OK Guys and Gals, I have had a pair of Hein Gericke gortex gloves for 8 or 9 years now and they have been great but are now getting old and a bit worn Soooo.
What are the best Waterproof Sports/summer gloves currently available at a sensible price max £100/120? |

Could push it back to 9 am. If you are deffo coming. don't change your plans on my account mate, if I'm there all well and good if not I'll still be in bed with a Hangover, not been out with my Bro for a while so chances are it could get messy. |

Couldn’t afford to run a sports bike any more even if I could afford to buy one.
The squeeze on incomes is a very real thing and affects the choice of how I get my two wheel kicks. In all honesty the crashes didn’t help either. |

I think a lot of it is the change in state of the roads, weight of traffic in this country, plus as you say an ageing of the majority of motorcyclists today.
Back in the day, early 2000's, when I got back into bikes and got my first Sportsbike, 1999 ZX6R, the gulf in performance between Sportsbikes and non Sportbikes was huge, nowadays there is very little difference in real world riding and in a lot of cases a naked/adventure bike can actually be quicker from A to B than a Sportsbike and just as much fun. Case in point that 1999 ZX6R had 100bhp and weighed around 180kgs, my current Street Triple RS has 123BHP, more torque and weighs 166kgs (allegedly) it also has better suspension and brakes. |

I think your first point is a big factor in it about cost. i paid less than 7K for my P7F new in 07.
Nakeds have come a long way from 07 + really effectively sports bikes without fairings rather than turds. so they share the same parts and handle as well without the discomfort and are that bit cheaper, which is a big factor in todays world. The BMW S1000R v RR is about a 2.5K difference for 90% of the fun and as fast on real roads. I still love sports bikes and will never say never but i feel i will get another naked sports bike rather than the full fat version. |
