Sort of. I need to take it out of circulation in Spain, import it to the UK and then decide whether to hang on to it for the odd bit of off-road stuff, or let it go.
Current bike is a Yamaha T7

Good aren't they, I'm just over a year and 12K into ownership of a Rally Pro and love it.
Off to wales again this weekend to play on some of Triumph's Rally Pro's, they are capable offroad with very plush suspension.
RBW.

Well this is embarrassing. I pulled the plug on the tiger. On my way to pay for the tiger, my friend wanted to look at a bike. Whilst there, something caught my eye and I took it out for a ride. 2hra later, I returned the bike and delayed paying for the Tiger. The next day, we returned to the dealer, took the bike out again for another 90 minutes and I bought it. I collect it on my birthday, the 8th October, and I've never felt so calm and certain about any other bike that i've bought.

Go on then... What are you getting? Don't tell us, you got distracted by a blue scooter and you'll be joining Godspeed in the mud this winter?

I've bought a bike I never thought I'd like, and if I'm honest, it's a bike I never wanted to like. Its a BMW 1250 GSA Rally HP. I was always put off by their size and weight, but once on one, they actually feel quite light and nimble. It will be ridden further than the nearest Starbucks though, as it's not on PCP...

Just wait for the shocked faces when you book a 10,000 mile service!
Plus the accusatory "You've been riding in the winter/rain/off-road" when you point out that the paint has fallen off the engine.

That's a big beast Alan. Impressed that you just changed your mind and went with it. I've been dithering about what bike to buy to replace my enduro for ages. Bit different to the 640...
