with good wind protection so things like st1300, fjr1300. scruffier the better, its for a commuter which will be parked in london frequently so cosmetics are unimportant. budget 3k. needs to work for a tall guy so no v strom, no bandit etc, must be comfortable on mway. older rt would also be ok but bear budget in mind. not a gs - too good a resale once stolen, even on cheap older ones

K RT/LT are cheap and fairly robust.

goldwing too big, thanks but should have said. apologies.

I reckon a Fazer1000 would be perfect Mike......3K gets you a nice one.
Decent weather protection with that top fairing, not too wide for filtering.......goes like shit off a shovel.

Bit light on the weather protection dude?

You'll keep ahead of the weather with that R1 engine, plus you know what you're like....you'd be bored to death on a Pan or an RT.
The Fazers are proper fast, nible for London traffic and with decent riding kit and the top half faring you'll be well weather protected.

Ok boss, will look again (thumbs)
