Just took Ethan through all the photos. He quite liked the MT09 but prefers the F700GS and the F800GT

Too tall also. I tried one after getting the storm. I have no problem riding tall bikes but I wouldn't want to live with one if you get me.

I am a bit on the vertically challenged side and I know what you mean . a tall bike with someone on the back is not good when you are parking up and suchlike :thumbdown: :roll:

That would really piss Ethan off!! Maybe I'll use that as punishment.

Yes, what is it with that new exhaust shape/style? Aesthetically, I don't like it either. Does it accommodate a cat or something?

I'd love the new R1200RS but not sure of the seating position (and cost!!!)

The front runners which will be tested to the limits over the coming months are;

F700GS
F800GT (might not be the right seating positioning for me but will give it a go)
Tiger Sport
Capponord (might be cost prohibitive)

Need to get the DRZ back on the road to refresh my skills first!! :twisted: :twisted:
