62litres of fuel capacity, amazing.

Be a bit top heavy with a full tank...

I bet it doesn't remain top heavy for long!

1986 FZ750 Ténéré (0U26) Dakar race bike.

75hp parallel twin squeezed into YZF frame. PeterHansel was an incredible rider and became a driver eventually.

94hp, 20 valve FZ750 engine.



Racer Jean-Claude Olivier did the original and convinced Yamaha to develop it.

It never did very well, weight, lacked grip on lose surfaces etc.  I still think it'd be a heap of fun and very different.

A lad I knew in the UK did a Triumph Tiger with the 4- cylinder 1200 Daytona engine. It got a lot of attention but he struggled a bit with it.

Just go fast = stability!

Rule 1 - don't drop it.
Rule 2 - see rule 1.

If we were to do the full lap of Australia I'd like a GSA 1250 with full fruit. I do like my RT for comfort etc. however dirt roads isn't it's favourite.

+1 on the Beemer.the 1300 looks quite the package.

Great bikes - but sooo ugly. Love the original GS. Had a talk with owner of one last season. Envy

i used to think so too, but they grow on you. I love my K1300GT, and the GS's have their own appeal.  The K 1300R and S are also pretty cool because they don't look like any other bikes out there, i think that's part of the appeal.

No one will ever convince me on BMW, cars or bikes. R90S only looker IMO.I dont mind the S1000, bloody quick,i do go for Razgat in WSBK.
