[QUOTE="rockmurf, post: 904211, member: 2124"] Thanks OC and MC, those were the responses I was looking for. My interest in the dual sport, s10, is primarily the length of travel in the suspension to smooth out the bumps in the road. The write ups I have read, the comparisions, have rated the s10 as a super slab bike but too heavy for off road activity. The r1200gs actually came in first in the sport touring comparision but I have concerns about the beemers reliability and cost of ownership. I already know the fjr is a great machine and I am just looking to the future. I don't know how many of us buy the same bike again no matter how good it may have been. I spent alot of money dialing in my fjr, traxxion suspension, mayer seat, heli triple and risers, etc, so I am no rush to try to move it and with the miles on it I probably won't be able to sell it but that is ok because it runs better than when it was new. When the time comes I will know what I will be buying rather than start the process of researching what I should get. I demo'd a multistrada last weekend and that is an awesome machine but cost of ownership and reliability also come into play. Nothing like a good old Yamaha. ps I owned a goldwing 03 put 40k miles on in 18 months. great bike but had it when my wife rode on the back. now she rides her own. [/QUOTE]
