My grandad is here for a few days and is purchasing his first bike for 15 years, he doesnt want a plastic fantastic or a harley but something that shows his age a little ie a cruiser or traditional. nothing below 1000cc. he's got a lot as hes just sold his jag mark II(the one that moarse drives) so i dont think price is an issue. oh and he is interested in a few sports bikes. i suggested the GSXR1000 but he thinks its a little quick for him....what d'ya think?

Hi

Yep, sounds like he doesnt want a race replica. Bandit 1200, XJR, ZRX, GSX1400, one of the big CBs.

By the way, suggest that he gets a refresher lesson as I doubt he bounces as well as he did when he used to ride bikes.

All the best

Keith

What about the Honda Pan European, now there's a big bike that noone below 40 would hardly ever buy...

Yeah, I like the V-Rod too. One of the few unfaired bikes I'd consider riding. And the fact that most harley riders hate it would please Zak Very Happy

I like the Pan-euro. Nice and comfy

yes i do but it's a special version thats why it has 'NSR' written down the side. it's much faster and sound better than his but his shines more than mine. Razz

I think the ZRX1200 looks the bollox in Lawson rep colours. I hope to have one some day Smile

A V-Max would be good too, but the early ones might be a little too powerful for him

BMW? the new 1150 is meant to be really good, no forkdive is nice.
