From my bro's bike, the signal light stalks don't last. He's using aftermarket front and rear signal lights. Engine no issues though. I do like that genre of bikes too.

Lol. Its fake grass. Its my office.

And yet, they still can't find the place. Go figure. I have even bigger letters on my balcony. I guess they don't look up.

You are exactly in the same position as I am.

Been looking at the 650GT for over 3 years now, ever since they brought it in..... Even before I got my Dominar. Still can't bring myself to buy it.

I might be more tempted if they throw the 700CLX engine in and add cruise control. Since they already announced the updated 700MT

Looks like the vote is still for naked bikes. Even with sport bikes and sport tourers added, still cannot match the numbers for naked bikes...I guess I will do another poll (and add in retros) in a few months just to see the trend by numbers. I thought the ADV fan base would be higher though with so many GS and GSA running around. Thanks all for participating.

ADVs are indeed popular. But for those that actually do go off road, we know better to go with something lighter and lower. Besides there is a significant ADV tax on the bikes.

Those big GSs are mainly used as highway mile munchers, and great in that role. Or perhaps the big bike ADV demographics are different from the ones in this forum, both in size of our wallets and size of our stature. I for one can't see myself trying to muscle a tall 260kg, 150k bike on the soft stuff.....

Not to throw dirt on the GS. it's an immensely capable bike. But not for me. I neither got the skill nor size to handle a machine of that size.

It'll do 155. Buts that's not saying much. Definitely needs a rear sprocket downsize. I'm running 3T down. Top speed now is about 165 without my panniers.

Good luck on the CBR hunt.
