I am thinking of scratching that supersport itch early next year and just wondering how practical litre sport bikes are for the daily commute
they tend to be very uncomfortable and twitchy at low speeds.
you'd be better with a second hand bandit /diversion/ whatever for commuting, and save the rice rocket for weekends.

Not sure naked bikes look better. It seems to me riding a naked bike is like riding a bike naked. I prefer to do neither.

Possibly the only thread on CUK to get to 6 pages and not have a single bit about brex..... I'm not going to finish that word so as not to ruin it

I wonder what GSA Adventures and Honda Varaderos are like at keeping the wind off?!

Originally posted by ContractorOnAMotorbike View PostNot hijacking the thread or anything ... does anyone else commute through the winter on an unfaired/naked bike? If so how do you keep your hands warm? I've heard people say bar muffs are the way to go but i haven't tried them yet.
I use a combination of hand guards, heated grips and decent winter gloves and it works sort of ok but at the end of my commute in the cold weather my hands are quite cold.

Originally posted by ContractorOnAMotorbike View Posthaha... totally agree mate. I use my Honda Blackbird most of the time and I also own a Bandit as a winter hack. Only problem as you say is that the Bandit is absolutely awful in the winter or even spring for that matter. The Blackbird glides all the cold air over and around me while on the Bandit I feel like a sail of a boat catching all the freezing cold air if that makes sense.
