[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 919503, member: 4296"] Oh come on now Andy this is a Man's Moto, please just stick to your Schwinn! I do fully agree with Don Carver and Herr Petey, in not understanding how both Yamaha and Triumph could not have controlled the immense weight on their new big trailies. It is no mystery to anyone Triumph and Yamaha had their sights set on the BMW R1200GS as the machine to beat for sales. So if they were starting with a clean sheet of engineering design, why did they build dual sports 60-70 lbs. heavier than the GS? As much as it gives me major pains to agree with Bungie, he is right on regarding the Triumph 800XC being the best combination street bike and dual sport out there right now. My best BMW Buddy Uri Schumm is going to buy a Triumph X800C in 2012. [/QUOTE]
