I think that's more bike than I want at this time. Certainly more bike than I need.
I'd be thrilled with a 400cc dual sport that has electric start.

A price of $13,000 is a lot of money for a motorcycle.

I agree, that is a lot of money to pay for a motorcycle.

that's more than I've paid for just about every car I've ever owned. (only once have I bought a new car, and immediately went back to buying used)

They are in the dealers now....
the local shop had 2 white ones sitting out front when I drove passed on on my way home from work... go in later 2day have a look at them... Being a Yamaha fan I have been keeping a eye out for a Super Tenere 750 twin.. Not meany were sold so they don't come up often used... .

I don't see them often in my area, either. Nor do I see the DR750's.
