One Foot Off The Farm!

Yes makes total sense... a lot of Harley guys have tried out a gold wing and didn’t like it. Said it didn’t have a soul. Went back to a Harley even tho it had less power and accessories because it felt like they were riding a motorcycle. The Goldwings are the epitome of “Vanilla” when it comes to motorcycles.

Prior to getting my Harley I never would’ve believed that sometimes less is more...... Cant always go by what a dyno sheet tells you or what bells & whistles a bike has. Sometimes you just gotta put your ass in the seat and rack up some miles. If it feels great and you are enjoying ride then who gives a fuq what it has or doesn’t have?

I just don’t see the practicality of buying a Duke GT for touring? Small bags small tank and tight Ergos...... Daily commuter hell yes! Weekend getaway perhaps. Cross country Iron Butt challenge....??? Don’t think so. It’s pretty much the same as the Busa far as function goes. Why not diversify you bikes? Get a Bagger or an Adventure bike.... now you got options depending on the ride you wanna take?

Speaking to your last point, If you really want a mile muncher KTM, they are bringing the 1290 Adventure S to the states next year. It has the larger Adventure bags and nearly all the gizmos and power of the Superduke GT but with lots more room, and what looks like a better fairing for doing the distance. Not sure why they waited so long to bring this version the US but it is the more road centric version of the 1290 SA they brought out a few years ago. I test rode that BMW Rallye recently and liked it alot, but for $22k starting point I just dont know.

Hey Arch do me a favor and take a look @ this bike before you make a final decision. The Yamaha Eluder has the comfort and styling of a traditional V-twin but also has the Bells & Whistlesof a modern bike that your looking for
