Wow, my dream bike! My only problem is 16 grand. As a teenager, I dreamed of having a Porsche 911, but due to my financial state, I had to settle with my old Dodge. It seems that the years haven't changed that fact. I can't afford the BMW, so I'll just have be creative with my old dirt bike and make it an adventure/tourer. And I have! I took my '83 Yamaha XT 600 and put a 30 liter tank on it (Tenere), home made some hard bags (I'm in Senegal, W. Africa at the moment so it was easy to get some local guys to weld it up), invent a way to attach them to the bike with out pushing into the exhaust and oil resevoir, and behold... Adventure/Touring on a shoe string! It's not a KTM or a BMW, but it works. I must say though, that it sure is nice to read about the real thing and dream! Thanks MO!
