The Yamaha mt-10 is off my shopping list.

What idiot put the pillion pegs so close to the rear sets? No full grown man could get on the balls of their feet on that monstrosity of a design flaw.

Brutale 800 it is than?

2 more payments left to make on my SV...Hmm, enter straight into more finance for a CB1000...? Tempting...

S1000R or Tuono

The Tuono doesn't look too comfortable for a pillion passenger, S1000R rear seat seems to be bigger?

If you fiancée also had a bike, would go for the Brutale?

Fair point, we only saw a version at the show with a pillion cowl so couldn't test the comfort.

The brutale would easily be number 1 if the missus wasn't a consideration.

Would anyone be interested in a Super Blackbird? My dad is selling his. S reg, 18K miles, full Honda service history, one owner. He wants £2.9K for it. I will post pics once it's back from a service if anyone is interested

44teeth (baron von' and co) tested the new brutale and they were very impressed with it

She's the reason I ride in heaven instead of the UK, so she has earned at least a thought.

She got a thought. Now get the Brutale

IC3 · 19 Feb 2016 at 19:54

Come on Kreeeee, bikes aren't sensible in the first place.

You know you want the Brutale

Watch out for the sun!

Holy crap! :eek:

Funnily enough I was just thinking that now I'm not doing night duty anymore perhaps I need to take the sun more seriously.
Still not sure what's best. Ideally I'd have a helmet with a peak and dark tint visor but as I don't have much real choice I was thinking about either getting prescription sunglasses or trying some sort of visor tint insert.

Craig321 · 20 Feb 2016 at 10:04

That's why I use a dark 'race visor' through summer. Can't do without it

gcaster · 20 Feb 2016 at 10:12

That's just ****ing stupidity. If you can't see, pull over and sort it out or slow down, don't just keep going!

Kreeeee · 20 Feb 2016 at 10:38

The sun is fine in the summer when it's nice and high in the sky.

It's the winter sun that's deadly as it never good far above the horizon and is always in your eyes. It's especially bad in the snow!

I just found a smoke visor on ebay from Korea for £17 quid which ain't bad, might go for that as I'm not reading great reviews on these visor tint inserts.
