Nice! Those are very capable bikes as I'm sure you'll find out.

It does lack the bottom power of the big Dero's V twin, have to reff it more. But on ergonomics: fits like a glove!

Of course.
It´s because it´s only a BMUU  VCIF_a_008.

Have fun with your new toy.

oh, I'm shocked TP.... :o a BMUU... ;D

I looked seriously at one of these but couldn't get the deal on it I wanted.  Besides, I wanted a drive shaft bike (that's what I keep telling myself  8) )

Have fun it, two of my firends have recently bought these and they really rate them.  Cheers from downunder...

Ah yes TP.  Kind of quiet over there at present.

I haven't got out on my CT for a few weeks either, must remedy that this weekend.

In February I pick up a DL1000 to borrow for several months to test ride, although I may ask the NZ distributor to give me their DL650X instead.  Looking forward to the experience... 8)

If the Ms Blacksmith also would drive her own bike I certainly also would buy 2 800 GS. I nice bike and more than the Varadero right for off road riding.
But I Always thought you would change also to the Yam S10.
Have fun my friend, I follow your blog on ANWBMOTOR!
