From riding the 990 Superduke recently which also has a sporty theme have noticed a massive difference between being able to do triple figures and feeling like to need to at every opportunity. Actually did over 10 miles up a motorway at bang on 70mph and was totally comfortable. You would have NEVER seen me do that on a sports bike.
Hence also the need to test ride. If it’s basically a sports bike without fairing then it’s out.
Also why I am not including the big guns like Z1000, BMW S1000R, GSX-S1000 or the Superduke. Just going to be too powerful and too quick.
Thanks for the advice though going to have some open minded conversations with some dealers get some test rides in and let’s see where it takes me.
