have been sorted before being signed off by factory.If you want a fast tourer it's about as good as it gets. Mountains of torque all through rev range.Service costs weren't too silly (Oop North prices).ESA as standard on SE model but after initial "new

Honda NT650V Deauville (1998 - 2005)
Price: £5849
Year: 1998
Reader rating: 4/5 from 10 reviews
COMPETENT MID-SIZE TOURER FOR THE MATURE RIDER. Strengths: Ideal mid-weight tourer that just begs for long days of relaxed solo riding. Massive torque from a lazy V twin engine makes for super tractability. Almost too much braking capacity - this bike stops

Price: £10710
Year: 2005
Reader rating: 4.5/5 from 12 reviews
fairly big bike but the overweight feeling of old is gone and the new one follows a line through, and out of, corners perfectly. Minus a pillion you can really have a lot of fun on the Beemer. Compared to the old RT it’s closer to a sports-tourer than all

of Street Triple would be more fun, The GT does the job competently. I love my bike, as most of us do & I love Triumph, so this is an unamashamedly biased review, but for the money, the best two up high speed tourer on the market with a very credible boys

really needs to come up with a way of reducing the EVO’s braking force at very low speeds. Huge, heavy tourers of the K1200 LT’s ilk, and particularly the K1200LT of old, are motorcycling’s own disassociative anaesthetic, a two-wheeled dose of ketamine
