I've seen many reviews that while flattering are less than enthusiastic. That's all you need to see. I've written many letters of recommendations for students that are pretty good on the face of it, but if you're paying attention there are plenty of warning signs embedded in it.Ummm...Ride???
They get paid to like it. Seriously. One of the motorcycle magazines had one of their editors review a bike and he gave an honest opinion, that wasn't too flattering. He was fired.
Plus a truck and trailer to get one of 'em to/from the off road.... Life requires a 3 bike minimum.:tongue:
Well, sure. As I said, you can do most things with most bikes, but you won't be happy doing some of them. Even the porcine NT will do a dirt road. Heck, even a scooter will do dirt road. Back in the day, John Penton would ride his BMW from Ohio to Florida, put knobbies on it, ride (and usually win) an enduro, then ride it back home. What'sizname from Ontario rode his old Eldorado over to Labrador and did the TransLab on it. Some nut did the TransLab on his scooter. Yer a geezer, so you appreciate that stuff. But this is the modern age, with more focussed equipment. Jim needs a Tiger. I'm trying to help him out here. You shouldn't discourage him just cuz you can get by with a no-generatin' Italian garden implement! We need to stick with our brothers, here!I can get by with one
Will do a dirt road. Good in twisties and good at high speed highway.
Don't ride in real dirt.
Nothin' wrong with that!Plus a truck and trailer to get one of 'em to/from the off road.

You should try living up here. I'm more than jealouser than you.they are probably still riding more than I am so I'm nothing but jealous.
A taller windshield and a custom seat. The same thing most people do on an NT.See what the owners have to do to make the bike livable and especially if they want to "tour" on it.
