Another 2013 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom :) - the 'Grand Tourer' version. Very happy so far!

in light of the recent resurrection, I voted for 3 manufacturers as that's what I own and ride :)

We have 10 or more in all brands and sizes at any given time, but showing up in places where we "shouldn't" be on these provides more encouragement to others than all the rest.

Lots of people pooh-pooh these, but when properly prepared, they do well.
This one has all new internals in the forks, touring windscreen, off-road pegs, and decent luggage.

Buell Ulysses
 
Am I the only one to travel on a Buell? I have a KLR as well but the Buell is more capable, comfortable a whole lot more fun to ride.

I just can't fault this little baby ( F650 twin). Had it 3 years now and no nasty suprises. Changed the concrete bloc of a seat for something much more acceptable for travel. What I really love is the placement of the fuel tank under the seat with side filler ( no pi**ing about at fuel stations with the tank bag), and it's 75mpg+ even when fully loaded- extraordinary. It's kept it's paint finish beautifully, no rust anywhere.

It was just for a vague idea is all... Looks like the BMW marketting machine is indeed stronger than I thought !!

:Beach:

Ok her goes I have a Honda "scoopy 50" for around town & city as I can literally carry it up and down steps as I need to, push it along the pavement past the accident for 100m and not care & finally take my little one on the back and my wife is happy! :scooter:

Going any distance I have a old BMW k75 which I am going to get ready for a bit of adventuring to India next year. :blushing:

Oh and yes according to my wife and sister... I am mad. I just want to live a little, while having children on a budget!

I have owned four different bikes since this thread started!

I wonder if this poll can be frozen and another started? It would be interesting to watch for trends.

Down but not out
 
:oops2:
8000 miles on the Tiger so far and has served me well. Got the better of me ( lack of skills) two days after Christmas on a soft sand patch and broke my ankle (on yanking my leg out from under the bike) :nono:
A great bike so far but I will have to brush up on some off road skills!
3 - 4 month wait until throwing the leg over again to carry on.
Safe riding everyone.

I’m using Yamaha YZF-R15, the best bike for travelling

hello Guys and Girls!
I'm new to the forum and new to motorbiking and I've got some maybe silly questions but I hope you can bear me :D
first question what I wonder is can you tell me if I can rent a bike for my first trips on it? I was looking for some kinda car rental company as for example Rent a car in Yerevan and throughout Armenia but I couldn't found service that rents bikes can you help me? I'm sorry if the question is off-topic
thank you in advance :)

This is my tajada taxi. Honda 250XR Tornado with a screaming 23hp at the crank, but it has a great ride and plenty of zip for around the city and into the mountains. 2-up with my little lady works ok too.
