Why: I have a Africatwin which i absolutely love and use it for everything. I always try and work in at least 50% gravel into any long tour. That being said, on occasion i might do long (2000km +) tar tours with a friend in future.
I might want to get a 2nd bike for this .......
Questions:
1. Will a tour bike really give me more comfort on tar than my twin to make it worth my while? (Dont know which brand make model -  always had only dual purpose and plastics)
2. What do i buy for up to 100k?  :sip:

[Don't say i should have bought a BMW1200 for everything, my dual purpose bikes MUST always have a 21 & 18 inch wheels  :3some: )
