  1. Toying with the idea of getting rid of my beloved superlight. The 916sps will be on road late 2020 or early 2021 and I'm thinking one old crate is enough to own. Mates just passed his test & got some sort of ktm790 thing, he's planning NW500 trip + other jaunts. Budget would be upto £6k & needs to be able to carry pillion on occasional jaunts, not a fan of huge amounts of electronics. Thinking buttfook ugley multistrada 1100s & keep change to fund a trip or two, but nothing really rings my bell.

  4. Monster 1100S or 1200S or R, just not sure the latter two will be in budget.

  6. Early 1200 looks good, it all multiple engine maps, traction control, abs etc that freaks me out a bit.

  19. The blackbird not a bad shout, find the styling of busa a bit 'power rangers' Need too offload a couple of kids & their bike, scooters, segway go-cart... Might have enough room to hide 3 bikes from MrsT
