Ideally, I wanted an in-line 4, a comfortable and upright seating position with reasonable weather protection and around 220-230kg.
The Versys 1000 was the closest but not really a fan of the 'adventure style' for a road bike and it was tall and just north of 250kg. A very nice bike though, just not what I was happy to settle for. The Beemer is a bit lumpy at low revs and gearbox is clunky in the first 3 gears but after that, really lovely. Mines only done 27000 so I'm guessing the gearbox may get better with more k's on it. Time will tell.
