One hell of a bike to ride though? I totally forgave it's ugliness (and it's not THAT bad??) when I rode one.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:30 pm I think you'd need to put the blinkers on to buy an MT-10, it really is very ugly
I’ve ridden one of them and they are very competent. But every big adventure/naked bike I’ve ridden is more exciting especially ones like the ktm super adventure,MT10 and s1000xr. They have more powerful torquey motors and like to wheelie. The Z1000SX is just another al IL4 and isn’t an exciting bike.Yorick wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 7:01 pmI don't really want a sports tourer.

Yorick in getting old shocker!
A sports tourer doesnt need 150hp, that's the thing. Bucket full of low end torque, healthy dose of mid range and a decent amount of top end because you generally dont ride them that hard.
The S1000 is looking OK

Totally agree about the s100zx, on paper it looks great, but I was so bored riding a demo one on a course for a few days!!Couchy wrote: Sat Dec 18, 2021 9:45 amI’ve ridden one of them and they are very competent.

Yup, he’s got to be careful as a light 200hp sportsbike is exciting but once you lose 60hp and gain 40kg the excitement goes unless you have a torquey engine and the z1000 isn’t that.Nordboy wrote: Sat Dec 18, 2021 9:49 amTotally agree about the s100zx, on paper it looks great, but I was so bored riding a demo one on a course for a few days!!Couchy wrote: Sat Dec 18, 2021 9:45 amI’ve ridden one of them and they are very competent.

I want fast with comfort.Cousin Jack wrote: Sat Dec 18, 2021 12:45 pm He's got a 200 bhp sports bike. It is 'too focused'.
So he wants something slower, softer, but still looks fast. Yorick is getting old.
I'd rather have a KTM
