I've been toying with one of these a while now. However having dug around it appears they are fraught with a few issues. One of which is corrosion to the spokes due to them not being ‘double dipped’. Having looked at one the other day I was surprised at how cheap some of the castings appear to be finished too. So having nosed about I’m not sure what to go for. Triumph do not float my boat (sorry John!). Ulysses ? Is not for me nor is a GS or a Multi strada. Any one tried or used anything else? Had a Varadero a while but found it heavy, fun but top heavy with a full tank. Transalp is a sows ear in my view and gutless.
