Right, im thinking in a few months / year maybe of getting a sport touring bike to go round places and what not. Ive found a decent one "Honda VFR 800 F", at around the £2000 mark. Im wondering if there are any better sport touring bikes in that price area. The other condition is that 100HP really is the bare minimum.

Chears,
Ex.

I know because i have been there and Done that.I was Lucky, a friend that i grew up with Ludwig he died 20 years old,one of my brothers almost crack his scull wide open.


However the good news would be after a few years when your older i belief in doing this.I myself I'm interested in A Honda Valkyrie Rune ( since i can't have the real one Winkhttp://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=valkyrie+rune&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=ovuBSuTsAoW2No7qnaML&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4  and the other one is A triumph rocket 3 Classic http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/usa/Rocket%20III%20Classic_5263.aspx

Now Kosh, you can have the real thing.  Just have to figure out which universe we want to go to!  Wink


Personally I think the Valkyrie model is sexier (and really, that isn't because of the name).  My middle brother is a huge fan of the good old Indian.  He's had one in one form or another for a couple of decades.

X, oh great evil one, do yourself a favour if you do decide to go ahead with the idea: take a defensive driving safety course geared specifically to motorbikes.  My mom sent my bro to one & tbh it saved him serious injury many times.  It taught the drivers what to do when they were probably going to go into a skid or drop their bike.  It also taught them what to look for with other drivers, because cars have a tendency not to pay enough attention to motorbikes.  Granted, a lot of motorbike drivers are idiots that take crazy chances, but car drivers are also idiots to not treat the motorbike driver with the same respect as to any other motor vehicle.

Serious injury & death are much more likely on a motorbike because of the lack of protection.  Make sure to buy some really good boots, helmet & yes, leather pants or chaps at the least.  At the minimum jeans, because almost all motor bike drivers come close to dropping their bike at some point in their driving career & leaving the first few dozen layers of skin on the pavement is a nasty lesson.

Bikes are a ton of fun & they are a very economical machine.  They are hell on insurance especially when you are still in your 20's or younger.  If I knew how to drive, I'd probably want to learn how to drive one...oh hell, I'm not that coordinated so being a passenger is probably the safest idea for me!! Cheesy  So Kosh, if you get that Valkyrie model, I'll hop on for a ride with you!!  Tongue
