They were talking about the engine on another site and wanting it in a sport bike. As it is, it makes comparable power to the XB1200. |

I'm hoping there will be a comparable American alternative by the time my Uly wears out. |

with that sticker price a triumph tiger may be a better option though. Hell even that Multistrada would work |

Both excellent choices. However, my relationship with my Uly (while still non-sexual) is really starting to blossom into a love like no other. |

It appears to be too much GS1200 and not enough Motard for me poisonally. The reason I don't like the Tiger much is all the bodywork and windcreen wrecks it. |

All that extra bodywork comes off the first time you wreck it. No problem. |

They are on crack at that price tag. |

Yeah - if I had to replace the Uly tomorrow it would be with a scratched up tiger, 'tard it and fix the suspension. Stunning motor. |
