Pokey Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 New/newer Suzuki V-Strom 1000...........all day comfort on the road and a fantastic touring machine, loves gravel and hard pack, so versatile, deceptively quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C14 and FJR are porkier compared to the VFR and Sprint sized ST bikes, plus the added weight make the smaller ST's an easier transition from sport to tour, imo. When I shopped, the heft of the C14 and FJR were big factors for me...plus I wanted anti-inline4. Triples, V4s, and twins were something I'd never owned before. Budget was my primary decider, just couldn't spend big money like that this time around...so the Triumph was my best compromise option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F4i was cheap to insure, the 600rr was a bump, 1000rr was a big bump. Therefore I dropped collision on it and I think I’m about even now. I insure the 1000rr and 2 sport quads for a little over $400 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it isn't a squid bike I think rates stay pretty low. Edited February 28, 2018 by what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie14 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 It may be advisable to get uninsured/under insured motorist added to your policies. Both of my parents have been hit while riding, and both of the drivers had state minimum liability insurance coverage. Both of my parents needed their insurance policies to cover their medical bills and motorcycle losses (above the state minimum limits).

You likely haven't ridden a recent or modern ADV machine, they are nothing like the old Strom you sold me....neither are the latest Stroms. The new Multistrada and KTM1290 will keep up with and possibly take many supersports on the pavement, and then hit the gravel and hardpack roads "or worse" after handing out the beating. I could never get comfy on the C14, but it obviously is working very well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Multistrada 1200 with the right rider would keep up with superbikes and no problems staying in front of the 600-800cc crowd. It is as good of a sport-touring bike as any I have owned or ridden even if shoe-horned into the ADV category. Granted the price isn't going to win over as many people as the Japanese options but I certainly don't regret buying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha no argument from me, the V-Stroms have come a long way and are extremely refined and damn quick motorcycles. The latest 1000 even has cornering ABS, and was their first model to also have traction control modes. Yeah I am a fan, have yet to find another bike which can scratch all my itches so well. I have the 650 currently, love it to death but will have a new Super Tenere in the garage in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, haven't seen this one, was referring to the previous uggers. Still not interested in adv style, prefer street style for commute, weekends and track day. This is the best I've seen a dl look tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've ridden with plenty of blazing fast riders on bikes that weren't supersports. But in equal hands, a supersport that's lighter, capable of more lean angle, and with more front end feel is going have the advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Most of us will never ride to our bikes full potential no matter what you ride. So get what you think looks and or feel good and just log miles. Or just get what ever makes your peepee look bigger and go.
