Combine a Fazer With a Triumph Tiger And You Get a What? - Ideas Please
#21
Versys 650 or TDM 900, I've got both & they'll easily fill your requirements.
Of the two the Versys is better in traffic, the TDM can be snatchy at slow speed/revs.

TDM 850? The last generation they made had a different crank and sound amazing with an upgraded exhaust can. Worth a look, may struggle with 200 miles if you're going 95 though...

BMW F800GT

Supposed to do 60mpg +
Plus its a belt drive.
Test rode one a couple of months back....ok ish.
----------------------
Now looking at the new Versys 650 tourer.
Complete with twin boxes MRA screen, hand guards, heated grips.  Under £7k. Lots of specials on the 2013 models, white or black.
Well worth a look.

That's the second shout for a Versys so will start looking at them seen as a Transalp only seems to do high 40's mpg!


The TDM 850 was nearly a winner over the Tiger some years back - very similar to the Tiger size wise so may have to leave it - more so with tank size..........the Tiger has a 25 litre jobby and does 53mpg regularly with my riding style. 200 miles, fill it up and i've still got 7 odd litres left.


BMW F800GT is a good shout - will give it a look!


A friggin Tazer...... :lol . Thought these comments would have come first but at least someone had a go  :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

Gen 1 thou had 21ltr tank, gently will do around 180 range,


Well that looks like the Gen1 thou is out........doubt it will touch 200 miles if i sit at 95 on t'motorway and I get bored taking it easy.

Wouldn't be so sure about that. I recently came back from Hereford fully loaded with luggage 80 -95 MPH most the way and my fuel light came on just before I got home at 193 miles. I know for a fact that there is over a gallon left in the tank, so you do the maths.

For me it comes back to, would you actually want to do 200 miles before you stop for a break? If so, hats off to you; if not, perhaps you're limiting your choice unnecessarily?
