A few that spring to mind were CZ175, VFR800, Commando, ST1100, GS1200 x 3, KTM990, and currently a Triumph Tiger 800.

Without a doubt the best everyday all rounder were the 1200GS which is why I had 3 of them or at least 2 of them the third being written off by Angharad Lewis. The worst bike by a long way was a Harley Sportster which was unreliable, uncomfortable and crude as allegedly are all Harleys.

My wife loved the ST1100 but disliked the GS because of the hunched up jockey like seating for pillions. Since I didnt really like having a pillion, I had 3 GS.

The current Triumph has the best engine of the lot - a silky smooth 800cc 3 cylinder
