Morning all,
I've always loved sportsbikes and had my current Fireblade for just over a year. However, over the past few months i've found most of what I'm watching has been around modern classic bikes & my taste seems to be moving in that direction. I don't have the budget for a second bike, so if I change, it'll mean moving away from a 1ltr sports to something with much less power. I've looked at the obvious triumphs (would love a Speed Twin 1200!!) but they too are out of my current budget. What I am seriously considering is the RE Continetal GT650. I've been offered a very fair trade-in for my blade against a 1yo GT650 with very low milage & it's had first service etc done already. Just wondered if anyone has made a similar move and did you regret it......or loved it? I'm trying to train my brain that its not about power its more about the riding style but I'm doubting myself!!
