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.

Tango Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
