i did the klr thing a couple of years ago, but kept taking it down trails I had no business on. I got rid of it and replaced it with a ktm exc 520
i like the big strom, I almost got one instead of the tiger.
Cap wrote:I like your taste in bikes Sandman. The Triumph Tiger is a cool bike. All of the models you mention a little out of my price range and even more out of my "Can I really get the use out of it" range, thus I ride the KLR650 and a Suzuki V-Strom 650. I find a 650cc is all I really need for power and economy.sandman wrote:iv'e been thinking about adding a R1200GS to the stable
iv'e been looking at 06's the prices seem to sway a lot anywhere from 9-16k
i don't even know if i'll like riding one.
btw:my current adventure bike is a tiger
i wonder how a R1200GS or a 990 adventure would fit in to possibly replace the tiger.
Sorry to hijack your thread Euro. All BMW bikes are really cool in my opinion. If you have the dough go for it. I wish I could justify a F650GS. But no one ever sings the praises for this model over the KLR or a similar machine.
Check out ADVforum.com. Good place to find a nice used bike.
Ride safe.
