done, but it's a big challenge to make the bike package smaller. maybe
that's why the 650 Strom uses the 1000 chassis."

I'm thinking along the lines of the big GS BMWs...Very competent road
manners, and enough suspension travel to be comfortable on the typical
washboard that develops on the "semi maintained" roads that cover most
of the interesting bits of hinterland here in the northwest. Run with
traffic on the interstate, bail off on some random forest service road,
explore for a while, and blast back home. Not really "off-road" as such,
just off tarmac.
