What bike next??

Hi Horobags...nice to hear from you.

I recently sold a Transalp 600....which I regret doing. It had up rated suspension on front and rear and rode lovely......I’m a nob sometimes and get bored too easily...getting excited about what to buy next. Well I liked the crf250l I bought, but it aggravated my hip so that went, SH125 although lovely I was in two minds and sort of made an impulse buy.....lovely but a mistake at the minute. Anyway I said I wouldn’t have another cub or innova because I suffer with fibromyalgia and they’re a bit harsh on my body even with up rated shocks and the fact that I ride them more than any other bike when I own one adds to the problem. Anyway I just saw an innova for sale and couldn’t resist, even if I’m not out on it as much as I want to be it will still be in my garage for a day when I feel up to it.
So anyway I’m considering another Transalp not the 700 though. I find the 650 a bit cramp on my legs, the 600 having slightly more leg room...so may be another one of these as they have lovely engines and feel very well put together when you ride one.
Or a v strom 650, always fancied one with them been a v twin and there’s a foot peg lowering kit available.

I did have a look at the 250 v strom as I thought that might be a fun little bike that’s not too heavy...however I’ll see what turns up.
Also, the versy 300 caught my eye, but it seems to need very high revs and possibly the need to change gear often. I would certainly need my airhawk as the seat was hard when I sat on one.

What you got at the moment?

PM sent.

Unlikely with fibromyalgia, to head down arse up and even i tried to like the SV again its to hard on the wrists. Sit up & beg, leg room is order of the day (bum fidget space) but I'm sure Wuyang will point out if I'm wrong

My reply was to Wuyang.

Thanks for pointing it out...

Whoever bought that has an absolute bargain…lucky lucky .I was looking at a new 125 mode £2849 brand new …one two years old is £2900 ….the reason for this is there are no new bikes coming in until Dec/jan …second hand bikes are silly money .
