[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1448603, member: 19880"] I have been agonizing over getting a dual sport bike for the past two or three years. Trying to decide on big vs small, Japanese vs "other" and new vs used. I saw a nicely farkled 2011 BMW F650GS at a local Yamaha dealership a few weeks ago and it got me looking again. (That bike was factory lowered (I am 6'3") and overpriced.) I think the F700GS ticks most of the boxes so it ended up in my garage. Fair deal on a local private sale. Should be a decent bike for around town and for shorter local rides and can take me on roads I wouldn't want to attempt on the FJR. The BMW is 200 lb lighter and far less likely to sustain serious damage in the inevitable event of a drop. The FJR will still be the weapon of choice for longer distances and whenever I feel the need for speed. Need to develop some dirt riding skills... [/QUOTE]
