Hello!
I got a problem!
I'm looking for a big "adv"-tourer.
I have sold my sport bike because I swear it's mission was to destroy my knees.
The problem then? I live in the wrong end of Sweden, kept my eye out for a 955 or other big adv within reasonable distance for about a year now but still nothing.
So I can't just go out and test ride bikes
I have always loved the tiger. Without ever ridden one, it's the number one bike I'm looking for.
How's the tiger compared to something like a R1150GS(which I have ridden) or dl1000?
Right now I'm thinking of abandoning the tiger for one of those two just because they are easier to find here.
Why should I keep waiting for a tiger(the sound alone might be worth it ^_^)?
Is the 1150gs reliable even though it has 50000-60000km on the clock?
Is it worth paying the extra money for the beamer?
The Strom feel like the cheap way out, but I'm strangely draw to it.
And something on the completely different end of the scale!
The 660 tenere! I adore the way this bike looks! BUT if I'm going anywhere on the bike, it's a long way to get there(1000km to Stockholm, for example).
Will I get insane riding a xt in highway speeds for extended periods of time?
And can it handle 2-up with two 80kg passengers or will it feel like a moped?
Thanks!
