Recently met a rider on a new Himalayan. Looked like a bike that could be fun on the back roads and secondary highways and a bike that would not be hard to maintain(old school design). Anyone out there riding one? kenray in katy
I'm glad they are! These are so good at so many things. Like the SUV fad that took over the auto industry - very comfortable, good on the highway, can do dirt (to varying degrees), and good looks to boot.It seems like everyone and their mother is trying to make an "adventure" bike these days.

Not a bad thing, especially of they trend towards lighter weight and shorter seat heights. Competition is good for us consumers.It seems like everyone and their mother is trying to make an "adventure" bike these days.
I agree. I think we need more options like the tenere 700 that's coming out. But the short inseam folks need light weight bikes too.I just looked at more videos and pics and now I cant wait to go sit on one.

On for sure. I got a little offended when the BMW guy guestimated my inseam to be only 27". It's 28 and a half, sir.I agree. I think we need more options like the tenere 700 that's coming out. But the short inseam folks need light weight bikes too.
Honda needs to do a crf500 rallye

I was at the Triumph/BMW/Ducati dealer in Plano a week or two ago and they had 2, not sure if that's where you went or not (was thinking you were around DFW from prior posts, but not sure).I stopped by the Motorcycle shop yesterday but they had just sold the one they had. Going to have to wait a couple weeks for the next shipment to come in. The guy said they're selling fast. While I was there a guy called and asked if they had any. Seems word is getting out about them.
Ah ok, yeah I know the place you're talking about. Use to go by there when I lived up in DFW. These days I'm in San Antonio. Place I went to was a tiny place called The Motorcycle Shop on the east side of town. Also it would be nice if there was a closer Ducati dealer than Austin, I'd like to see the Sixty2 as well.I was at the Triumph/BMW/Ducati dealer in Plano a week or two ago and they had 2, not sure if that's where you went or not (was thinking you were around DFW from prior posts, but not sure).
