Well, after 6 months deliberation its here,
and in true boxertrix tradition its not a flat twin..
it was origionaly a toss up between a Tiger 800 and Beemer F800gs, others got a look in, VFR 800, New beemer R1200rs, F800r, even a Yam Tracer/MT09.
It had to be good on my short commute, be fun at the weekends, cope with the odd trackday, tour very occasionally, and be lighter than my sprint Rs.
Choosing was becoming tricky, in the end it came down to engine configuration, it had to be a triple ( sorry ) so test riding the Yam and Tiger was next.
Then I remembered what I got into biking for, it was fun, so i bought one of these...

fun, oh yes....
cheers
