Well as some of you know ive the Tiger 1050 which is cracker but just dont use it enough and im still young so will make me loose my license (way too easy to speed, wheelie, slid into a corner
). And no Fiddich im not doing to cut and shunt the tiger!!! well not yet anyway
So ive a few different options in my head as to what bike to get that will allow me to not get done but also allow me to off road on. If the Tenere ride with Fiddich's bike doesnt stir my tea right my next option is
Buy an older version Suzuki DL650
Remove the front fairing (and sell to make some money)
put on a high front mudguard (sell orginal to make money)
Make some form of braket for the clocks
make or clamp on some form of large single head light on.
then finally attach some form of screen on for protection
Now as im looking to keep the bike for a while and to use mostly for road riding but also off roading i will soon find out if i like the 19inch front wheel or not (test rode both old and new versions, didnt have any issues with feel but as for off roading now sure what its like). Anyway if i dont like the 19inch front which ive heard quiet alot of people dont is looking at the option of a 21 inch front and the easiest option is to get a complete front forks and wheel rather than try to find a wheel that will fit into the dl650s forks.
The reason i want dual discs (if its not too hard) is that the bike would still be used for touring and the DL650 is a big old girl.
Options so far are
Tenere 660 front
KTM 950/990 front
KTM 640 adveturer 640 front
DR650 front (single disc but suppose to not be so hard to change over!!! they say)
Let the abuse begin
