    Hi Mate and Welcome to the Forum :cool:, 765RS would be my choice, more nimble and easy to ride than the Speedie whilst being very nearly as quick, the BMW while it is a good bike I found it a little bland and without character when I rode it.

    If I was in the market.....

    I would want to compare the R. The torque numbers on the highway make more sense for everyday riding, the cycle parts differences are minimal and it does not come with the price premium.

    I grew out of ‘magnumitis’

    Welcome to the family. Nice bikes. Something different for the inmates to ogle tonight. Nursey will benefit from a quite night.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.
