-> I'm still new in the bike game. And I currently don't own a bike at the moment, but I've test ridden many bikes. Here it goes:
-> The BMW S1000XR is pretty close to perfect for me as it is my current dream bike, but I'd add onto something to make it my ideal bike:
- Modular body & chassis configuration using the same engine (can be switched from ADV/Dual Sport/Super Moto/Naked/Standard/Sport Tourer or Sport/Standard/Sport Bike/Scrambler or ADV/Sport Tourer/Cruiser/Scrambler)
- Analog Tach & Digital Speedo w/ Gear & Fuel Indicator (as it SHOULD be!)
- Gas mileage of typical 50cc scooter (like 80+mpg realistically).
- Integrated tank-area compartment (like the Honda NC700/750X).
- Gas tank similar to the BMW GS series.
- Reliability of a Suzuki V Strom 650/1000.
- Switchable wheel size option.
- Weight of a Yamaha WR250R.
- Heated/cooled seats & grips.
- Dampening/bushing from the Kawasaki Versys 650 (been having vibration issues on the XR).
- Parts & accessories availability of a KLR 650.
- Won't get lambasted by Harley people.
- Priced like USD$5,500.
- 5 Year/unlimited mile warranty worldwide!
