Well, I finally bought a new bike.
Not at all what I thought I would end up with but in the end it was the bike I felt best suited what I wanted to do.

BTW, i have ordered the panniers but not the top box.

I have been on the hunt for months now and at one stage was looking at a cruiser.
Then I started looking at adventure style bikes.
The BMW G650GS very nearly got the nod.

But in the end I figured that what I wanted to do was some serious touring starting with a 7500km round trip to the Aus Moto GP in October.

Anyway, I still have my KLX for dirt fun and I already have a aux fuel tank and dirt bagz to enable some dirt trips over a number of days.

How many bikes are up to now?

Thats a good looking bike though.

You should tow the KLX behind that thing, now that would be funny.

Haha, One of the things that drew me to this bike was the seat.
It has a 3 position seat adjustment with the lowest setting being 780mm.
It also moves the seat forward a tad as well.
Screen height and handle bar position both have 2 options.

Now, there was a green option in Europe but it never came here.
Thank goodness for that.
IMO, It doesn't look good in green.
