I am back in market looking for a bike.
Bike would be mostly a commuter/ weekend warrior. Possibly an occasional road trip, but I have never been a cross country kind of guy.
I am interested to get some other rider's opinions/ insight on these bikes or similar bikes they would recommend that they have experience with.
Here is what I am considering:
1. BMW S1000RR- This is my first choice. My biggest concern is the comfort of the bike. I have put more miles on the 600RR than any of my other bikes though and quite enjoyed it. I have ridden the S1000RR and honestly it has a pretty similar seating position to the CBR, so I am hoping it is comfortable enough to ride for some distances.
2.Triumph Speed Triple- Good all around bike, not as sport dedicated. Cheaper insurance.
3.BMW 1200GS- sometimes I end up riding off road and it is fun, but I am not sure if I could tie myself down to a bike this big/ far from a sport bike.
4. Ducati Hypermotard- seems like a good mix between a dirt bike and a sport bike. Quite a bit smaller than the gs, but can probably go just as far off road, and does not look like a cheap dirt bike. Also I am worried this will not be a very stable bike for much more than around town/ trails.
5.Ducati Streetfighter- similar to the Triumph, but maintenance etc might be the deterrent. Bike is a little bigger and probably more stable on the freeway than the triumph, also looks better.
