Hi Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions so far, this along with the FB group has come up with the following ideas:

Yamaha FZ1
Yamaha XJR1300
BMW F800R
BMW K1300S
Kawasaki Z1000SX
Honda VFR800

The R1200RTs are a bit big and heavy for my tastes, the K1300S is borderline and I've ridden my Dad's K1200GT which at least sets the tone for weight as that was too much.

Not a big fan of the adventure bikes, prefer to be a bit lower center of gravity than that.

I'll certainly consider the GSX1400 and CBF1000s, thanks for the suggestions!
