Thanks, A12. Helped a lot.

I stopped at a Honda, Yammie, KTM dealership this afternoon and the only "Adventure" bike they had on the floor was a KTM 390 Adventure. Single cylinder 4-stroke. No comparison when compared to those big-boy bikes, but it looked fun anyway. Plus I could put my feet flat on the floor, but just barely. Drive by wire & ABS - woooo.

At $6,700 MSRP, I had to laugh. Think I paid around $3,600 for my '79 Yamaha 1100 Special forty two years ago.

If they were to drop the price a couple of grand, I might consider it. But that ain't gonna happen so I won't.
