I'm currently still pootling about on a '12 plate YBR 125, since passing my test. It's not hugely bothered me, since I pretty much just commute, and it's been a tad cold for long journeys.
For a while, I've had my eye on an XJ6N, which was the first non-cruiser to grab my attention. You see, I've always wanted a cruiser type - still do - but while flicking through bike sites, the XJ6 just went "HIIIIIIiiiiiiii!"
I can't say for certain why. It's not the fastest bike. It's not the sleakest. But, reviews I've seen since have said it's reliable. And there's a reason it's a popular bike [I since found] for motorcycle schools in the UK.
However, this weekend, I've added a second bike to that list now. It's in the same sort of league - popular in the schools - as the XJ6; the ER-6N. I had a sit on one of these when I went to Bolton Motorcycles over the weekend, and it was rather comfortable.
I'm still wanting the XJ6 mainly, but I think I will be happy if an ER-6N pops up before the XJ does...
And then I can go a little bit faster than the YBR can get to (:
