Hi Lor enzo,
Sorry for late reply as been out n about/work etc.
Still looking mate. I have recently tried GSX1000GX/GT/Versys 1000/Africa Twin/Tracer 9 as well as the GS`s & Multi`s . My budget is errr having to get bigger.Right now ,my new favourite is the Versy`s 1000/1100. Yesterday i stood looking at a 2013 £8,300 BM GS1200 with 17k on it. 10 feet away was a Versy`s (it`s sold) which was mint & 10 years newer with 5k miles on it. Riding position also suited my knees(gettin older sucks eh) perfectly. So having a look around at these things too now. Not bad considering i only had a choice of 2 makes when i started looking for a bike.
I`d say i`m now heading for a Jap bike again chaps. The Versy`s is now top of the list so sorry to offend all you GSers!
