[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 943704, member: 3828"] I think the WR is fine for bopping around locally and getting dirty, but [I]way [/I]too small for any kind of serious touring duty. That is where the mid size ADV tourers come in. Can't speak to the Katoom, but the Wee-strom is pretty much the same exact bike as the manly version 'strom, with a few minor exceptions (up until the redesign this year). I can tell you that after installing a Russell seat, bigger windshield and Madstad bracket on there it is actually [I]more[/I] comfortable to ride than my FJR (which also has a Russell). The upright body position and softer suspension make the miles pass under the tires effortlessly. I would have no (more than usual) reservations about riding one to the arctic circle and back. Not gonna touch that one. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
