you need a lightweight enduro type with knobblies 👌

Apart from a CRF300L they don't exist......unless you look at a hardcore offroader.

That would be no good to me!

so when will be the change over ?

What change over? There's nothing out there that's a better fit at the moment than the Beemer.

If my needs change.....like if I'm doing longer journeys for example.....then something else may be a better fit.

CB500X? Although that will probably not offer any improvements over what you've already got, Pete. Some reviewers are saying that the differences they've made to the 2022 model have improved it, but I'd need convincing of that. As I've said before,  you could find it a bit top-heavy.

That’s why everyone calls you the forum puff.

I like them as you know.....and double disc with USD forks is a good upgrade......but I'm not sure if it would give me anything different to the Beemer.

That's why i rebuilt the 650 instead of getting rid of it there's just nothing new i can see out there to replace it other than the Mash 650 :classic_laugh:

Got to be serviced and valve checked every 3 thousand miles or something.

Its the same engine as my 650 2000 mile service on that but its just under 2L of oil and takes minutes to do so no big deal valves only need adjusting when they run out of oil :classic_laugh:

They've modernised it though surely?

Triumph Tiger 800? A bit more oomph than your bike. 

Are you looking at buying new or secondhand?

No......don't want a Brit bike Bob!

And it'll be secondhand......a year or two old ideally with some accessories.
