Please, when you guys try Triumphs, see if you can test the Rocket 3. The comfort and sheer amount of power will give you a semi Nick.
Nick want´s Suggestions…. GSX-8 R, SV 650 for Jo, V Strom 650, , New Himalayan, both Triumph 400, Tiger 660, Rieju Aventura 500, T7, Tracer 7, MT-07, MT-03, R6, R3, CBR600RR, CBR500R, the only Kawa worth trying at the moment Ninja 400, Tuareg 660, Tuono 660, RS 660, TRK502, TRK 700, Leoncino 500 & 500 Trail, Desert X & Hypermotard to get perverted and at the End because everything needs a soulless Black Sheep Zero DS & DSR.
Kawasaki Z500, I would definitely recommend that I have had the z400 for three years and love it.
I think Jo will love the Triumph Speed 400. I found the Hornet quick but too snatchy at slower speeds. Good hunting. 🏍️
I still think honda Suzuki kawasaki and yamaha work together really its never a competition. The bikes are always different enough not to really be in competition.
i had the cb500f now have a trident 660 give that a try
You can see why Jo is such an RE fan…shes very intuitive and connected to her bikes and character is what wins for her all the time…great taste! She's kind my spirit biker! Ride Horny you guys!
Those cb500 hornets must be nigh on perfect machines now, after all the years they have had improvements👍 that would be a great choice. But may as well try other stuff out. New Himalayan 450 looks nice
Try the Cb650r smooth and predictable low in the rev range
HOW ABOUT THE MOTO GUZZI V7 OR V9 .A LITTLE LSFT OF CENTER MAYBE
Jo – you say you learnt on an SV650 – was that at a training centre? One thing I can't get my head round is, with a full A1 at an old age can I just buy a big bike, slap 'L' plates on and ride round until I think I'm ready for the big bike test or do I need to go through a training centre which means around £700 – £1000 for the privilage?
Triumph 400 Speed or Speed Twin 900 for Jodie & 400x for Nick cause of tall seat height & be good for gravel & back lanes.Speed Twin 900-1200 for Nick.
See if you can test ride a Z500 and an Eliminator 500.
BMW R1250GS
Good stuff, wondering if you'll be trying the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (450) when you get to the Kawasaki models.
My daughter had a suzuki gladius (sv650) with the two ecus. One A2 the other full power,both suzuki parts.i tried it for a day and honestly all the bike you need. Does everything superbly but also very tamely and very good prices.
Try the CB300R and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. So much fun on the road, light at 143kg and motorway able as it goes up to 100mph (with a windscreen on mine). Remember to rev up till at least 7500rpm before you change gear. It has a high revving engine so will take the abuse. Exhaust sounds great too and you can still hear it at speed unlike the cb500.
In the nicest way, Jo would probably enjoy some further rider training! Namely making use of the clutch at slower speeds, I noticed Jo was completely off the clutch in 2nd at 13mph on the roundabout. Being totally on throttle control there would feel snatchy to anyone.
Side note – I think shed like the nc750x dct. Smooth and no clutch needed, very low centre of gravity, only about 55hp
Very Cool to Try Different Bikes out Before you Buy
Both these Honda's look & Sound Good
Have you both thought on Trying the Yamaha Tracer 700 & 900 next 🎉🏍️🏍️👍
Try a Kawasaki Z650RS. It's what I did my test on, lovely modern retro style, nice and light, smooth throttle & clutch and fast when you need it.
I think the Hondas are a good fit for you both. Reliable and ease of use are key. If you want to ride all year round without ruining the bikes the more modern look is ideal. Will be interesting when you both get to try Triumph. Only downside to them is the retro finnished parts do corrode and need a lot of care through winter. To the point I have only used mine 5 times over the past 4months even though ive drowned the entire bike in XCP. 🙃
Loved the bit about pegging made me laugh 😅 your ride its all about what suits your riding style
Nice! I ride the 750 ✌️
I love the bike but agree the throttle on it is quite snatchy! Other than that I find it an excellent but and can't really find any faults. Great fun! The 500 seems a lot less snatchy too!
DO you mind me asking what cameras/setup you use for filming?
Thanks both and ride safe!
