this is just a fun toy. The fun goes out of it when you start at about £25 grand!
Weight is the non negotiable element, ideally with a big bore kit added. Did you know there's a 433cc conversion for a 390?
Have you considered a Street Triple, weight is about 175kgs, goes from quiet and easy at low revs to out and out hooligan at top of the rev range, decent range, looks ok and took the missus down to Jerez last year so will do the mileage too.
Went to norf London to view some houses my daughter and her boyfriend were thinking of buying. God what a load of shite they were and of course the shysters that are trying to sell them were asking laughable amounts of money. No wonder they haven’t sold. As for the guys from the estate agents, I wouldn’t buy a bag of marbles from toe rags like that. They made my skin creep. On the way back I dropped in at Ducati Cambridge and sat on a couple of V4 Multistrada’s. Well, it was a grim drizzzzzzly day and I was going right past, how could I not? I think the sales guy was glad of someone to talk to. He was good, not pushy and we had a good bike chat. So next week I’ll go back test ride a Pikes Peak, if it stops drizzzling.
We are getting an expensive mongrel aka as a Cavapoo. I’m hoping our current shit machine aka American Bulldog (35kg so quite a big bugger) gets on with it and tries to mother it and doesn’t see the pup as a healthy little snack!
My daughter and her boyfriend have a Cavapoo, lovely little dog and very intelligent too. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
