Anybody remember the two Ronnies:
(Explains the L.O.)
Based in Ireland, got an 800DE mainly for commuting, tried the RE but preferred the overall 'feel' of the DE but it was close.
Love the 800DE, for the last 20 years my 'modern' bikes have been sports tourers, R1100RT, ST1100, ST1300, FJR1300 and a stint with a R1100GS when they first came out.
The 800DE is so easy to ride, in traffic it's great, lots of low down grunt to get to the top of the queue
First road bike I've had with a quick shifter & I REALLY like it, especially when making progress from a set of lights
