Went for a spin..... Bloody weather has obviously got it in for me today, just going past Windsor Castle and the heavens opened....

Took the Versys into work.
The rear shock didn't fall off so I count that as a win.

Not me but Mrs C00kiemonster has actually gone out on my bike! Bit wierd as i'm not out with her, but this may be the first step to choosing a new bike! She will at least have a benchmark to compare to with mine.
I shall be pacing around until she returns

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Hope she comes back with a few ideas.
If you want magazine tests of any particular bikes give me a shout and I will hunt through my back catalogue.
Just don’t let Maia get to it first.

We could start with an R1M, BMW S1000R and Kwak H2SX

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Well she's back and absolutely full of the joys of motorcycling
She loved it - got it to 170kmh (on one of the private roads) and could quite happily ride it again. It's quite a moment considering she was a die hard sportsbike fan.
She wants something she can put her feet flat down on (cant quite do that on the 765) but really enjoyed it and understood why i said it's a "naughty" bike.
Next stage is shortlist of bikes

If I was going Monster I would go 797. The air cooled engine has much more character. The 821 and even the 1200 were a bit bland for my liking.
However if you can find a nice one the older 1100 is the best Monster. Air cooled again and iirc just below 100bhp so cheaper on insurance. Loads of grunt in the air cooled engine.
