    3:40 and this is the part that scares me about getting a bike. Notice how he took no accountability. Started blaming you and saying you were looking at a phone and slowing down when from his lane on the right he should have seen the bus was stopped and there was nowhere to go. He didn’t plan ahead, and was just planning on making a dangerous overtake because he didn’t move over to the correct lane early.

    You say you envy those smaller bikes, there's been times I've got into central London and I envy the scooters, when it's freezing and my left hand can't enjoy the heated grip because I'm having to balance the clutch as i work through stationary or slow moving traffic.

      @ wheel base on a naked is generally greater on a naked bike due to fork rake & naked bikes are generally slightly heavier but not by much. Obviously those things depend on the bike itself. Gearing on sports bikes is higher & yes upright handlebars are better for street riding as posed to a sports bike. Weight on a naked, or any bike, can be reduced by a good 5kg by fitting a full system high flow exhaust. Just like chatting bikes 👊
