    It's been a while..................

    Its been a while since I posted anything about my new ride, or anything else for that matter. Well time to catch up on the news.

    Since I took delivery of th CBR600RR on May 15, I have logged 9450 miles. This weekend I am heading for Deals Gap. By the time I'm done with this trip I will prolly have 12,000 miles on her. I think with the kind of miles I seem to put on bikes I may be thinking of a different type of bike other than a Sport bike. The problem is I don't have any idea of what bike to buy that will deliver the thrill of a sport bike and the comfort of an all out touring bike.

    I figured I'd consult with the family here at NESR to get some suggestions.

    Help please.

    Wow, I though I rode a lot.

    Get a ZX9R; more comfy than your RR and plenty of zip.

    Even more comfort can be found on a VFR or ZX12R

    If you want lots more comfort, hard to beat an FJR1300, Sprint ST or a Futura.

    Next up would be an ST1300 or any BMW ST (yawn)

    Beyond that, Goldwing or K1200LT (double yawn)

    Another option:

    Keep the sport bike and augment it with a cheap, semi-sporty and comfortable bike for long or two-up rides. I love my Concours for that purpose.
