Trident 800

looks promising, sub 200kg, maybe one for when the V85 feels heavy.

Where does the topbox go? Dinky pillions only on that rear perch. Cheap running gear will soon disappoint I reckon

aren't you making a category error?

I wasn't suggesting as a like for like replacement for the V85. If that bike becomes unwieldy for me than it might be time for me to give up long tours and just have a bike for short trips to the seaside via the Mach Loop.

if you want a touring bike with the same engine, buy the Tiger Sport
