I saw someone out test riding one the other day.
F#ck Ugly!
If you want a low practical, fun adventure bike, but a Himalayan. The Mrs isn't quite ready to give up the GSX, but may get one as well.
I'm used to big fat touque laden monstrosities and the Varadero ain't no oil painting but that sir will never be an item I wish to put in my garage.
Plus I hate gimmicks and electronic gadgets- just more to distract you and remove you from the riding experience - Had a bike with ABS - didn't like it - sold it.
The ride height lowering thing is a great idea, until being a Harley it's not a matter of IF it stops working, more WHEN and you and all your pillion are trapped under 250kg of Chinese Lard masquerading as American Muscle.
PS I don't care about you shout ones. I haven't yet found a bike too tall for me
