    it is fit for my purpose...single and 2 up touring and and longer endurance rides...but you are right, for an adventure bike a DR400 would be about right for me

    nothing wrong with 6v,
    that 12v wouldn't fix


    O/T
    NordieBoy, ever thought about those 6v billion candlepower spotting lights they sell in places like supercheap? More the bulbs and lens that the whole thing

    And here is me, puckering my sphincter on fresh metal roads with a bike worth about the same as your indicator lenses.

    Most excellent.

    The TDM is a most respectable bike on all roads....heaps of low down torque, great for adventure.

    Tis so, constantly surprise's with it's ability. I used to ride on snow & ice without a care but not now. My talent has diminished & my fear has grown. Great to see the Ducati doing what it says on the packet.
