Welcome Ricalnic! Lot's of Canadian's have some Scottish heritage, so I feel like we're family! My mothers family are Grants :) Would love to visit there someday - it looks incredibly beautiful!

These guys give a very honest and entertaining review of the Suzuki DR650. A series of video's which start with a stock bike. I was thoroughly entertained, these guys have a great sense of humor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58vB-5urcJI

Welcome back! If looking for an SV650, you should also consider the Yamaha FZ6R, Kawasaki Ninja 650 and maybe Honda CBR650F (likely more expensive then the others, and a newer bike so less parts, etc). Without knowing the kind of riding you like doing, I'd actually go with a Suzuki V-Strom 650...

I like this guy! :occasion9:

I expected more from you...

You win at life! :)

Don't leave us now Joe! It's a long road to the finish line and we'll need your help getting there!!!

Are we there yet?

That is one crazy monkey!

Thanks again for everyone's input, much respect. Bought a trailer hitch assembly (hitch/receiver/wiring harness) today for the Civic, should arrive Tuesday. Will check-out the Royal Distributing trailer Ash linked earlier, and will also look at enclosed ones. MacDoc provided some good reasons...

You know what guys – I think this thread is actually helpingme! So thank you all for your continuedreplies. I think I’m able to reallyidentify the root of my problem/indecision – comfort. So I know what I like to ride – twisty tarmac roads, andreally rural backroads and fire routes. All the...

Did they mention how much the helmet weighs? How does it perform in rain? As the wind pushes all the water towards the back of the helmet, I hope it doesn't channel into the helmet where it separates.

Thanks for the continued replies. Really appreciated and I'm reading them all, considering everything everyone says. You all my have helped me out. As of this morning, I think I should go the two bike route, but not right away. Get the small dual sport, and keep saving for another year or...

Another happy two-bike owner. Seems the majority feel this way - but everyone sounds happy regardless. Can I come over for the weekend and play with you on your bikes?! (only half joking!)

Nice avatar! It's no wonder where your recommendation comes from. I like the S10 because of it`s proven platform and shaft drive. Maybe we`ll save the rest of that conversation for my next thread "Part 2 - What bike to buy and why" :)

Great reply, thank you. I appreciate you sharing your personal experience and expertise. Ganaraska is very close to me, so some real offroad is available if I desire. If I go the two bike route, maybe I'll downsize the dual sport to a 250 or 400.

This is exactly how I feel 2 out of every 3 days. I get myself convinced this is the way to go, then find some other reason to consider the two smaller bikes. It wasn't mentioned in the OP, but the Super Tenere would also allow 2-up riding for real distance, which I wouldn't want to do on a DR...

Thanks for the replies guys! You’ve gone through the same sort of dilemma and are happy with the two bike approach! Although it sounds like two bikes maybe isn’t even enough for Supernam!

LOL - I can't link pictures at work. I wanted to have fun with this one! :) I'll mark you down for a #2 with cheese.

Back roads would be vehicle accessible roads. I wouldn't have the offroad confidence to take a S10 truly offroad. You bring up a good point about the ride home. I'm always exhausted and suffer during this portion. I think you're suggesting the Tenere, as it does everything I am looking for -...
