    That first one Ross posted looks nice but, sounds heavy and I don't know about the shaft drive on slippery stuff with the torque rotation and all.

    Diesel KLR or DR would be cool, LTSA prob don't have a classification so just tell them its a mobile generator, and it just happened to start moving while you were sitting on it
    Restarting a diesel after a river drowning could be fun too...
    The torque curve of a diesel would be ideal for adv riding though.

    From what I gather the performance of the diesel KLR is not far south of a standard one. What that says about either one i dunno.

    List of thngs the ultimate bike needs below

    60 ish lazy HP

    Two cyls.

    160kg ish

    Comfy seat

    4-500km range

    6 gears with a low first and an overdrive 6th.

    More dirt than street.

    proper subframe

    crashability

    Good parts backup.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Sounds just like a KLR with a Versys engine and some suspension work.
    Not sure what a comy seat is unless you mean one that makes you jizz
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    And let me know when it’s finished so I can try it our. You’ll probably need a crash test dummy (or dumby).

    I dunno why you're complimenting him. It's a boxer motor, so where the hell is the other half of the bike?

    Boxer bikes can't be that small surely?
