  • Not a lot of mid weight bikes excite me.

    Aprilia Tuareg 660 looks proper good...

    Otherwise the Husqvarna Norden 901 and Ducati Desert X are both very spicy...

  • Working myself up to buying a new Tuareg 660, probably yellow. Few shops are struggling to shift them so have them on at £8500-8995 out the door. Haven't found a demo yet as shops keep selling them (MC shops need to sort this out, so many bikes I didn't even bother looking at as no one has a demo, do folks REALLY just spend £10-20k on a bike without even an idea what its like? For me its an absolute requirement that my ass + legs don't go numb and it doesn't buffet).

    Old BMW is either going as it is, or might refresh engine, been sat all winter and now valve stem seals have gone, leaks oil into cylinder pretty quickly causing starting issues + smoke. Pretty simple job on old rotax engine, but honestly kind of fed up trying to make bikes work.

  • I can well imagine.

    When I bought my MINI the dealer said I was one of the only people who'd test driven one. All of his orders were over the phone (this was back in 2010 or).

  • Colchester Kawasaki have a demo bike (allegedly). Not a bad ride up the 414 via tiptree to get there.

  • Few shops are struggling to shift them so have them on at £8500-8995 out the door.

    Hard to believe when by all accounts they're the primo mid-weight adventure bike! I'll probably look out for one myself in a few years when I've a bit more experience on bikes and prices have dropped on used ones!

  • Love a Beemer- what is it? Guessing it’s an F650 or something if its got a Rotax engine
