Good luck, I've had loads and i agree 1 bike wont meet all your needs though. I loved my BT1100 Bulldog, but it wasn't fast enough in the end. I loved my Fazers ( I've had 3) but fast they were but no soul and poorest handling when hooning as the centre stands jabs in. I need a small fairing so nakeds are out now ( old git) but theres so much choice. Everybody o know in your predicament has gone for a "Street Triple" and they love them! My mate had a late TT600 and that was good. Go look but ride everything you like the look of.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Thanks for the words guys, it's appreciated.

600cc would be my current thought but I'm currently not sure, I may just skip bikes for a little bit before buying a new one..

I love bikes too, but I'm also having a sh1t time with work, family, friends and everything right now and whenever I go out on the bike I end up just venting my anger through it..

Have ridden a cbr600 fi though recently, what a babe that thing was :lol:

Not taking the p1ss but you say it's got Michelin PR1tyres, it's hardly surprising you don't like it, they have got to be some of the worst tyre around, little grip or feel and rock hard, they last well but wear grooves in the road :lol: Pr2's and 3's are a different ball game.

On another note I have a really nice Thundercat I need to sell, £1600 ono, That's a cracking bike and you'll have change in your pocket.
