Hmm interesting. I do have a ct110 at the moment and really enjoy riding it. The reason behind my thinking is that it seems like a challenge. I live in the South Island of New Zealand at the moment and on the odd motorcycle rally bumped into a few blokes who are know as the scooter boys.
They travel thousands of km's on there little bikes just enjoying the ride.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy my trips on my trusty dr650 but maybe I need a challenge. Perhaps the dr just makes life too easy and reliable. No catastrophic mechanical breakdowns to deal with!!
I reckon on a little bike I would be more at one with the locals or perhaps a little more on an even keel.
In my time in Indian I never went much above 70 anyway.
Lets face it in the last ten years the world of adventure bikes has gone mad. Huge BMW's and the like what a joke we don't need them but the marketing people make us think we do along with the gps and touratech bits and pieces and all the rest of the junk people buy and attach to their bikes.
So I guess Yamaha Jog is stupid simple and no chance to carry all the rubbish. That's my thoughts anyway.
But after my gravel road trip today I really need an better suspension set up.
Any ideas anyone? 
Cheers
Rich
