I'm not sure if my XRR fits the category, but she is my current Adventure bike. I use it mostly for single day outings and prefer to play race on fireroads, but it will also handle tight single track, though it is more work than my KTM 250. It is plated and I think it is the best big dual sport combination of light weight, good power, and reliability. It has mild engine mods and put down about 52HP at the rear wheel. I also have a Rekluse auto clutch and rear hand brake, which I think are some of the greatest accessories available. I also own a Suzuki SV1000 street bike, but am looking to trade for a large/midsize ADV bike. I am looking forward to seeing the new Honda 1000 twin and hoping Yamaha release a Tenere based on the FZ-07 engine. Nothing currently available really lights my fire?! Here is a pic of my XRR:

I have these Rox 1.5 inch riser blocks for a watercooled R1200GS or GSA that I no longer need. 1 set of 1.5 inch risers & 4 extended bolts. $70 shipped for XLADV crowd.

There is similar info on the events tab on the GS Giants Facebook page. We've been doing this event for about four years now. Two as Beyond Starbucks and now this will be two as a "GS Giants" event. This is truly an amazing area. It's a way to ride in the cooler higher altitude areas of the High Sierras, have incredible catered meals, hot springs and beat the traffic home to be with your family on Labor Day. There will be gps tracks for all levels. Rides are self-guided so use your gps or find a ride leader. No one volunteered last year and I ended up leading one giant group and that was a bad idea. I will lead a semi-advanced ride this year but am limiting it to about 7 riders. Even if pavement is your thing, there's plenty of that to be had. The highlight of the ride is Sunday morning riding up to the top of a 12,400' mountain to see the White Mountain Research Station. It's the one day of the year they open the gate to the public. It's not that difficult a ride but Silver Canyon is a bit steep with some tight switchbacks. I did it myself after riding for 6 months. There's an easier way up and down but it's a lot longer. We will also see petroglyphs, alpine lakes and get to soak our tired bones in nearby hot springs. Official registration link here. That gets you three nights camping, two dinners and beverages. We will also be having a professional photographer take your photos during the weekend. We also have sponsors this year and will be doing a raffle fundraiser for Lost for a Reason charity.

I really miss the one I had! It was stolen from the back of my truck when I still lived in Phoenix. enjoy, and I wish I had it still for weekend trips etc. Too bad Commifornia makes it impossible to register one here now if it's not already plated.

We won't turn you away Pete! Technically your bike is refered to as a BRP (Big Red Pig), so that's close enough to XL for us! Nice looking bike and the Pac NW scenery is beautiful.
