Searching for a Perfect bike is no easy task. Going through all the reviews on the net and getting different point of views on which brand or make is better, the argument goes on. Some will say this and some will discourage to even buy a bike. " With that amount of money, might as well buy a car."
Then there is the issue with road safety, believing that bigger bikes will eventually make you ride faster and more prone to high speed accident. I guess this only applies to people with less experience on a bike with alot of power in between their thighs. As for me, i'm just looking for a reliable ride with some extra 'umph' whenever i need to get away from potential reckless drivers on the road and the notorious lorries in Malaysian roads.
I love taking corners and i love the fact that i can easily push my way through an uncomfortable situation on the road. So the bike needs to be nimble.
Another factor to consider is the riding position as i commute long distance to work and the thought of going somewhere far with my bike+wife would be acheivable in an impromptu destination., say, Genting, Cameron, PD.
The comfort for my pillion is also taken to consideration. I wouldnt want my wife to be cramping/squating behind me while i go long distance. I have seen and hear many stories on how uncomfortable it is to be sitting in as a pillion rider on long hauls. Backaches, tantrums, conflicts arises when you are not comfortable when you reach your destination. It would be pointless to go somewhere beautiful and not be able to enjoy it.
Well, still searching ......
