I just sold one, and perhaps I will show its pic in a nearby thread. Gorgeous bike. But I could barely touch the pavement with both big toes. A dirt bike that only tall guys can ride, which is a long distance touring bike, with knobby tires and 1200 cc. Huh?
I might get a Harley.

Indeed. I talked with a guy from the UK last week in town. His ride was a Ducati complete with aluminum panniers and so much stuff bunji corded on that he couldn't get it up onto the center stand without unloading half of the stuff. He had just arrived in Nova Scotia beginning a 6 month tour of North America. I wonder how many sets of knobby tires he will go through.
That sort of bike is certainly a statement, but it's not my language.
