[QUOTE="canyonman, post: 706119, member: 5637"] For me I would use it to explore the 100,000 or so miles of NF dirt roads and logging roads all over the rockies, sierras, cascades, and desert regions in this country not to mention Alaska. The weight is a lot but my Harley weighs a lot too and is WAY more stable on dirt and gravel than my FJR because of fork angle, front tire diameter, and CG. I don't know if this bike would exibit the same characteristics? would have to ride one to know. If I wanted to run the Colorado 500 I would trailer something better suited to that then ride. If the FJR is any indication the maintenance on this bike would be superior to the BMW or the KTM. Way better dealer network than either as well. Comes ready to haul all my camping shit with optional boxes. Good sized tank And for me its a LONG damn way to all the fun stuff so this bike would fill my needs better than just about anything I've seen yet YMMV. Price? who knows they don't sell it here so it's just speculation at this point. And lastly it's a Yamaha and I like em. [/QUOTE]
