The Mad Duck
Bicycle
I am going to Slovenia in the 3rd week of July. I am planning on and in the process of procurring a rental bike from Adriatic Moto Tours. I am renting for just three days and riding in the Julian Alps, Dolomites and up into Austria! I am stoked! Unfortunately, Adriatic Moto Tours does not have C-14s for rent. My first choices were the Ducati Multistrada and Yamaha FJR 1300. Those are both taken and am left with mostly BMWs to choose from. I am interested in the F 800 ST for its light, nimble character. I will be riding most of the three days on my own with an Austrian friend. He will be on a ZRX 1200R. My wife is going to ride one 4 hour tour with me and she of course likes comfort. I found out that touring/rental company has 1200 Boxers available in various forms: R 1200 GS, R 1200 R, and R 1200 RT. I know the 1200 RT would be the most comfortable for the Mrs. I am hoping to get the best of both worlds, sportiness/good handling and not make my wife miserable during her one ride with me. Would the BMW R 1200 R Roadster be a good compromise? Would the BMW F 800 ST offer as much comfort as the Roadster yet be more nimble on the mountain roads. These and many more questions need answers. ;D Here is a link to Adriatic Moto Tours where I will be renting the bike. >>> http://www.smtours.com/Motorcycle-rental Thoughts? opcorn:
