I think it’s important to try out as many types/makes of bikes as you can over your biking career - personally i’d find it a bit boring replacing a bike with the same or similar bike - unless it was very special.
I could never get rid of my moto, even with the troubles she has given me lately, if/when i can afford to have 2 bikes id try different types but untill then MOTO’s all the way
As far as trying as many makes and configurations, go for it. I would have another TL all day long given the choice, bay far the most engaging bike I have ever ridden or owned.
Don’t make a hasty decision, but the gsxr750 has always been a classic everyday choice, and between that and an R6, go for the gixer.
Have fun whatever.
Whatever you get, next time we go for a proper ride, you’ll be wishing you’d gone for the mans choice and braved the TL…:w00t:
Ratty - everybody will have their own opinion and funnily enough it will generally sway to the direction of the bike they own.
Try as many bikes as possible and get whats feels good for you. All of the 4 Jap supersports bikes are awesome machines and will do what you ask of them so it really is down to personal preference. Whatever you decide - I’m sure you’ll love it
This is a little more outré, more your style I think Ratty old bean, this example displays the dent in the lower muffler so beloved of the more rakiish blades of our club.
As I said to you the other day, go where your heart takes you Ratster, all 3 of them scoots are top machines. i personally would have gone for the Gixxer but if your heart says R6 you go for it mate… Enjoy and stay safe mate:cool:
You’ll be back to the Vee Side in time I have no doubt;)
