I have an XR and love it. Its a sports tourer with the emphasis on sports. It'll keep up with sports bikes "mostly" (real nutters will still pull away but that's rare!) and you can either be sedate or a hooligan - all in one bike!

I bought an r9t this year and it's an amazingly capable bike. They're a lot quicker than you'd expect and they handle really well. The engine is quirky until you get used to it. Massive engine breaking needs good rev matching on down shifts

Versys all the way I’ve got

The 650 on a 22 plate had the 20 plate before her and everyone who’s had a shot is well

Impressed, I was contemplating the thou but couldn’t justify the extra 6k when I’m not working

Front of the pack on the twisties and the boys are all on sports bikes and I can fairly keep up on the straights as well done 6k on her since I got her in April a lot of touring solo with the full GT kit

Very happy with the F900XR, S1000XR has extra bhp and some extras on the suspension but not much else
