Dissapointed they do not have all the different types of bike starting up and having a wazz on the throttle for a minute or so out the back anymore. Always pulled a crowd hearing the weird and wonderful or just plain loud. Classics, customs, road-race, speedway, drag bikes. Loved it.

Have had a Crosstourer DCT for 7yr. Had considered Super10 and initially the other two. (GS's and KTM's also) Super10 lost because it needed a ton of stuff/money/fixes chucked at it to make it half-way decent and is a fkn mess. Was way overpriced too. Wanted comfy fast, easy, reliable, well built 2-...

Really enjoyed it. Especially when the fella was needing to get another bike to ride in some obscure place and I was expecting them to pull out a Yongshendu 125cc or summit.....

Incredible roads and scenery and was empty at the beginning of July. Although met another Scots couple in one...
