What Would You Buy Instead? (Hypothetical Scenario)

[marko67]

The only bike on my radar is a T7. I kinda view it as the dirty version of a TDM I wanted to create until I realised that the bike would get heavier, not lighter.

 

Similar engine characteristics, it's a Yamaha, less fear and more fun on our gravel roads and high country passes. Probably still quite agile in the tarmac twisties, too.

 

Powerful bikes are an exercise in frustration where I live, most of the B roads are like west coast Scottish peninsula roads and have gravel "shortcuts" to connect them.

 

A Ducati scrambler catches my eye, love the look of it. But it's a Ducati.
