Looking at a couple of bikes. I miss two wheels for the street. (Ural isn't going anywhere) Bear 650 and Himalayan 450.
Feedback?
 
@TK4 seems to have an inside line on RE. Maybe he can chime in.

Why RE? You already have one bike with a tractor motor. It's fit for purpose but I'd want the second bike to be more different (maybe something like a T7 as you already had the big one).
 
When myself and three buddies (with lots of bikes and miles under their belts) went out to Erin to demo ride the REs last summer we were all impressed with the new 650 motor. Sorry @GreyGhost but this lump is no tractor motor.
The Himalayan has a cool ADV look. Whether it's just a "look" or the real deal I can't speak to.
 
Zack just did a daily rider episode for the 450.

I'm happy to be wrong. I havent ridden an RE. I've heard a few and wasn't impressed but they weren't being ridden in anger so that isn't a great test either.
