Featured I Think 've Just Ruined My First Bike Experience

So I've been riding about 6 months now and I know my bike isn't the most comfortable in the world being a supersport but that's fine, I rode 150 miles round trip to work on Monday and the last 20 miles was very uncomfortable, to the point I'm considering doing plates to stretch that groin and hip area.

Well today I took out a cbr600f out -don't worry not trading in the triumph, I just thought id try something different for me commute and oh my god!!!! It was so comfortable, sat slightly higher, very narrow tank but felt very boring/underpowered until 9000rpm.

I had an offer to take out a newish street triple but I've refused, that seat looks waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too comfortable and would end up making me hate this bike and I can't risk that.


I'm waffling but I've realised the daytona 650 was designed for the wide stance of John Wayne.

 

I won't be using it regularly for those commutes but I will be looking for a sit up and beg for the next bike, the next bike will be something I keep for a while so want to enjoy all aspects of it.

 

Hahahaha yea I get jealous of the new bikes but then jealous of the older bikes then jealous of
Bike gadgets and clothing and everything bike related

But I am happy with this bike and am happy it's my first bike as I would have regretted it if I had just settled

 

I'm trying, rode Dudley to Hereford today, about 120 miles round trip and im feeling more confident everytime I go out, also feeling like Ive ages 30years too

 

I loved the look of the 675 but Im not a small lad and thought I'd look a bit silly (my mind has changed somewhat) plus the cost and got talked out of a bandit 1200 as engine is too big for a first bike which was sound advice I think but yea supers ports ain't ideal for distance but I do reckon I could ride twice the distance on that cbr600 though.

I've been asked to have a ride out/camping trip to snowdon after lockdown ends which he tried to change to Scotland, errrm nope, Wales will do nicely.

 

Oh man that sounds like it would be great fun as a ride out but yea like you say, tyat commute would get tedious.
Then again if I was back out in America I'd enjoy just riding anywhere, maybe not frisco or new York though

 

I've just had to Google it, is it wierd that I like it but also sit up and supersports?
Maybe I'm greedy.

 

In

That top bike (bobber I think) is beautiful

I'm glad your all in the same boat regarding looking at other bikes, I just thought I was being greedy and should be content with what I have

 

Yiuve sold it to me
Mind you, I was always a Carmen electra guy
