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...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
