After not riding in 13 years I want to get back in shape on the dual sport. Then once I get my balance back solid as it once was then a street bike maybe next. The Suzuki 1250 bandit will be the one. Again it's the redesigned 1100 GSXR Motor. LQ cooled.
It really is hard not to like the Beta's. They look amazing like an Italian bike should and are completely competitive.
I think the honda XR650L and the Suzuki 1250 bandit are two dependable bullet proof fun rides. I'll tweet in the bandit and add the complete yoshimera exhaust system. Ill have to see what little hop up parts for the engine is available. I changed the ignition rotor on my 1200 bandit. The XL 650L will remain stock. The left kickers will remain the fun bikes.
I bought a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere and it's been a great bike for me. It actually handles better off road than I expected. I bought a 5 year YES warranty for $400 from Yamaha but so far it's been flawless. I have a bit over 12,000 miles on her now. Food for thought. It's a very comfortable long haul bike IMHO.
