Greetings from Sonoma County, CA.
Been riding a KTM 950 for a while, had a couple other bikes before that.
I've been fighting with the carbs on my bike for about 8 months trying to get it to run right with my current mods. My wife, who is an amazing woman, said those words many of us dream of hearing: "Honey, you should just buy a new bike." Last night she commented, "You know you're going to keep the KTM so your boys can go on rides with you. You just need to figure out how to fit both bikes in the garage." Yeah, she's a keeper!!
For me, it comes down to the 890 Adv R or the Norden. Based on reviews and videos, I'm leaning towards the Norden as I'm not interesting in bouncing off the rocks on goat trails in the Sierras. Forest roads, singletrack and the like are more my speed. I'm thinking specifically the Expedition, assuming there's some level of availability in the future. Haven't yet, but will probably wind up getting on the waiting list for one after the 1st of the year.
Anyway, there we go.
