My answer? I just bought the best two up touring bike made to date! The mighty Varadero! I agree with the Tiger complaint, I found mine brilliant one up but two up, even with the shock preload full up and the damping screwd up, it was like a bouncy castle! The Varadero's Showa suspension is leaps an...

I ran a 955i Tiger for a couple of yrs, did the Stella with it twice, a cracking bike, sound to die for and handling was sweet! I would have replaced it with the 1050 if it wasn't so road biased and expensive! I reckoned the 1050 was a glorified Bandit on stilts and straying so far from the adventur...

A replacement for my Varadero from Honda! Honda are leaps and bounds behind most other bike manufacturers on the adventure bike scene. The biggest mistake made since KTM refused Ewan and Charlie their bikes was Honda not replacing the Africa twin! Come on Honda, amaze me,,,, before something else ca...
