What Bike Next? (Ep22) - £8,000 Tourer Conundrum

BikeSocial member, Charlie, arrived almost convinced he knew exactly what bike he wanted. But after riding three very different machines, making a decision became much harder than expected. As 20-year BMW owner he needs a new motorcycle for long-distance touring, weekend rides and trips across Europe to visit his daughters, including a planned ride to Vienna. But what bike should he buy? In this episode of What Bike Next?, Simon and Michael battle to find the perfect motorcycle for long-distance touring, European road trips and everyday riding. One bike feels familiar, one is a complete surprise, and one leaves a lasting impression for all the wrong and right reasons. It is important to note that this series of What Bike Next? containing six episodes was recorded at branches of Superbike Factory prior to the company ceasing to trade and the Administrators being called in. At the time of filming nobody at Bennetts Motorcycling Services Ltd. knew about this sad turn of events. Tell us what YOU would have chosen for Charlie with his £8,000 budget. #WhatBikeNext #Motorcycles #UsedBikes CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction 01:01 - Charlie and his criteria 06:28 - Bike#1 reveal 09:18 - Bike #1 test ride 13:02 - BikeClub promotion 13:45 - Bike #2 reveal 16:18 - Bike #2 test ride 19:47 - Bridgestone tyre Q&A 21:15 - Wild card reveal 24:51 - Wild card test ride 28:35 - Discussing the options 40:26 - Final thoughts 41:43 - Bennetts ad 42:53 – Outtakes For exclusive offers and discounts visit https://www.bikesocial.co.uk/join Bike insurance due this month?
