I'm age 59, 6'1", with a 34" inseam. I own a 1200GS, which I love for touring on pavement, and will be keeping it. I'm looking for a second bike to use for forest service roads, gravel, and some tamer sections of BDRs. For my non-paved skills, the 1200 is just bigger than I want for longer stretches of non-paved. Recently demo'd the 310 at our local dealer. Liked lots of things -- fuel injection, abs and tubeless tires...and I was impressed by the power of the little engine. However, ergonomically the cockpit is just to small for me. Had the pleasure of visiting with Paul and Voni at a rally, and am sold on the concept of smaller. I've owned a 700GS, but every seat I put on it still sloped too far forward, and its no much lighter than the 1200. I'm considering the Versys 300, but not thrilled that it has tubes. Has anyone with long legs found a way to fit the 310? If I have to have tubes, how about a Dakar or Sertao. May wait to look at the KTM 390 when in arrives? Appreciate everyone's thoughts
