Too much time looking out of the window at the snow and not enough riding is a dangerous combination
I've 3 bikes, the K100, MT350 and a Street Triple. Each has its own niche and I enjoy them all in different conditions and on different rides. But often when my mind wanders I start to fantasise about one bike that does it all? You can see where this is heading LOL....
I reckon an F800 GS might do most of it but based on a quick viewing there's not enough that's special about it for me and it might struggle as a touring machine - but the K1300, probably in ''S' form while my back and wrists can still take it - oh yes. That looks some bike and the reviews are pretty positive. Not without flaws but quite a flexible beast - and what a lot of power!
Mind you couldn't go where I go on the MT and I would miss amny things about the K -inclduing the tinkering
Anyway back to reality - can't afford one anyway. Anyone ridden one?
Cheers
Dave
