After many years of driving around on my trusty suzuki volty I am upgrading to a larger bike.
I have decided to go for a bmw650 but still deciding between a GS or Dakar model.
95% of the use would be for my commute . I would love to give it a go on the odd day away and do adventure/offroading. I am watching 2 bikes at the moment, both are 2000 models, one is a GS model, perfect for road. The other a dakar model, set up with knobblies, perfect for offroad.
No matter which one i get, i thought of getting another set up of wheels & tyres to do either.
Am i thinking way too complicated here and just forget about wanting to do this? I cannot afford to buy one for the road, and an old cheap one for the odd bash around.
Your thoughts please ?
