Quote from motorcycle-usa.com : "A small-bore Tenere-style adventure touring bike to go head-to-head with the Triumph Tiger and BMW F800GS would be a trendy move." Not to mention Suzuki's WeeStrom...
Wouldn't mind giving up some of my F650GS's offroad-ability in favor of more power and better touring manners 2-up with some luggage. I've sat on the 1200GS and it's just too big for my taste, I still wonder how could Charlie and Ewan resist the urge to set theirs on fire after picking them up for the millionth time!
