tntmo 887 Posted May 24, 2019 Interesting, but I liked the old DR Big single cylinder (which wasn’t offered in the US). The ADV market has grown a lot lately, does anyone think we’re at the saturation point? Every stop I made on the AlCan Highway last year looked like an ad for ADV bikes , Klim (XXL) and Just For Men Touch of Gray..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe the old '96 BMW 850R boxer motor. Yeh, let's do that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, I think we will be getting more mid (700-ish) and low (300-ish) displacement options. The older guys keep getting older and they have disposable income. They are having a harder and harder time picking up their loaded 1200 or even 700 sized bikes. I personally would be interested in a 300-400 CC version of the Super Tenere or African Twin (I am not old, BTW. Only 38). And, Mr. Gray Beard, the second sentenced I quoted was hilarious!

TrophyHunter 15 Posted May 28, 2019 Get a 2-5 year old DR650 with low mileage for $3500, toss on a 790 kit. Still mid-sized with a ton of aftermarket since the bikes been basically the same since '96. The builder of the 790 - Procycle - also built a one off stroker DR900, which a ridin' buddy in PHX has now. I'll hopefully get a short ride on it in Sept at the 1st DR Rally.
