As I posted a couple of weeks ago, my Yamaha Super Tenere was nicked and has been recovered.
I'm fairly sure it will be written off and I'm not entirely sure I'll want to buy it back so am looking at other options.
Having spoken to the police it seems that trail style bikes have been getting stolen increasingly in this area and I'm reluctant to get another.
I'm looking for something with a similar riding position, so upright with little forward lean. I need a tall bike as I'm 6'1" and something with some grunt as I'm more than 20st.
Budget is £3k and age/mileage isn't a huge concern.
Alternatives I've been thinking of are TDM900, Multistrada 1000. Tiger 955 is a little more off road styled than I'd like.
Primary use will be commuting, but I do motorway slogs reasonably regularly enough to think faired could be preferable. Needs to not look ridiculous with a backbox attached, as one will be permanently.
What else should I be looking at?
Cheers
