Looking for a new (to me) adventure bike.
Current considerations are :
Honda Crosstourer (VFR1200)
Yamaha Tracer 900
BMW R1200GS
Anything else spring to mind?
Including trade in on my bike, I have around £5000 to play with, but can stretch a little for the right bike.
I am leaning toward the Honda as I know how industrial the engines are, and how shit I am at maintenance schedules.
But BMW does have a "fuck off on a ride across the country" vibe to it.
I'd like a big old screen, heated grips, luggage, etc. but they can all be easily retrofitted
Edit: I am 198cm/ 6'6" tall, so need something roomy.
