Hmmm it is always tricky and obviously not only a nice position to be in looking for another bike but a very personal decision.

With that in mind and if I had the bikes you do, I think I would be looking at something completely different again.

So if it was mostly a Sunday bike (yet keeping it modern as you seem to favour) I would be thinking something a little more lazy along the lines of one of the modern retro types such as Triumph Bobber, Yam XSR900, or BMW R Nine T.

More than enough go in the last two to keep you entertained if you decide to press on a bit through the twisty bits I would think while still keeping things relatively sensible speed wise.

Funny thing is they all make more power than my old 900 (as does my Thundercat) and yet I never feel the Monster’s particularly lacking in the real world thanks to the way it makes it’s torque.

I do rather like the R Nine T though.
