Road based tourer with good suspension
Hi,
I already have a 650 Dakar for bigger trips with off-road sections, but am thinking that for around Europe and Eastern Europe, I could do with something with a bit more power and more fun on the twisties.
I think that a good suspension is still very important, which probably rules out the Pan European type and the VFR's.
I'd also like something that I can have a go at servicing myself on the road. Not really up for a Harley/cruiser!
It looks like the choice then goes to BMW 1200 GS, Tiger (955 or 1050), Yamaha TDM 900, Ducati Multistrada or Suzuki V-Strom.
Are there any others that I should look at?
I like the idea of the triple engine but am not sure about how easy maintenance is.
What are peoples' thoughts?
Charles
