Hi Folks,
My 2019 Suzuki DL250 becomes a pain in the back side after 30 mins of travel - Two up. Perhaps I'm geting too old? Shocked

Or perhaps I need another bike capable of atleast a few hours on the road? Any suggestions?

BMW GS1200R/GS1250R.

Unless you think that a bike's looks are important to you.

I come from a succession of sportstourers and now couldn't be happier with my Suzuki V Strom 1050XT. I find that I'm a good 10-20% faster than my VFR1200F without even trying.

All the tech you could want (cornering ABS, cruise etc), good amount of power, excellent range/economy(circa 250 miles, 55mpg +), bombproof reliable, handles very well and extremely comfortable.

We are currently making regular stops with the DL250. This is making long journeys more pleasant now. Thumbs Up
