Need some motorcycle advice

[Paddy]

I like the Shaddow or if you fancy something smaller the Hornet (import only i think).

I've not been on one since i knackered my Honda CB some years back....

But i agree with Rags, windshields are for wussies

yum yum

Hi agallag.
I'm going to buy a Fazer 600 'cause I want a motorcycle good for turism, all-day use and with the capability to give some power-emotion.

However, you can look at www.motoride.it to see almost every motorcycle of the last 3 years.
It's an Italian site, but it's really easy to navigate. Just select "CERCA E CONFRONTA" in the first page (it's in the top-middle) and you will have a new page where to choose a brand and a model. Select them and just click on the simbol at the right.

However, if you are looking for a big tourism-only motorcycle, you can go for a TDM, a BMW R1100 RT (but it's not that good), or a classic Transalp.

Edit: Yeah yeah, I don't think anyone was SERIOUS about the Vmax... Although it pretty much fulfills your first criteria, "it'll have to be on the big side"

Somebody didn't read my criteria That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. Ok, not quite. This is the exact opposite:

Hey, Agallag, take a look at the Honda Deauville.

[DentyCracker]

Very interesting reading this thread makes. I'm fascinated by you biker types. Myself can't imagine being on the road in a vehicle with no metal around me for protection, never considered it for an instant. hehe I hear my fater used to ride a Honda 50 when he was dating my mother LOL ROTFLMAO, trying to imagine a 6'1" 200 lb man on a Honda 50. *choke* *tears* too funny.

...because you can FEEL the road when you hit it with your face!
