Well I think that it all comes down to MONEY at the end of the day. I explain. When we start biking we buy er 1 motorbike and it must be all things to all men. So my first road bike was a Suzuki GT185 2 stroke and I thought that it was soooooo fast hehe. Then I started to earn some dosh so I went to an RD400 (mmmmmmm) and then a CB750 and started to discover a love of touring and France and the Bol D'Or and things.
Now I am older so I have 7 bikes so one or two for every need.
My beloved XT660X is a wonderful jack of all trades and if I had only one bike I think that I would choose her.
