looking for commuter / travel bike
hi all i'm looking for an adventure style bike to replace my landrover for commuting and also be able to use for 2up travel, i only have a budget of around £2k and being a landy owner i'm handy with the spanners.
I like the bmw 650gs but don't know if it would be too small for 2up travelling so have been looking at the 1150 but don't know what the fuel consumption is like. your comments welcome regards all Gren

You are unlikely to get an 1150 for 2k.
You will struggle to get a half decent 1100 for that.

commuter/ travel bike
For that price, you are going to be hard pressed to get even a good used F650. probably more likely an older Funduro (90's) model, but you might pick up a good used early 2000's injected bike. Great commuter bike. Will it work for two up traveling? Yes, but there are limitations and comfort issues. It is what you make of it. If that is your budget, you can find a way to make it work....
I'd consider an older Honda Transalp or such, might fit the price range and also be a bit better 2 up.

You'll get an older v-strom 650 for that money.
