I've been to few places that have surprised even me on the Pan and been well impressed with it. There have been times when I've been wrestling more than I would like though, and I once hurt myself fighting not to drop it. It is actually well protected against falling over, but a longer drop could be painfully uncheap. Most of my riding is medium to long distance commuting (I work on contract so I go where the work is - it's not always local) and my travelling tends to be in places with at least adequate roads so the Pan suits my needs perfectly. As the children are now grown up I can take longer breaks and I'm starting to think of getting a bit further off the beaten track. I'll keep the Pan but I hope to get something to keep it company soon. I've no intention of starting a controversy, but the Wee Strom looks right for me. Whatever I get will be mid range* as the likes of the GS strike me as too tall and too heavy.
*Not much before my time big bikes were about 500cc and they were for real men. Anything bigger than that was for pulling a sidecar yet I've just called a 650 "mid range".
PS: No offence taken Craig.
