Don't buy a model that appeals to you, buy a model that meets the requirements. If it appeals, you won't ride it in winter and it's a pointless exercise. |
My point exactly, a divvy 900 is as undesirable as they come (although Deauville.. ) , and yet winter workhorse.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

..say an XJ900 divvy or better still a pre-divvy. Air-cooled simplicity and should get plenty of change.. |
What about the XJR1300? Just seen this and looks alright:

Then again idea of a driveshaft is a little appealing as it means I can neglect it more and not have to tighten a chain every week so still going to look into the XJ900. |
Nice bike, but maybe TOO nice for your requirements. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
