yep .. I agree it is a good combination, crofty.

I tried the `one bike do it all` thing. .and an old TTR600 gave me a lot of grief in trying to get it to run properly.
NC750/CRF250L combo has worked really well,
but I am now wanting bigger road power, and smaller performance bike for trails??

my bank manager is rewsisting any change to my already over-stretched finances .. so am quite happy to keep the very-usable NC, and amend the CRF slightly, with tyres and gearing ratios

for me .. I choose a desired bike, get used to its performance, then want to `improve` ,, or change focus, … .. tho often its because the original bike has broken.

I spend ages wondering 'which bike ' then hang on to them for decades...

I really should replace my 950 Adventure...but what with?

It's probably worth £3k...I could probably chick in another £2k....what would £5k buy me?

Maybe a GS800 vertical twin. Would it be any better than the 950 at anything...except fuel economy?

Freudian typo there perhaps

Indeed
