motard or full road bike.

hey peeps, as some would know I have killed my back and there is a very good chance that I wont be able to ride on the dirt for a long time if at all. I was thinking of trading in my 03 FE400E for either a motard or a full road bike like a GSXR750.

for a non raced daily rider that wont get the pounding my current berg copped I'm wondering what the comfort level and suspension of a motard is like compared to a road bike. I wont be able to cop very much jarring in my back so a soft setup will need to be the go.

any one got both to give an idea of the difference. If the motard is like my fe it looks like I'll have to leave the husaberg community for a while

Ps I love my berg but it's bruk and I cant ride it :crying:

not sure what's wrong with the back as the specialist is aparently out of the country, but basically they think I have a ruptured disck in my lower back and this is causing all sorts of cramping and other issues.

to give you an idea I thaught I would help the missus clean up as she's 6 months preggas and I'm an awesome husband so I grab the broom and swept a floor about 8 square metres and spent the next 2 nights in hospital. Until I get an MRI they wont know what the issue is.

Since I have to fix the berg before I modify/sell/trade in, I figured I'd get an idea of what the other bikes are like. If I can get away with it I'd rather keep my bike but money and new family comitments may change that. I was thinking of getting an NSR150 as a run around till the berg is fixed.

oz rider: I tried the R1 before I baught the berg and to be honest they're a pig, no offence.

that's sorta why I went the berg route. for the amont of power the little 400 had it handled the rd better than my cbr 250. I was sliding corners on the cbr at 90 + k's but the berg used to stick it. strange but true.

just for stupidity I put the berg down the drag strip and with a lot of wheelspin and a bit of valve bouncing she did 14 seconds.
