Get a Berg worth it!

 

I also have a 1996 Ducati 900ss, Suziki DL650 and a 2006 DR650 (2 wheeled version)

As a side not the Moto Guzzi V7 Racer is for sale if interested PM me for details

 

My wife started riding my BMW G650GS this summer and told me to sell her Honda CRF250L. I looked at all kind of bikes and the moment I sat on the Africa Twin it was game over. So nice. I absolutely love it. The power, the exhaust note, the look of it, but most of all (despite being a big bike) it feels quick and nimble. It amazes me how such a big bike can feel so well balanced and maneuverable.

 

calling a few today but idk if there are going to be any in stock. id definitely take a 690e still though

 

I have always been a Honda fan and id really be out of my tree riding a different dual sport/dirt bike. The 250L will be come my dedicated rough trail woods adventure bike that I can take on camping trips. The twin I can flat foot and I feel more proportioned on it, 6'5 . The klr is nice too but I have a feeling it will lack power on the highway for long distance rides. We have a place up north called motovt you can rent them, so I'm going to see what I like best. BMW are nice bikes the gs800 is slick

 

I just saw the full SM version in a client's parking lot. 701 race. I dk where you're located but our dealer has quite a few.

 

I rode a 800GS because I thought that would be my next bike but I honestly didn't like it. It was ok but it didn't do anything for me. The second I sat on the AT my heart skipped a beat. And it is a solid bike on the freeway. My 650GS was scary at 70 with semis and cars all around. The AT doesn't wiggle a twit. It goes 0 to 90 like nothing and holds its own.

 

im in ky right now. called a couple dealerships so my options are 690eR or 701e. both of which i wont mind.

edit: going to look at the 690

 

xcw, youll want lights anyways to do any night riding

 

going for a test ride

 

this is my buddies goldwing. cafe style

 

i thought they discontinued the sumo models and were only offering the enduros! might have to see about selling the 450 for one. i wouldnt mind a little more legs without having to completely wring it out

 

no way, around my area its hard for the 701sm to even be in stock. the dealer i called this morning said id have to order one to even have a chance.

 

Ive got an 13xcw and have ridden the 14xc. Both good bikes. Xc was easier to steer. Xcw was more stable at speed. Overall I am happy with the xcw but not much of it left.

 

because im impulsive

 

did you buy it???

 

yeaaaaah

 

nice man. i am also a connoisseur of the instant gratification. im guessing it comes street legal from the factory unlike yamaha who decided to neuter the WR for green sticker, put lights on it, and give it an off road only certificate of origin (or whatever its called) which the dealer still hasnt sent me.

hopefully it also comes with a longer warranty than one month.

nice bike m8. be sure to give us an AAR

 

yes street legal from factory so thats nice. and just more power to make cruising a little better. the warranty is one year on it.

the wr is a good bike though.

aar?
