Buzz Won't Like It
But I do! I really hope Honda has either a VFR or one of these at Daytona this year, I haven't ridden their 1200 V-4, and I'd like to. Not interested in the Dual-Clutch, but this ADV model with the same drivetrain looks very interesting.

So, it looks like Adventure Tourers are going to be pushing 600lbs now. Gotta love it.

Compare the Specs
BMW is still the superior machine. Weight is still an issue with the other manufacturers.

The new Explorer 1200 looks really good; 950 watt power supply (and self-regulated too, no burning itself out) for heated gear etc. Come standard with cruise control and T/C. Triumph is really on their game. Triumph Explorer - Technical Benefits

A V4 for an Adventure Tourer seems a little complex. You won't be doing the Dakar rally with this.
And I've seen your Barbie car Kenneth. You're not as macho as you think.

My money's on the 1215 Tiger Explorer to replace my GS when the time comes, I'd personally have a hard time going back to a porker after riding the reletively light GS, 500lbs or below works best. Over that and you need a chain fall and some lifting straps in your tool bag just to pick the SOB up.
