  • Could go v strom 650. My mate has one and loves it for what it is. Or versys 650. Both capable and good bikes. Cheap too.

  • v strom 650

    I'd rather eat week old baguette. Soooooo boring. This was also on super interesting roads to boot, but the bike just didn't really inspire you even wringing it.
    Versys was surprisingly nice. Suspension felt way more sorted and the engine had character.

    There's a lot of BMW full gear wankery here, and the couple of 990 amidst them was a breath of fresh air. I'll take the ugly duckling over the ubiquitous shite.

  • Yeah boring. But good for a job.

    Cheap, reliable and will eat miles. Good mpg too.

  • Word. Despite all it's acolytes, the SV650 is one of the most boring bikes I've ever ridden. Can't imagine what a heavier more upright version would be like.

    SV1000 would be worth a look, decent half fairing, cracking engine, v-twin noise and cheap.
