I believe there was a test of a Highland a few years back in TBM.
IMHO, the Outback falls into the BMW HP2/950 Super Enduro category.
All IMHO: this class of machine is a step closer to achieving the ideal adventure motorcycle. The problem seems to be that off tarmac capability is inversely proportional to long distance tarmac cruising capability (especially comfort). This class of machine has a nice twin cylinder motor (for the long distances on tarmac) coupled with a relative lack of weight (making them relatively easy to handle when the sealed road ends).
Should you buy it? Only you can answer that question.
