So we're just about to buy our first big bike and plan to head of to Spain in Nov via France for some sport climbing. Also planning to head to Morroco, Mallorca, Eastern Europe etc etc. All 2-up and full kit. Ill also be using it for my journey to work which varies in distance but often a 80mile round trip.
I thought I liked the V-strom 650 but did not like it when sat on it, did not like the triumph 800 let seat. Sat on a Gs and really liked it!! But this thing just looks mean and ready to do the job and potentially cheaper in the long run. (As we won't be changing)
So any advice would be appreciated? We will be buying second hand and are not into hair braining around. I'm a strong 34 year old and my inside leg is 32inch.
Oh did I mention this is the bike that my partner wants and will be paying.
