hmmmm

 

or get something actually useful like a tenere 700 or africa twin

 

I see what you did there...

 

Its not useful if you live in a city. My Scrambler is ~390 lbs and super fun to throw around traffic, and i can hit gravel too

 

The older F700 and F800s are tanks, too. I have a 2010 F800GS with over 40,000 miles.

 

The older BMW F-series bikes with Rotax powerplants are durable and a good deal if you can find one in good shape. The new ones now have Chinese engines and time will tell if they're as good.

 

I can get a 2018 Ivan Edition for $10k



But seriously, for $12k for an 850cc is a really good deal for a Ducati. I love the old school Evel Knievel look! He was one of my heros growing up. Because of him I used to push the limits on my old Elsinore.

Jeez, I didn’t realize the new t700 is 452lbs wet.

This reminds me of @68dave Dave! He rides his Harley up at his cabin in WVa on the trails

 

The KLR is 100lbs lighter. Even the BMW GS 750 is actually a 853cc bike and weighs 500 lbs wet.

I use to throw my 1100 Roadster around and outgrew that quick the 10 years I had it. The Night Rod Special was a rocket, and lean! I wish I had kept that one.

 

I am holding out for a Husqvarna 701. 74hp and weighs 324lbs. Already have a white suit to match it.

 

Growing up only the rich kids had Huskys. I'd be proud to have one.
