If I was having a modern bike I think i'd go for a GSX1400

[Elite Pete]

I'd also like a little Aprilia RS250 as a play thing

They're a great looking bike, other than that, I know sod all about them other than they're as economical as a V6 Omega.

This was my first bike a Yam MT-03, I passed my test on the exact same model, so played it safe and got one, 660cc single thumper:



I wanted more long-haul abilities though.

I tried all kinds of bikes before I got the GS, out of the Harleys I tried the VRSC:



To be honest, it was the worst bike I ever had the miss-fortune to ride, too much buffeting, even at just 60mph. Vibration through the pegs was massive, numb after 20 mins. It refused, point blank to go around a corner.

Fairly quick in a straight line though!



Yam XJ6, felt like a Monkey bike to me, far too small, impossible to see in the mirrors, really hard to get an idea of whats going on around you. Crap storage, but it had a silky, silky smooth inline 4 engine. 

For my though, i love my GS. Its ultra smooth, suits my height (6ft5) very comfy, rides like a bike half the size. Its a confidence inspiring bike, I found my self easily going for gaps I would have not considered on my old Yamaha MT-03.

Massive storage capacity, went camping in Wales last year, hoping to do lots of trips this year!
