Sound business decision. Whats the point of them carrying on when they cant make bike sales out of it. The 1000cc GT they do which is a very nice bike is still using the K5 Engine. Looks like they are going after the Middleweight market with their new Twin. You have to follow the market.

Since most of my long range touring days are behind me I considered both the V-strom 650 and the Honda CB500X. The Honda is an incredibly capable little bike with plenty of power to get you where you're going. Glad to see it make the list.

I've ridden two Moto Guzzi V85TTs now and while not powerful they really do have a sweet personality. Something to check out.

NEW CONCERN FOR BMW RIDERS

Over 100 Starbucks locations went on a one-day strike on Red cup day; 17NOV22. :D I would imagine that if their demands are not addressed, more strikes to follow.
Dont know what its like in US but over here their coffee is shite.

Agreed, Starbucks coffee is absolute dogsh*t.
Coffee is a very subjective thing. Their coffee is ok, but the thing over here is their price. Very Expensive. Keeps out the riff-raff on Teneres. I can get what I think is good cup of coffee for about 20% of what they charge.

The one in the nearest town will have a line around the building, and out into the street causing a traffic hazard.

True, like any beverage. But with theirs you pay for the brand. Poor and bitter quality and way to large bucket of crap. A good coffee is small and refined. I prefer a homebrew (existing word?) from a local café or someone at home.
