I'm getting a trailer for the drone on for hours phase.
Street, yes. I would like something that will handle dirt roads and a little more. I think the BMW GS is the closest. Lots of $$ though.Doesn't your ST1300 do that now?
Well said Jim!Nice bike but I also want shaft drive. I'd rather pay up front than $200+ for chain & sprockets every year (at my typical mileage). I'd also like to eliminate the possibility of the kind of chain failure my klr had, with over $1500 in damaged parts (not counting the actual chain or sprockets).
Cruise would be nice for the reasons others pointed out. The typical DL spends most of the time on the road anyway, might as well make it happier there.

The crosstourer is shaft driven,a chain drive is messy.also the single sided swing arm is very handy for tyre replacement. I think if I was going to pay out that kind of cash I'd take the crosstourer,but test rides needed on both.Nice bike but I also want shaft drive.

Yes just been reading up on them,600lbs roughly. new vstrom 1000 around 500lbs.the shaft drive and bigger engine I suppose adds the weight. Just seen there is an ex demo bike for sale about 100 miles from me so when I'm able I'll go see it and get a test ride.around ?2000 off the new price with 5k miles done.The Crosstourer is the heaviest ADV bike available
No cruise!lol It does come with some nice options on it though.So you guys that must have a v-twin & shaft drive will be getting a Guzzi Stelvio then?

$16,000.....w/ABS, traction control, big tank.....
Oh wait.... No beak.
Enough said!I bet some guys could be handed a crip new $50 bil and give you a crock-eyed look wondering why it isn't a $100 bill ???
This continues to be my response to the new bike options out there. Plenty are really nice but there's just something about an ST (and a Versys), both set up the way I like, both long since paid for.Overall, it's ok. But I wouldn't chop my 11 yr old Pan 1300 in for one.
Except $14,790 Yamaha - $12,699 Suzuki = $2091 difference. Where are you coming up with $800?Nice bike but seems like a steep price for a basic chain drive adventure bike. $800 less than the Super Tenere with shaft drive? Easy choice there.
