can anyone recommend a decent touring/"enduro" bike for road trips in the mountains? I want something reasonably comfortable for riding 3 hrs at a time, but that won't get me overly anxious when I go over fire trails and Buttermilk Road.
I was thinking bmw F 650 might do the trick

If you are shopping for an 'enduro type bike' Hang out here: advrider.com In fact, find your 'local' sub-forum and you'll likely find some friendly motoheads that'll help hook you up with a nice bike and/or test rides etc.
These are nice ;->

WERA 1983-85 (?) Started on VF750 and then discovered 'the smell of castor oil in the morning' and ran an MT125RII for a while. Was never fast but was slow, mostly. But sure had fun... still brings a smile to my face :-))

i just posted this on another thread; doing so here for sport.
apparently there were quite a few around here in 1909!
i rode this 1984 Yamaha 750 Midnight Maxim in Northern CA when dredging for gold.
notice the birkenstocks? (i just did; hopefully I wasn't riding wearing them.)

May as well post a pic of my 650 V-Strom. I got rid of it to get rid of speed, thinking I might last longer - went back to a KLR 650. I posted my DRZ400S already. That's Boundry Peak in the background.
