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.
