When I replaced my Mk1 850 a few years back the only bike I could think of to replace it was a 900 
 Better long distance bikes but not as good on really twisty backroads.
Â
I really don't know what I'd go for if I was buying now. The Multistrada 950(?) looks nice, and I like the look of a few KTMs but they're not going to match the TDM's reliability or ease of maintenance. Tiger 800, F800GS, Tracer, Africa Twin... I think I'd have to a lot of test rides.

As for yeast, yes but it took a 30km cycle ride on Friday to get it. Just pulled a fresh loaf out of the oven. :badgerrock:
