PatrickWDixon Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Hi folks, I’m looking for a capable tourer/ADV for my A2 bike that I can get for around 3k, 4 at a push. Options currently consist of the TDM900, the old GS1150s and the Deuville. I’m quite a large chap so I’m attracted to the ADVs and feel good sitting on them. If anyone has suggestions for late 90s/early 2000s ADVs that are within restrictable power range that would be great. Cheers, Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 What about a F800GS? if you look around you can get those for around 4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Triumph tiger 800 could be a good shout. My mate had just upgraded his after doing 121,000 miles. Been all over Europe on it in great comfort with his girlfriend on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Interceptor 650. A2 legal, loves to tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesea Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I have a TDM 900, nice bike didn't realise they are A2 compatible. Good for all legal road speeds 2 up as well. Down side they are 2 cylinder in line and can bea little snatchy there is a fix. Which has transformed mine except when down to last bar on fuel guage. I have done half the length of the country on mine. Gets a healthy 50mpg round town on a run 70mpg. Yes I am thinking of selling but that's because my touring bike is the Trophy. The trophy rarely guess over 60mph so thinking of 125cc for round town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
