Use to ride GS 1150s until I took a wee heart attack a couple of years ago. The better half wanted me to get rid of it and the long and short of it was I did. Missed the biking, so as I had a dr400 & 600 Suzuki's and a lot lighter, I rode round Ireland completing the Irish Photo Rally. This year I got myself a 2 year old CRF with 36 miles on it. I was finding the kick starter a bit tiresome on the dr's. Electric is the way to go. I've just completed the Irish Photo Rally & Ironbutt Irish Photo Rally, and found it comfy, cheap but not fast, but fast enough for the roads that I was on. I've passed the need for speed and now enjoy the quiet tootle. Total mileage just over 4000 miles.
Small is nice.
