The numbers I’m looking at say the BMW is 60 lbs heavier, and I can tell you from riding them that they feel 100 pounds different. Read more

I support it with the BMW, because the 800 feels like it weighs the same amount the way it carries itself. Read more

Honda does this annoying/awesome thing where they make the weight disappear. Pushing my buddy’s 800GSA around a garage was one of the most stressful things I’ve done in a while, and the AT couldn’t feel more different. And it makes more and better power. Read more

It didn’t get nearly the same love, or power bump, the 1200 got when they went to the waterboxer. Don’t be that guy. Read more

It’s just rude to give me boners at this time of day. Read more

no, you’re not wrong :) Read more

All great reasons for your preference. Read more

Engine guards will help you in most little offs. Just ride it in rain mode at first, the worst thing new riders do is buy a bike where they’re afraid of the throttle while learning everything else. Read more

Yeah, you don’t count. Thats the bike all of us who work in this industry wish still existed, because it was the only thing that actually did everything WELL. Most of the guys I know own one :) Read more

I have not, but I did have Toucans which I liked a lot. They do boots really well, pretty hard to go wrong. I see a ton of dudes in Sidi Crossfires though, those are next on my list to test. Read more

SUUUUUUMOOOOOOOOOOOOO Read more

That thing is soooo heavy, and carries it’s weight terribly. If they gave it the water cooled treatment the 1200 got, which brought more power, and then put it in the Africa Twin body (or lighter), I’d be all in. Read more

I fucking love that bike. Just not for dirt. Read more

I love riding off road, I’m just not excited to do it on anything bigger than the Africa Twin. Read the whole article, and then we’ll talk. Read more

And if we’re happy with that as the bar, I’m totally cool with that! Read more

I said 700 cc, not 250. Read more

Honestly, this segment is great for sport touring, just not awesome in the dirt. The seating position is comfy and they move really fast when you want them to. It all depends on money and all, but start with something smaller to learn on (maybe the CB500X/Versys 650/V-Strom 650) and then go from there. Read more

You’ll love the new one. The DVT is awesome and it carries its weight better. Read more

I love this Read more
