    more accessible, but if Honda can continue to design rear seats which have a folding base, why can't VW. Not very clever.

    Hi all, Some of you may have seen my thread on BMW F650CS v Honda Firestorm. Well, I've ruled out the Firestorm as not commuter friendly, being a real stretch to the bars and a bit big to move about comfortably for me (only 5'5") I saw a 650CS, but it was a shed. Nice enough, but there aren't
