I was really looking hard at this,

but I already know my knees will never forgive me if I cram my feet onto those rear-set pegs.  |
Great choices though, especially the top one if you like some sporty touring and Suzukis are just solid bikes.
For the looks thought, that Kawa is a beauty.
One of the reason I finally sold my Triumph that the sitting comfort and mainly the seat height to the feet pegs was too short so my knees had to bend quite a bit and they protested after a day riding. Which got worse over the years so I found myself picking the Triumph less for a ride.

It deserves a little more exposure here

OH yeah those colours sold me in a blink of an eye, before I gave the V85TT a test ride I decided if I where to buy one it where to be those colours.
Slapped a raised windshield, side cases, crash bar around the cylinders , heated grips so I can ride off season as well in the mountains without the need of those annoying winter gloves and a Moto Guzzi MIA system which connects to the phone's app and allows the GPS to be directly streamed onto my dashboard on trips where I'd be using planned routes.
