I'm still ummin and RRRin what to do !
here is the dilema

I have a Left hand drive Gixxer 750 that i use out in Germany!

I need another bike because I have some serious miles to do in 2007!

upto date I have at least 4 euro trips booked
these are trips where previous customers of the ring have asked me to organise a biking holiday"monte carlo or bust" is one of them and the organisation of it is allready well under way with a good bunch of guys from here.

my initial thought's were to sell LHD gixxer and buy a nice Duke
problem is I dont want to have 6/7/8 grand sitting in a hotel garage in Germany, and I would have to leave the car in Germany or trailer the bike back to the uk, or run the 4 trips from Germany (not possible really)


so
my thoughts are Buy a older Blade or older duke and run 2 bikes !

Q is the 916 capable of doing long arduous milage?

Q what is the performance difference l of the 916 to a 996 like?

I know an old Blade is well up for the job but I do fancy another Duke especially as 2 of the trips are down the N75/85
the road built with Dukes in mind LOL

Honest answers pleas
