I've got a 650L now...

I had a 650R a few years back. As a supermoto AND Enduro. It's a hell of a bike but can be a bitch to start and.. It's powerful too and gobbles up the juice.

For Overlanding, I think the 650L is a better option but it also needs work to get it ready for a proper trip ...

Seeing as no one else has jumped in I thought I'd mention the other often mentioned limitation is the 650r us the Ali rear subframe that can't take much weight if you're loaded up and heading for the tough stuff. Drz 400 if you want off road or xt 660 for an easier ride? Or get a ktm640 adv for the ...

On a more positive note. My old Africa Twin was stolen in July 2011. I found some parts for sale on eBay nearly a year later. It turns out the bike had been broken for spares and was In a breakers yard less than 15 miles away.

After lots of persuasion Police searched the breakers yard and found a ...

What a bummer. :angry:

I really feel for the guy.

Let's hope that the fuckers get caught, and taken to an ABR rally so we can all take it in turns to test out new sets of pliers.

Perhaps pliers would be a good 'starter'. :whistle:

They never do tho, in 2009 I parked my bike in ally near a ...

Ive owned both and ridden 2 up on both. The 1200 is much better 2 up, more comfy, more power, you can hardly feel there is someone on the back. Thats not to say the 800 couldnt do it, it could...just not as well. It depends on what you want to do with it. If you go off road at all then id take a ...
