Well, after several emails and so on with an esteemed member of the forum and past forums into times immemorial, I seem to have got myself lined up for a new to me bike.
Much like the car question - what bike should a Vicar ride?? Norton Commando was be lovely, Brough Superior even better, but I am talking about more modern options please!
So answers on a card and (no cheating Weeksy!) the nearest will get a healthy glug of communion wine when I take the services next year!

An MZ?

I've ridden one of those Simsons. I might try to find a photo... But no, just a bit too small for me.

Ooh I like that. Love it as a project, but KFB and G.P. are the closest. K1200R... prised from RB's hands next month.

Ah, I had a hunch it was RB's R, but I'd thought it was a 13, not a 12.
Either way, bloody nice bike and iirc it was a proper bargain.

Nicked a picture from Rockburner to host on my image server. Lovely thing this! So shiny for now.
