Test Ride Choices

Post by Blade »

When lockdown is over and we can play out, what do people fancy getting a test ride on.

I definitely fancy a go on a V4 Streetfighter (lol)

The new SuperDuke R and 890 duke.
If I could have a 2nd bike with the Kwak then something light and punchy would be on the cards, the BMW F900R seems to be getting good write ups too.

Good question but absolutely nothing floats my boat maybe an r1m but only out of interest to see what the engine is like

I don't want to test ride anything... I just want to ride my bike!

If I test rode a Tuono and I know I would end up wanting one but be fearful of it going pop (blush)

I think the 1100 Aprilua V4s are ok, it's the earlier 1000cc engines that can have issues.

I'd be worried about that with an R1 more than the Aprilia unfortunately.

I've had such an infatuation with the Tuono for years. I still really like the last of the V Twin RSVs as well.
