I think all of that is rather accurate, minus the personal fitment parts which vary by person of course. Resale--yeah, I got my well-equipped 2016 with 11k miles on it for $1260! And the guy was so happy to finally have a buyer. I've seen them sit on CL for months. Light adventure is probably right also--I've barely tasted dirt. For me its primary purpose is to be a fun around town bike, and occasionally hit a light trail. I have a Jeep, so it's competing with that for off-road time. But I love this bike for just around town, and you can do a full normal grocery trip with the Tourfella luggage. I've never filled them (though the 35 pound dog food had to go on the back seat).

I'd rather have a BMW GS. I can't justify the costs right now. This got me back on two wheels for pretty much nothing.
