There are three of us in this marriage - SV650.org

After my little off in Thailand me and my husband traded in the two hire ER6n's for one XJR 1200 so I could ride pillion. While in Thailand I could accept him swooning over the XJR, the way he lovingly stroked its shiny curves and forgave it having to be bump started every morning.

But this was a holiday romance for my husband that didn't end when we returned to England.

His BMW F650GS Dakar is now out of favour, cast aside without a second thought and it will shortly be appearing in the 'non-Sv's for sale' section (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=147049) as yesterday he looked at this at Alpha Motors in Leigh on Sea:

I can't really compete. He has found his one true love. (But at least I may have some chance of riding the XJR as it is a lot lower than the Dakar.)

ha ha ha... excellent,

I had an xjr and loved it, just didn't get on with the handling so much. HUUUUGE seat though, enjoy.

They are a great bike - although ground clearance was a pain when "pressing-on" for me...

Gotta love the huuuuge torque of that monster engine though

I know how you feel... There are five of us in our relationship and I swear that Carol wants to cheat with either a new Z-thou or an old Zephur.

I feel so unloved!

Off to try and start the GTR and get it rolling again now.

He went to Thailand and fell in love with a bike?

That's a first!

And she is the one came back with a rash, definitely a first.

Did not know the Afrika Korps were still in existance? In Thailand! Who would have thought...

Nice. Lovely big solid bikes (for two too). Just need to be MADE to handle.

I remember Dan Walsh saying these bikes were "like wafting around in an old jag"

Enjoy.
