Ive had 2x GS800 and an 07 GS1200.
Current 14 Duke 690 will turn into on of the following:

The LC was ugly at first but has grown on me since they came out in 2013 and lets face it, its a BM :ricky:
The explorer on the other hand is a thing of beauty and she is calling me.  And boy oh boy the sound of these triumphs with a pipe. . .
But I cannot get my head around the claimed dry weights of these machines!

LC 209kg
Xplorer 259kg

Do they feel 50kg different?  Is there any reason I shouldn't look at an explorer?  Im also thinking that im buying cash and as long as I dont take a knock I could always convert if I dont like?

Also not in a hurry, duke will hit 10K km in the next month or so and then to keep FSH she will get her service and then go on sale.
