Both of which are rather elderly bikes now Theo.

OK, barely middleaged in Guzzi terms, but still.

I was talking outside of the warranty issue. If it's a warranty
issue, then someone had better post the terms and condition of the
warranty here so that informed comment is possible.

Kawasaki ER6F.
Suzuki Gladius

Ta for the input, G-S, but bite your tongue! The Gladys???

I used to love the ER6F. In fact, before I got my SV it was my dream bike. I
had a look on the Kawasaki website a little while back, and I don't think
they make the ER6F any more. (The naked version is still around though).

I will spurn Gladys forever because of her miniscule (14 litre) fuel tank. I
get paranoid enough on the (17 litre) SV, and always try to fill up around
the 250km mark - I guess the huge 20 litre tank on the GS500 spoiled me a
bit!

You know, I love (and hate) these times when I am looking for my next
bike...
