Hi i am currently commuting everyday on my kawasaki Er6f which i must admit i love.
I am thinking of getting a new bike and a different make however dont know that many.
I commute on motorways and through traffic everyday and do between 80 - 180 miles a day. I need reliability, comfort and looks, any ideas?

Hmmmm the ER6f is quite capable of doing what you want but would i be right in assuming you want something a little bigger and smoother?

If so then you need to look at the sports tourers, for which the two that stand out in my opinion are the Honda VFR800 and the Triumph Sprint ST.

Nice, would these bikes be quite capable of handling high mileage though, and what about servicing

They're both sports tourers, high mileage is the whole point of them.

What about servicing? I don't know about the VFR but the Sprint has 6000 mile service intervals - 2000 miles longer than a lot of bikes.
