I must say the age of the bike was/is a concern for me,There's a few places over here that still do aftermarket parts for them,As ive just found out. But price wise im not sure it's worth putting that kind of money into an older bike. Seeing as it'll be my first touring type bike(Sports bike for the past 5 years or so) im sure id like to try a few out before settling into anything longterm.
My first instinct was the xtz tenere, And from what ive read on here and other boards they seem to have a decent rep,Like you say though there's always acceptions to that rule.And horses for courses and all that.
I must admit though the DR does look the dogs dangly's, Which is probably which drew me to it in the first place,For a bike thats comming on 20 years old.It seems to still look semi modern.
I suppose my next step would be to view/test ride each bike and see whats what.
Thanks for the reply Nigel.
Keep em comming guys Im still undecided and really could do with views from as many peeps as possible.
Thanks again.
Regards. Darren.
