I suppose this is the "Rock and Hard place" the Manfrs find themselves between. You can Either make a bike that works pretty well most places Or you can go for the showroom appeal, instant charm style and make it a quick twisty and road blaster knowing that that's all most people will do OR be able to test ride with. I think that is why some bikes become classics and some don't.Brntrt said:With the limitations of the Tiger after a couple of weeks and a couple thousand miles I was saying to myself "ok what twisty is That next". My KLR never ever gave me that thought. It was always "where to next?". I believe the S10 will fill the same role as my KLR. Point it in a general direction and ride, regardless of the road surface.
Some just get appreciated more over time and it takes time for that to happen. Old skool BMW and Ducatis seemed to be like this.
