Budget is a good question...if i can find a good one here it is the best option , but they dont come up too often..if i have to travel i would need to check the details of each jeep because as well as travel/ferries etc we also have a vehicle registration tax here and its based on year millage spec etc so the price changes quite a bit.also the euro/sterling rate can make a difference so for traveling i guess £4000 -£5000 max

Nice bike mate, I've got a GSX1300RK4
my walky is a big comfy rocket ship. Not sure what the weight limit is now with the springs but at some point I will find out as it's just a matter of time before I overload it.
If you google 'overloaded L200' you'll see one of my many efforts at overloading. Think it's the first image , the one with a boat sticking out the back

Yeah the torque is unreal, cant count the amount of times I try and change up only to find I'm already in top. I test rode a blade and a 1000 when I was looking for my bike and it looked like I was sat on a mini moto as I'm not the smallest of chaps. the 'sports tourer' was much more my size
