I can’t wait to get hold of one these!
Custom exhausts and sticky tires!

Juha – It’s not bad – I’ve ridden the more sporty version, and the engine is excellent. The more upright one would be just as fun and a lot more practical.

Of course you may have to upgrade your helmet system for that bike….

Yup Josh – I think I want one too. I spoke to a BMW guy (he works for BMW motorcycles in R&D in Germany) and he really rated the bike as well.

The next question is whether to get rid of the 1200 Adventure GS or the KTM 950 Adv. The 1200 GS I think….

Lance I was at the London bike show and they had a bike there. It looks pretty impressive, a good, basic concept that feels like it will work well. It does seem as if they have left some guards etc to the Touratech fettle-merchants but key things like weight and comfort feel about right.

No one I have spoken to can knock it. And I know a lot of BMW-haters.

I still won’t be buying one yet, though. I can’t afford it!

Quite keen on the F800 street model… seems good value.
