Just picked up a Street Twin on an 18 plate, had to sell my CB1000r as I couldn't get on it without a struggle so I needed a low bike that suited me and my knackered legs and hips! Did 110 miles on my Street Twin in the sun this afternoon loved the torque reminded me of a BMW Rockster I had some years ago. I've got an 18 plate bike black with a silver grey tank, only done 2500 miles and its great for real word motorcycling on country roads only taken it up to 85 ish but that's adequate. Handling is very old school but good the set up together with the big front wheel is fine once you trust it. Really looking forward to riding it.
Welcome in Eric from another Eric who just happens to live over the hill from you! Guess what? I’ve also a BMW Rockster which you say you had and also a modern Bonneville!! We must be twins!!
