HI folks,
I am 64 years old and I am thinking I need to change from my R1200CL. There are some slow speed handling issue, especially two up that are hard to control.
I am looking at one of the Vstroms. I have a few questions. I do a lot of 2 up riding. Mostly short trips but would like to take longer trips. How do these bikes do two up? How is the slow speed stability?
At highway speeds how is the head buffeting. I had a Kawi 900 and it beat me to death above about 60 mph. I am not a crazy speed demon but want to be able to run interstate speeds.
How to the ABS brakes work. My BMW is linked and it makes it a bit tricky stopping two up. It seems the brakes want to grab a bit about the time I want to stop.
How about fuel economy? Thanks Bob
