funny who that works... started for me when I bought the troublestrada. Fell in love with the more comfortable riding position, still had plenty of power and sportiness.

Now, ADV road beast mode with the Aprilia Caponord Rally. It's definitely no sportbike or sport-tourer, but has more than enough to get going, and all the ugly so the other ADV riders don't mind it either. Also comfy enough to put 600 - 700 miles on it in a day without being crippled the next.
