Good review. I actually demoed a Tiger. Smoothest motor and throttle ever. Just entirely too tall a bike for me.

Good luck with the search

I don't really like the weestrom all that much. I have rode one of those awhile back.

Me neither, I had a lot of fun on a dirt ride (wasn't a really hard single track trail, just beginner stuff) I went on. So I been looking for a dual sport/adv tourer ever since.

aprilia motors on the motards are just way too unreliable. If I get a GS I will have one bike that will require a lot of maintenance, I want something that will be rock solid and the DRZ is as much as you can ask for in the motard area.

Tis a sad sad day, I never would have thought ud want anything else...no plans on keeper the cbaaar for a tracker?

But i understand the reasoning to spend the time with A on the back, is she seriously considering learning to ride if you get one of these beasts?

And I have zero opinion on which to get, I am still in gsxr love...cant imagine owning a dual yet...altho i am going to play with a 4wheeler tonite, I may start changing my mind...
