I see the new BMW F 450 GS is to be launched this week. If the bike they actually manufacture is similar to this concept (i.e. lightweight & has an engine with some poke), I'm sure it'll sell well. I'm not a fan of big heavy off-road bikes, but I really like this concept bike! https://www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/articles/bmw-concept-f-450-gs.html
Love the look of that, 160-170kg's and 50 bhp's is perfect for the green lining I do in winter when the roads are nasty
sounds like you need a CRF.. nice size. probably the CC i am moving towards. but a bit too much pingpow in the couloir scheme. me? overcritical?
Yup, I had a CRF250 too. It was a very dependable and sturdy bike, but the engine's power delivery was flat and when factoring in the bikes significant weight, the overall package was pretty dull & dumpy. Note: ...'Dull & Dumpy'...hmmm... that would be a good way to describe some of the visitors we're expecting over the Christmas period. Oh joy!
Hopefully they buy good presents, don't drink too much, dislike purple Quality Street and like washing dishes! Note 170kgs is not light. Does that include petrol?
I remember a friend of mine saying that when his relatives visit at Christmas... "All they do is drink, eat & shit!"
