gen2 .. I had a new K6 gsxr thou and my ridding buddy had a gen 1 rsvr but although i loved the engine in the gixxer my arms and wrists were in agony.. The rsvr was better but still to low but i fell in love with the engine .

Tried a few other nakeds but could not find anything as good as the tuono

Anyone suffer from aches and pains or rheumatism yet due to motorcycling over the years?

and anyone banana shaped haha hunched over from riding

i get mild aches in my legs/wrists

get a compression shirt(proskin one is good) helps with the muscle soreness over long rides.

Yep compression shirt works really well. Had my Alpinestars one for 3 years and always wear it on long or short rides :-)

I didn't think of one of those

are they expensive though? pretty sure I saw some in lidl

You must be really old, my Fireblade doesn't make me ache (much).

wazza300 · 17 Mar 2015 at 00:32

I don't think its age,its just riding year in year out in cold weather most the time,for me anyway, I'm usually very fit

Mr Badger · 17 Mar 2015 at 00:52

Managed a few decades of commuting on fairly sensible bikes (last two Yamaha Fazers) and no aches and pains when riding yet.

wazza300 · 17 Mar 2015 at 01:02

I get them,mild aches but mostly sportsbikes I ride,that's 19 years all year riding as well,I find it hard to believe you don't ache even slightly

Cheeky git

I'm old but not as old as you !

ElliorR · 17 Mar 2015 at 19:08

Those of you young enough to be gloating about not suffering, just you wait

wazza300 · 17 Mar 2015 at 19:12

well atleast we have all survived all the crazy manic drivers to real middle or old age

"puffs on his pipe"

ConTRo13R · 29 Jun 2015 at 11:33

Received my first biking pains (other than crashing) 5 hours of riding a sport tourer with a pillion. 3 hours to destination nice rural windy roads, 1 hour break and then 2 hours back on motorway. I am now in severe agony in my lower back. It hurts to twist, stand up bend my back or to just sit still. Codeine isn't even touching the sides

What gives!!! I hate motorways.

ShakenNstirred · 29 Jun 2015 at 11:58

my right forearm gets pins n needles at times
some rides worse than others.

wazza300 · 29 Jun 2015 at 12:01

It must have been the cold weather,don't get any pains ATM,just normal fatigue with a long ride,pays to stop n rest for few minutes now and again

Captain · 29 Jun 2015 at 12:21

I done 30 miles on my 125 yesterday and my wrist and forearm are aching today, probably from having to twist the throttle all the way round to get any speed

Sandycheeks · 29 Jun 2015 at 13:07

Arse ache mainly.
I do get a bit of pain in the lower back though so will be adjusting the handlebars soon.
I have found some Peg lowering mounts online so will order these also as they do make a big difference apparently.
The Versys is quite a tall bike but the footpegs are quite high so don't have much more room than a sports tourer.

Not since I got my Trophy, Used to ache after 2 hour+ ride outs on my other bikes but I can ride my Trophy all day long & get off it feeling the same as when I got on it.
