"Chatting to somebody who recommended the triumph bonneville t120 Anyone own one ? I have a T120 Black owned from new in 2016 best bike I have ever owned. Love it. Feel free to message me" Like the black edition Have you done any touring on it at all My bike will be predominantly a round town commuter but the idea of getting away for a weekend appeals Seen a few reviews on motorcycle news that the electrics failed and another going on about corrosion and the manual saying bike should be washed and cleaned after every ride or warranty is voided Not sure how that can be proven | |||

Will never sell. I have never had issues re washing every day etc, it certainly did not get washed every day and at times every week was a push PM if you want more info | |||

"I don’t really get it? I have had motorbikes for well over 40 years and love to personnel them by either modification, upgrade, alteration and general customisation. PCP is just long term rental in reality so you lose out on so much of what makes bikes great? Why not save up a bit and just buy one you really want, then enjoy all the possibilities? As I say, don’t get it? " I get what you’re saying but PcP just suits me I’m not into modifying other than adding a little crash protection. I’m all in now so I have some equity when it comes to swap the bike which will reduce the payments on the new bike. If I find I bike I love I’ll purchase the bike after the pcp period is up If not I’ll move onto what ever next bike I like | |||

" Bikes I’m considering Suzuki GSX S750 GSX S1000 Kawasaki Z900rs Yamaha MT09SP " Can't comment on the Suzuki's personally, but got a few friends with GSX-S's which they use to tour and commute and seem happy with. If you're looking at those, maybe also consider the CB1000R, another good comfy all rounder. Personally wouldn't opt the MT09, they're generally cheaper than the rest for a reason - the suspension isn't as good, the seat is like a wooden board, and the throttle is like an on off switch. Not for me. Quite like the Triumph Tiger Sport and the Tiger 900 GT, they were high on my list last time I changed. Very comfy. BMW, agree with the F900XR comments, cracking bikes. However personally I'd look at the 1250Rs or 1250R over the S1000r. S1000 is a cracking bike, but it also has the turning circle of a Boeing 747. Personal bias towards BMW - they're not the cheapest to buy, I went second hand and was happy with what I got for my money (in a lot of ways more bike for your money than with many of the other manufacturers). Servicing can be extortionate from a dealership, but if you plan to keep it beyond warranty then don't bother with the dealership stamp, any reputable garage will be fraction of the cost and just as good. They do have their downfalls, some models were a bit rust prone, but if you keep it clean and treat it with ACF50 in winter, they're not bad. My previous BMW and current both showroom condition and used all year round. Currently on an R1200GS. Happy bike hunting!  | |||

"Thanks for the response I have looked at the CB1000r stunning bike especially loving the black edition Heard the stock suspension isn’t up to it though and a bike of the price should have cruise control on it.. Not rally a fan of the tiger adventure bike style at this point but maybe in the future The turning circle on the sv I have isn’t the best to be honest Seeing lots of good reviews on the mt09 sp version think the suspension is upgraded from the stock 09 I was waiting to see what the new 2022 XsR 900 was going to look like but I’m not like that seat or the bikes looks in general Have to keep an eye on the reviews on some of the bikes suggested Once again thank you for your suggestions | |||
