Hi all
Im new to the forum. I used to have a Ducati Multistrada 1200 which i have just sold. I am looking to change it to either an r1200 GS Adventure Rallye or an s1000XR. I have ridden both bikes and love both bikes a lot. I have seen both bikes secondhand both with nearly all the extras and coming in at the right money for me. I am selling my car and have sold the bike as i am also putting money aside for a house deposit. Considering that i am going to have to keep this bike for a good while as buying a house is going to hurt my bike funds a good while
I will be using it to commute everyday as a daily driver. I wont be heading into the center of town a lot so filtering isnt a massive deal. All the roads i ride daily are plenty wide and have a bus lane i can make use of.
I would like to do some European touring on it too but i guess i can always rent a GS Adventure if i decide not to get one. Being in Ireland its not like i can just jump on the train and go.
Any help would be very much appreciated. I have posted this over in the GS forum as well to get both sides of the argument
