Age related this. I'd had a Kawasaki ER6F for 10 years and was a far better bike than I had expected, not 'fast' but 'quick', riding it no problem but having to man-handle it's weight in the garage etc was getting a bit much so buying something lighter was not an option. A mate of mine turned up at Dinkey's Dinah near Shrewsbury 3 years ago with a Beemer G310R which I didn't know they made which I tried for size then went to Rybrook in Wolverhampton where they had a pre-registered new one for sale for £3500 instead of £4500, and a 3-year warranty, at that price I couldn't say 'no'. They're made in India by FVS with what appears to be a Rotax engine and weigh 150-odd kg. It's a great little bike, nicely finished, handles well, cruises at 70mph easily, tops out at 90+ apparently, 80+mpg. The only hiccup was the replacement water pump and a modified RH engine cover under warranty no argument. I didn't buy it because it's a BM but because it's light but still physically a 'big' bike, it's quick enough, I can manage it, and it came at a damn' good price and as I'm now 78 it'll probably see me out of bikes........but you never know.
