    Agony for me too - bl**dy traffic and tourists and closed roads round here ! Still, it's easier on the bike :D

    2016 Honda CB500X Video Review

    I've only ever had a 500X as a loan bike while my Tranny was being serviced. Capable, and usefully lighter than the Tranny, but a bit, well, 'white goods' if you see what I mean. It's an appliance rather than a bike. The NC700 (never tried the 750) did at least have a little bit of character to...

    feeling bored with Big Bird so let's have a laugh

    CBF1000 ? although possibly described as competent rather than something you'd immediately fall in love with. If you're considering a VFR then how about a Crossrunner ? The newer ones are meant to be an improvement on the earlier ones ? R1200RS ?

    The bike you wish you had never bought....

    Cagiva W12. Nice enough bike, but fairly rare and impossible to get spares, importers (Three Cross) were useless and knew nothing about them, and the Italian factory shut down for nearly six weeks in the summer. It memorably spent nearly a year off the road actually in a dealers waiting for...

    Maybe have a look out for the occasional Honda NX400 Falcon which may crop up ? Or maybe an old Yam XT600E ? Other than that, no idea I'm afraid - you've already ticked the 'obvious' boxes with the BMW and Serow . I have a Transalp with the short seat , but my inside leg is 29" which may still...

    Coming to terms with recent events

    I've also just read this, and don't know what to say, other than sincerest condolences to you and your family. Thoughts and prayers are with you .

    What is the best Adventure bike

    XT600E ? ( or the rarer TT version ) XR400 ? Enfield ?

    Replacement for the transalp

    Maybe replace the 650 with a 700 ? I guess it's a bit like the 650, never raved about but better than people give it credit for and it grows on you. Otherwise the current crop of 800s , or wait and see who comes out with what in the near future ?
