One day, I may buy a Sports Tourer like that or a VFR.



Just not yet.
Have both!

Great pics Welshman

Don't think, with the number of miles I've done so far, my wrists/shoulders/back could hold out for a trip around Wales yet.

Yes they could. It's just a question of strengthening your abs/back muscles so that they take the weight of your upper body, not your wrists.

Why. You worried that they might be faster than you

I have no doubt that in most hands, they probably will be.

Chris, are you just after a cruiser/tourer?

Have you got your licence yet, and if so have you ridden any of them?

Also known as a Honda DULLville. I think you could do better

Yes, no, no

I'm not in a buying position yet, but I am impatient.

As soon as I get that license (Hopefully at the end of July) I want to be able to get a bike. I don't really want to spend the rest of the summer going out every weekend trying different ones and then decide which it's to be in October. I'll be getting rid of the Vette, and this will hopefully become the preferred (weather permitting) commuter to work. *
I know it makes sense to try them all out first, and I will test drive first of course, but I don't want to have to test them all

I'm also thinking of the missus. I need something that her wee 5" frame will fit on the back of comfortably and not scare her $hitless.

*PS... Work = circa 20 mins along the M1.

I think I'd agree with the Pip on the Honda. Only in terms of looks.

Some of your earlier suggestions were more on the money from an aesthetic point of view.

Something like a Pan European might be better suited to your needs. . . . .
