After having tested several bikes the only 2 that really offered the comfort I needed were the Explorer and the GS Adventure. Didn't like the way the Adventure rode so took the plunge today and traded in my R6 for a 2016 model Explorer XR.

It was registered in December as it has 500 miles on it but I got it for a good price and having heated grips and the new Expedition top box fitted before I pick up.

Don't have a date yet but need to sort out the finances etc and hopefully pick it up soon!

Will probably have a lorry load of questions to ask and hope to get to know everybody!

Thanks

Paul.

Welcome..I took the plunge myself last year with a new Tex from Youles where it looks like your is from. Loving the new bike and the riding position is a revalation after years of riding sportsbikes myself. Enjoy your new bike and you never know we might bump into each other some time as I'm just down the road from Warrington

We have a long term test XCA on the magazine fleet this year I've been putting a few miles on.
Great choice of bike, you'll love it.
