Guys: Thanks for all of your excellent input regarding my finding another dual sport by May and I will come up with something. I just wanted that new F800GS!!
gpodzo and Paul mentioning the Buell Ulysses will have me checking out when they will become available with the Rotax engine. Ulysses currently has the Sportster 1200 mill and I already have a "Milwaukee vibrator" motor in my garage ... .
This is the new 1125. It is not the Ulysses and it lacks the vibrator motor. It has a two cylinder ROTAX engine.
It is available at a HD dealer today or at least the Buell dealers have them on the floor right now. Might be worth a look see. But it is a sport bike, unfortunately not a GS ride.The 72 degree angle of the v-twin also helps reduce vibration, because it is closer to the perfectly balanced (in terms of primary vibrations) 90 degree layout. Since the engine is rigidly mounted as a stressed member of the chassis, Buell took the extra step of fitting three balance shafts -- two to reduce any remaining primary vibrations, and a third to balance the rocking motion generated by the v-twin power pulses.
