I'll still keep the FX650, but when I have tried a 883 I had no confidence in the front and actually went faster on my DR650! And I really like the high postition of the trailies, esp when "filtering" in town and looking over the hedges here in Suffolk.

I have thought of a buell, but there are lots of stories of electrical problems, like early Italian kit. Maybe I have become too used to a bike "just" starting when I wanted it to. I even had to bump start the DR650 a few times - use second gear!!

Kwak 250 Scorpion in Silver

Yamahe FS1E-DX
Yamaha RD 250-DX
Triumph Tiger 750 (TR7RV)
Honda CB 250 RS
Honda CB 200 Twin
Homda CJ 250 T

Suzuki PE 175 Enduro
Yamaha RD 350 x2
Kawasaki Z1100 J
