I know I'll regret it, but my R1200R Sport is now in the for sale section :-(
yes, selling the R and getting that lump of shite is really very silly
Hey Gyp
I never regretted buying my Harley Electraglide, and used it both to tour and to hoon down small country lanes. And I still miss its unique sound and character.
So scratch that itch, and enjoy .
Thanks Simon. One lesson that it has taken me a long time to learn is that better isn't always better.
A couple of summers ago I test rode a few bikes and, after trying lots of massively capable machines, tried a Triumph Street Scrambler just for the hell of it.
Compared with everything else I'd ridden, it was much less powerful, slower, less well suspended, poorly braked, was less comfortable and had minimal equipment. And I absolutely loved it as it was basic and fun. I take it everywhere at 50ish mph and smile as I go.
I'd not want to do longer journeys on it (despite spending a small fortune on equipping it so I could tour on it - full Givi luggage and BMW Nav VI all installed), so I'm hoping the HD can fill the unhurried longer distance role.
Time will tell
Try a KTM 390 Duke
Cheap, naughty and fun.
I've done long trips on it to without any problems.
It seems less is best.
