Endemic, you have a very cool series of pictures. They would make a nice slide show. :)

I ride dual-sport bike :wave:

cafe bike? I don't think any of us has one but I surely would like to own one just to commute around in NYC. There are dozens of them here.

daulsports are pretty fun. i just hate the suspension/gear ratios in traffic.

you should try building one, its pretty easy and cheap. build up from a CB or something.

that's why I adjusted it for city setting. That's the beaut about my bike. easily adjustable for any scenarios. My bike's perfect for NYC cuz it can eat any nasty potholes here. For other bikes - it will give you a jolt bad enough for you to think if you should see a chiropractor or not :lol:

I would like to but I live at condo so it's hard to do that without a private garage.

well that figures, perfect for the street.

both street and offroad :cool2:

KTM EXC530? It should be able to handle it just fine. He can simply change gear ratio for it and get extra torque for city setting.

lol. I definitely can't ride a larger bike because I'm relatively a small person :lol: but there are some smaller sport touring bikes out there that is suitable for my size such as Honda ST1300 or Kawasaki Concours or Yamaha FJR1300.

But.... I have my eyes dead-set on late 90's or early 2000's BMW R1200 or R1150. It's got nice airheads and it's simply reliable and easy to repair. It can eat the fuel of any quality. The reason why I want 1000cc is because I would love to go on long trips but riding at 65+ mph with 650cc is unpleasant. It vibrates too much. I wouldn't mind 800cc. My hands and feet get kinda numb and I get tingling sensation for probably a good 30 min after long riding on my bike.

Do you have running boards and throttle rocker or cruise control? They can help reduce the numbness. I've noticed a difference since I got my running boards and throttle rocker.
