Honestly just go for it, take one for a test drive if you haven't already. Its about what you're comfortable riding and what you want. I went from a YBR125 straight to a GSX600, as long as you stay riding within your own limits and get used to it before going too mad you'll be fine. Enjoy whichever bike you end up with
EDIT - Just read you changed your mind and were looking at the 650R, lovely bike so when you get one send a picture ____________________ Current>> BSA Bantam D1 1949 + Suzuki GSX600F 1993 + Kawasaki ZX6R '99

If you're intending on riding through mid-winter, a heated jacket/waistcoat is probably the better option, your arse is one of the few things that isn't getting windblast. Plus it's easier to swap to using it on a different bike.
But I'm happy to admit I'm a pussy, I ride for about 3/4 of the year, and heated grips, decent gear, and wrapping up warm get me through just fine. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Thank you for the continued advice on here. All much appreciated.
I've had the Tiger 850 for almost a month now and done around 600 miles on it. The coldest ride was around 4ÂșC, but with heated grips, a good base layer and a down jacket under my usual riding jacket meant I was reasonably warm enough. If I were to do anything to ensure I can ride through the coldest winter days, I think it would be to get a heated jacket. Although for now i'm going to stick with my down jacket and see how long that works for.
I'm loving the bike. Properly love it in fact and so glad i've finally started my biking adventure.
I did test ride an Africa Twin but felt it was too big a bike for me at this time. The Tiger was a better price and felt more appropriate in terms of size and power, given its my first big bike. |

When we mention an excellent coursework writing services, we consider the company whose website has a clear option and set guidelines to follow in case of any dispute. For example, when the student or customer faces difficulty in reaching out to the employees, then the precise details of how to get in touch should be mentioned. |
