New 650 contender

Just spotted this. At last BMW have come to their senses:

BMW G650 Xchallenge

Now to wait two years+ for them to bring out accesories like larger tank etc and then another 2 years on that to make an 'adventure' version.

...it still looks like a pelican though with that silly beak

The US is a major market for bm .. you'll see it.

Wait one year for the bugs to be worked out. Think the Suzi DR650 may be better for the cost/weight etc. Anyways .. it anit 'out' for buying yet.
