Not giving up my Ural Gear Up, but i miss being on two wheels. Lots of bikes filled the blanks. KLR looked like a good idea, but i already have a "tractor".T7 was also on the list, but i already had a Tenere.
I wanted a bike with character and when i saw the Bear Mulder replica,i was very drawn to it. (It's very pretty). And then the price. $9549! Really?
I only have 40km on it, and limited to 4k rpm. But this bike is special. Build quality, paint is exceptional. No nanny crap. Rear abs can be switched off. Phone charge port on the side of the headlight All led lighting and a fantastic tft dash. Gps runs from your phone in the top half of the big display. Switchgear is the best i have seen. All metal.
Showa suspension front and rear. YT reviews complain of an overly stiff rear spring rate. I found it great.
I'm 5'9" and just flatfooting.
Bench,scrambler style seat is comfy (only 40km). Nice wide bars and beautifully shaped levers.
Mirrors are clear at highway speeds.
Motor is a surprise. It pulls really strong with no vibration.(270°crank)
I'll spend more time on it after the Easter weekend is over.
