Maybe time to change the commuter?

In one and a half weeks I will have had the ZX9R for a year.

In that time the mileage has somehow crept upĀ from 18,230 to 41,000.

For no other reason than the mileage, I’m mulling over changing the commuter for something that hasn’t done as much work.

But what to look at?

My first thought was a Gixxer thou, because I know they’re reliable, durable, and nimble.

GSX-R1000

And then I started wondering about an R1.

Yamaha R1

Truthfully, I don’t know which way to jump.

But yes, I do think that 41,000 miles is a bit long in the tooth for an everyday workhorse commuting bike.

So if you have any (sensible) ideas, drop me a line.

My full criteria is: Must be reliable, durable, and nimble.

And a sportsbike. Obv.
