Vector I am so glad that you had the opportunity to do something this
Standard or Motard I would believe, especially at deals gap which is a very tight and technical road. Most cruisers come out of there with major scrapage even if they take it slow.

I think a Motard would be the perfect bike to run the dragon on.
Absolutly, I can corner better on a R1200GS BMW quicker than on my K1200S. Give me a Husquavarna 610 and I will take on anybody. Long fast sweeps are one thing, tight pegs on the floor twisties are something else.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
