Hi everyone. Nev from Melbourne Australia here. I am picking up a brand new '14 XT1200ZE later this week. I am trading in a '12 Vstrom 1000. I'm buying the Super Ten primarily as a long distance highway bike, but I do like to venture off onto the dirt highways. I also like the ergonomics of the big Adventure tourers. Previous bikes I've owned in this category have been DL1000 vstrom X 2 and a Buell Ulysses. I have also travelled to the USA a couple of times and spend a few weeks each time touring around there, 4500 miles on a R1200GS and 6400 miles on an F700GS. Coming home and getting back on the Vstrom was my primary motivation to get something better and here I am.
I also have a Husqvarna TR650 Terra (650 single) which is my bike for any real dirt road adventure riding I want to do.
I like just getting on the bike and riding all day, and as often as time and money permits I will head off for a 3-4000km long weekend ride, so the ZE model with the cruise control, and electronically adjustable suspension quite adequately fitted the job description quite nicely, not to mention the effortless mile munching that comes free with every 1000cc+ bike. Looking forward to reading through all the farkling threads in this forum. So far the quick look I've had seems to reveal a lot of good contributions from members
