I used to that sort of mileage but have slowed up this year due to now doing 80 round trip to work each day 3 days a work in car more cost effective

oops....I read that completely wrong... Nope didn't do 10,000 a year. I need to get my eyes checked!!!!!!

Up until November last year I was doing about 4,500 to 5,000 (yes I sadly sat down and worked that out!). Like to admit when I'm wrong

22 miles each way to work, 5-6 times a week, allowing for bad weather that's around 200 miles a week. 180 miles each way to hubby, plus a bit extra as i always get lost after leaving m5, maybe every 6 weeks then weekend trips and holidays

I rekon so nickscafe but that's still some milage don't ya think in England where it tends to rain a little

Where doesn't it rain, denny?

I did a tour of Ireland a few years back - 6k miles in 6 months, while on a project assignment.
Beautiful island, I probably went round it twice.
Man, it rained most of the time!

Those A2 class bikes - if that's what it is -are getting excellent reviews. Lower BHP, but still giving out a fair performance.

Even BMW are in the game - lookup the 310
Excellent budget commuters, I bet

That's true nickscafe I hate rain , I never feel safe in the wet.
oh BMW there taking over every market and they haven't made a bad one that I know of.
There the best supersport best sport and god knows what else.
I want a s1000r next year there wicked
I bet they are good commuters but that's not biking to me its my pleasure not my transport

I was a bit cautious with my machine - skipped and slid, especially on corners and roundabouts.

Then I discovered Michelin Pilots...
Profound difference.

Inspired confidence

I had them on mine when I bought it not been a michelin lover since they stopped making xzx car tyre lol but they were good I was surprised but must admit I think bridgestone win hands down.
I fitted some Pirelli diablos on a month ago and yeah they are awesome in the dry but hell scarey in the wet ( turns power down to 3 and traction to wet lol ) and wear eeek you can see theve gone down every hundred miles lolwill be getting bridgys next but as you say I was impressed with the ones that came with the bike

Been to nearest bike training centre today. Tried their 600 gladius. Think I'll go for full licence in a couple of months, give myself a bit more choice of bikes when I've worn out the ninja

dennyboo @ 28/07/2017 22:05  

I'm hoping that by the end of the year bill and I will have improved our living arrangements so less 180 mile trips down m6/m5
