  1. I’m looking at an upright sports bike (you know, power but with belly clearance room) and keep looking at 1098 and 848 streetfighters. Loved my 848s.

    But just can’t to it. To worried it will go pop. Gearbox will let go. Can’t use quickshifter.

    Irrational?!

    Shame, few out there in range at the mo and like the being and twins.

  3. If I was looking for a road chariot I might get a BMW S1000R Sport. Borrowed one to go to the NW200 and I was very impressed.... Either that or a track slag 1098R ;):laughing:

  11. Would not go near a Triumph with someone else’s money!

    The 1290 is out of price range, and older versions look too much like a buell...

  12. What about a BMW r1200r you will be surprised how well they go and conventional front end as well.

  14. I think this might be the best bike i have ever owned. You are welcome to have a blast on mine if you like (top of the M25).

    I had never really looked at BMW's before and don't really like the cars if i am honest, but it just does everything so well, and comfortably too. I actually think its quicker than my 1198 as it gets the power down so well, would imagine it's very hard to get it unstuck.

    And it also poodles around town like a scooter.
