After owning this bike for 5 years and 70,000km now I believe its the most under rated adventure bike on the market, I've ridden this bike from the mountains to the desert to the twisty,s of the highways its so stable on and off road, all you have to do is trust it, its a very hard bike to knock off line that's where its weight works in its favor. I take this bike where only 690s travel sometimes , at the start of the ride there is plenty of looks and quiet sniggering between other riders but after the first day its nothing but amazement from them , its ground clearance is a little low but as long as your aware of that you can avoid any problems , the only negative thing I can really say about this bike is the aerodynamics, even with the best helmet the wind noise is unbearable , that aside though this bike is the best value for money out there , you get a quality built bike for a very reasonable price when compared to the other adv bikes, I just hope the T7 doesn't mean the end of this great bike.
