Hello to forum folks. I'm 40 years old Finnish man who got back into motorcycling about 2 years ago (midlife crisis I think).
I had a RD125 about 23 years ago. I didn't ride it very much before I sold it. Then I did not ride any kind of motorcycle in 20+ years as I got into old VW's and had several old Bugs etc. during the years. For some reason I got bored with cars, so I had an idea of buying a motorcycle again. I had my eyes on TDM's, but also other type of bikes. So eventually I bought XJR 1200 for my first bike. It was beautiful and easier to ride than I thought. I owned it 1,5 years and I rode it 10000 km's. I noticed I had recently grown an interest to bike touring. I have plans and permit from my wife to go to a longer trip next summer. Ofcourse I would do it with my motorcycle.
 
Week ago I went to a dealer who had nice looking 2005 TDM 900 for sale. And I left my dear XJR there and rode home with TDM. 
TDM feels so different, mostly in a good way. Power and torque are obviously weaker than XJR. TDM feels so light and nimble, and much easier to handle. I feel more confident riding with TDM. And Teddy has panniers and it's capable to do gravel roads better. Fuel consumption is remarkably smaller. I'm very happy with the switch, alhough XJR is a nice bike and I had a lot of comments how good looking it was. I doubt that TDM is not getting that kind of attention, but that's not the reason to choose a bike for me.
 
That's mine! Smile TDM 900 ABS 2005, about 51000 km's on clock.
