Personally, I'm quite fond of big jugs, so round and fully packed.

I see my bikes like the old work truck. Why spend tons of money if you're going to hack it or use it all up. That said, I wouldn't mind having a KLR650 and a 2wd Ural sidecar. Oh, and something besides a carport to park them in.

Put up some studs and enclose your carport.
Its not hard to do.

The KLR and Ural would be more for camping, the washboards on some of the Forest Service roads would rattle my poor S40 apart in no time. As for the carport, I live in a Condo, and the HOA would have some serious objections. Hopefully, in the next couple of years, I can buy something with an actual heated garage were I can work.

Yes you can Dave!! at $5,970 you can have a BMW310R

Get a Moto Guzzi. I'm pretty sure BMWs Started Out as Guzzis, but they got old and the big jugs, so round and fully packed, sagged.

Just let them know that the garage you are building will be passed on to them at no cost, and the improved property will be able to be rented for $100 more than previously charged. 😎

I don't dream about a 310R.....I dream about a R 1200 RT!
And the other issue I have is that BMW parts are not that easy for me to get - the closest dealer is 2 hours away. And the R 1200 RT is so loaded down with electronic stuff (traction control, suspension settings, ABS).....I don't know what/how I could get it fixed if something went wrong. When it is working right it is reported to be the best sport touring bike ever built.

I've been thinking about that 310R BMW, light weight, good seat height and fast enough for the back roads that I travel. In short all the same reasons I like my S40. Except, it probably needs to rev a little to put out some decent power and torque. The new small Kawasaki Versy looks interesting also.
I don't ride the S40 because it is cheap, I ride it because I like it. I like my motorcycles light and simple with some low end torque.

Same here, it is why I have a 300 Ninja, it is almost maintenance free.... and gets roughly 64 miles to the gallon most times
