Got a call from Cliff at RPM Cycles in Farmer's Branch which is just next to the Honda / Suzuki dealer off I-35.
He knew I was looking at the 800 XC but wanted to see one in person, he had a dealer trade and got a white one, if anyone wants it, they can go get it as it will be a 3-week wait if you order it. Many others are waiting for the Black or Orange paint scheme but the white actually looks pretty nice.
We set the seat on the lowest setting and I had sneakers on and was tip-toeing it, so it felt just a hair taller than the Super Tenere but it was very cushy...
The price is still more then the Tenere so it's hard to wrap your mind around spending a little more for less - on paper - for a bike even though you can argue lighter and smaller should equal more value in the end.. If they were just a couple K cheaper.. might have had to get this one. But, the value you get from the PDP program is really showing when you look at the other bikes you can get in or near the same class.
Anyway, if you are in the area and you want this one, it won't be there long.
