The adventure style bike that is gonna really take off is BMW's new one. Uses the S1000R's engine, and not as ergo radical as a GS. I would love the XR, and possibly get rid of my whole stable if only one bike could be owned.
Both bikes in the photo are nice bikes. Chain drive and touring are two things I don't want to combine again.
Quite a simple matter to trim the herd. Trade in the Voyager and your Connie for a new Connie!
I did and smiling like a "Cheshire Cat" to boot.
The chain is a valid point. It would lean me towards a Triumph Explorer or Moto Guzzi Stelvio.
But they are so damn ugly. Arlen needs to go back to design school. Just my opinion, some do like it.
Ugly indeed.... and I know I could never get past the V-twin part. But, it is not me who wants to trade the C14!Not trading my 14 either, but some twins are cool. KTM, DUC,Aprilia, and even the VStrom and older Honda twins are really nice. Granted they aren't 45* V Twins with uber long strokes, but still two cylinders. Super Duke R 1290, and Panigali S 1299 come to mind. tomp

mmmm twins....That would make a great desk top wallpaper for my laptop. Gotta love those twins. FWIW, I believe that may be why guys ride Harleys, for the twins. tp

Sheesh, well, there's gotta be some reason.
Seems folks everywhere like Harleys. Just this one forum has over 300,000 members. Most bike forums would kill to have that kind of participation. No reason to dis the untold millions who ride and enjoy riding simple, nostalgic motorcycles....until you're stuck behind them in your own personal hell cause you can't pass....

...until you're stuck behind them in your own personal hell cause you can't pass....You guys are hilarious. Spoke with a DL1000 owner this PM, and we agreed that all motorcycle are fun to ride. Limiting oneself with motorcycles is like dating only blondes. LOTS TO BE SAID FOR BRUNETTES AND REDHEADS...
